downloading this shit now. I'll write a post about it hopefully by this weekend when I have time to actually do things.
-
hurray. will download and listen when home from work. disclaimer on my track is that the lyrics are older (I wrote them around the time of the last troubs, which didn't get released) and the beat is new. and sorry about the adlibs, retrospectively i mixed them too loud.

Well, I'm pretty sure Hey Little Girl is my favourite track on this. I feel really good listening to it. ATARI's tracks are very clean and sound great. I don't get from them the feeling of immediate understanding and recognition that I get from Vincent's track, there's emotional content in there and it's strong but I didn't immediately go "I know what this song is about", I went "I am listening to a talented musician who has been recorded well." Peppermint Schnapps was hilarious and wonderful. Aer's track, Let's Get Started, was weird because I think it was house of some kind but it didn't have the big kick with sidechain compression and carefully selected frequencies that I'd expect from a house track. Maybe it was an artistic choice, but it sounded like the sounds were all scrunched towards the mids and flatness resulted. Aborto's tracks were also a bit loud in the middle, I think because of how they were recorded but I liked the melodies in them.
As for Biggles, Biggles should quit. (Not a chance, pal.) In Biggles' track the adlibs were too loud, the beat was overly repetitive, the drums fit together awkwardly, there's weird pauses in the vocals. The wrong words are stressed and it's easy to get the impression that the lyrics are on their third beat (they are) and a bit of feeling has been lost in the transition. The drums don't go hard enough and often the low end of the beat just kind of drones. No impact. Fuck this Biggles kid and his keyboard-ass beats, he sounds like a nerdcore MC with a cold on an off day rapping over a video game theme song with the notes in reverse order. (Another track, another lesson learned. ;] I don't dislike my track quite that much, but my opinion of my music always changes drastically after I'm aware other people have heard it.)

i'm not... sure what that means. I have so much to do this weekend, so I'm scheduling to get this written up before tuesday.

I think this was a really strong troubadours even though we only had songs from four people. I don't really want to fault people for having poor sound quality but that that was really all I could gripe about for some of them. There are a lot of really talented musicians here and it's fun to listen to everyone.
I should have maybe clarified that Aborto Guei was Mince, Nathaniel Tann is Atari, Madolah is Aer and Vincent Olmsted and MIDIchlorain were me.
-
I am bumping this shit.
-
Yeah I think it was a good troubs too. Maybe for the next one we should actively seek out people who have contributed in the past. With a threatening recruitment letter. You're drafted, buster.
-
Would love to get Lars and a few others back for the Troubs.
-
I'm on some sort of mission to make myself less social and more creative, I'll join in with the next one for sure.
