Run....... Some frantic,jazzy electronica with a sprinkling of guitar.
Another track from my pending folder i've revisited to give it a hopefully better mix and mastering job. There are some little bits of guitar in there somewhere if you can detect them. ;-) Hope you enjoy. http://soundcloud.com/usb-2/run

So, John, why is it pending? I loved this one. The groove, the change-ups, everything. It sounded done to me. Really liked it.

Thanks Phil. Glad you enjoyed. This track is quite a few years old and i've revisited it so many times because i could never get it sounding how i really wanted it to sound, mainly in the percussion area. I think i've just about cracked it now though, so hopefully, this one is finally out of the "pending folder".:-)

I'll never understand this genera, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it. I like this one much more than some of the others? It has a warmer quality to it. But doesn't feel to heavy in any one area/spectrum. Love the electronic piano tone. If I had to make any suggestions? I may say kick it in the ass a bit on the master? What I learned a good ways in was that the bass is actually "an acoustic bass guitar?" So Either keep that, and add a sub bass to accentuate it? Or just boost the lows on the mains. However, keep in mind? Anything I say may be, and probably is wrong? :-) I did enjoy your tune though! Sometimes, it's difficult for music of this type to hold my interest? But this did just that...

This sounds like a finished product to me, John. I like the strong percussion which drives the song. One of the hardest things to do as a self producer is to know when enough is enough. I'm sure you could do any number of changes to this, but it works for me. It would be ideal in a film.

Love how you have taken this heavy industrial beat/sounds and then throw a blend of space/warmth. I'm really liking the synth used at 1:44. GREAT work!

You seem to have a way with percussion that I am somewhat jealous of. Good work John.

Thanks Robby. Pleased you liked it. :-) Yeah i'm not surprised that you prefer this one over my previous ones as it's probably the least "electronica" sounding track i've done. I have messed around with adding a sub to the acoustic bass, but did'nt really achieve what i wanted. I may try again sometime, but i don't thik it sounds to bad now. Cheers.

Very cool tune. Funky bass and drums. I'm not a particular fan of electronica, but I enjoyed this.

Cheers Lynn. Yeah i think i'll finally call this one finished as it must have been a wip for about five years now i think. Pleased you liked the percussion as that's the main area i was never fully satisfied with, but now i think i am. Thanks.

I love the tempo changes, they give a considerably different feel to the song each time. The percussion sounds great and as usually you have crafted a great sounding tune. Stick a fork in it -- it's done. I would say very well done! Excellent stuff John.

Cheers Shad. Yep, the way the percussion used to be on this one was always a deal breaker for me, but i think i've finally got it how i think it needs to be. Thanks.

Nice groove - great textures - hypnotic - love the stnad up bass groove - - nice rhodes / elec piano - cool rhythm / percussion patterns around 3:20. I like the synth sound at 4:35.

Blipp,
Nice one, really well done. I am usually not a fan of this style of music but ended up listening 2-3 times thus far to this song. Are using some of the NI Komplete stuff? Sounds super pro...
Regards

@Wookiee: Thanks john, and cheers for the comments on soundcloud. Glad you enjoyed.
@Rimshot: Cheers Rimshot. Appreciate your kind words and pleased it sounds good on your system.
@Freddy J: Thanks Freddy. Yep i think it's done now. Ouch!! Missed my aim with the fork. :-D
@Clean: Cheers Mark. Pleased you liked the guitar on this. The guitar part was a bit of an afterthought, but i think it complements the piano sounds well.
@guitartrek: Thanks Geno. Appreciate your kind words. Pleased you enjoyed it.
@markno999: Ta Mark. Thanks for listening a few times, glad you liked it. I'm using just the basic synths that came with my DAW (Project 5) and some free vsti's i downloaded. Can't really afford the expensive synths, but would like to if i could.
@sharke: Many thanks J. Thanks for the comparrison. Appreciated. :-D
