I liked it!

It reminded me a little of David Bowie 70's electronics efforts. The only thing that I can think of that might make it stronger would be to expand on the theme(title)with one or more additional thoughts.

Lots of fun! Happy melody, great noise percussion fx.

Post

Original retro music :lol:
I mean... new sounds and arrangement, but the inspiration came from old time electronics.
The robot vocals come out perfect.

Nicely done :tu:

Cheers

I listened to this again on very cheap little desktop speakers and it sounds even better through them - grittier. Very catchy. What genre would you call this?

Post

Great melody, and the bass in conjunction with the KLC pads gives the piece a dark atmosphere that works very well to create a dramatic piece of music. The "mechanised" percussion track reinforces the robotic theme nicely.

Good work :)

Post

Perfect sound design for this robotic tune. The percussion and speech synthesis are both great. Nice mix. A retro classic!

Post

Neat stuff, layzer! I particularly liked the "mechanized percussion track," as seismic1 called it. And good work on the robot voice, too.

Thanks for stopping by, FLP!

Bowie, huh? hey Frantz, you do a good Bowie, we should do a proper Bowie tune!
yes, the lyrics are pretty weak, i blame it on VSTspeek not allowing more phrases
per key. ahh well. Glad you liked :D :borg:

hi Richard, thanks for tuning in :D

Glad it was fun for you! yes, i been using Linplug's RMiV for drums for some time.
It has an analog percussion engine modeled after the Roland TR-606, an old hardware
favorite of mine!

Nice track. All the sounds are great together and they give it a great vibe!
Well done. :)

Music with progressive intent.

This has really good flavor to it! The variety of sounds makes this fresh and interesting amongst the millions of other songs that use the same elements.

This could be a taste thing but you might want to look at rounding off some of the high frequencies in the bouncy bass. It's not a big issue, just a suggestion.

Great work and love the creativity on this track!
