Probably wont be doing more reviews anymore.

I seem to have lost momentum to do writing stuff, maybe i'll come back to it, but for now there wont be another review for a while, if ever.

Here's why though, instead of writing, i've decided to join Weeklybeats and make music. Weeklybeats is a 52-week long project and the idea is to make a song every week. Whatever you want to do. There is no competition and no penalty if you miss a week, just simply get back into it. There are alot of brilliant stuff on it. I was thinking maybe after I finish my Diploma studies i will perhaps do mini-reviews of some stuff that i really enjoyed.

Here's my profile and the first 10 weeks of my music

Week 1 "Nebula Angels" (outer space-step)
Week 2 "Thought Ambulance" (happy chilled guitar amp processed tunes)
Week 3 "Michael Gira's Fucktorium (freaky outty goth stuff)
Week 4 "Voicer" (Dry samples of sowing machine sounds)
Week 5 "Whale And Friends" (average electro song-my baby brother was born that week and it was really hectic)
Week 6 "Sixty Six String Wing Sing A Long Appolyon" (Guitar only indie stuff)
Week 7 "Discuss//Disguist" (trip hop noisy tune-got 2 positive reviews from it)
Week 8 "Sixty Six String Wing Sing A Long Napoleon: (guitar only chilled drone stuff)
Week 9 "Return The Equine Joy" (no input mixing+3 bonus synths)
Week 10 "Adventure Bros Time" (My first LSDJ song)

Week 11 - My 2nd LSDJ song


Also, expect a release from yours truly later, what i intend to do is for those that arent aware of Weeklybeats or cant be bothered to go through all my pages to download songs is to create a compliation every 3 months or something consisting of all my weeklybeats compositions, for free of course, that way people can DL my tunes real easy.

Reviews for the track "Discuss//Disgust"

From Xenocrony
A really great memorable track with a really odd beginning and ending containing some almost piano-like slightly plucked string sound. Those parts are interested, but my favorite section are the really excellent beats and the ambient, sort of flute-like strings (the main melody is rather contagious). The emotional feel of the track also matches up pretty well with the track title.
