retroboytimo : man, when I heard this on heartcode, I've had goosebumps, those beats. I really dig the updated version more though.

Eebgoz : Instant classic. Easily one of the best chip tunes I've heard so far.

Disasterpeace : Yea I really appreciate that he did that as well, it's nice to get feedback. I'm probably going to leave it the way it is because it's a challenging rhythmic melody and I enjoy that, but thanks Random :) I may mess with the note durations or something.

dotdUmmy : This sounds like a futuristic city! ;) I love the claps. I love the ritard at the end. It really grooves hard. FWIW, I have no problems with the section Random referenced. I like the touches of dissonance they create. Plus, I think any melody over a beat in 5/4 would be a little weird. But bravo to him: it's about time someone gave some thoughtful constructive criticisms here!

Disasterpeace : Yea I was gonna ask about that... haha

Random : Err... "The synth lead from 4:10 or so, which just comes"..?? Don't know what happened to me while typing that really... What I meant to say is that synth lead is really great! :)

Disasterpeace : Oh! I see now, thanks for clearing that up. Yea I can see your point for sure, they definitely clash a little being so close in timbre... hmm... definitely some food for thought. thanks!

Random : Disasterpeace: I was mainly talking about the composition of that melody (rather than the sound). From about 2:50 to 3:50 mainly isn't really spot on imho... Sorry I wasn't clear enough. It might be that melody being played with that sound, but I think it's the melody itself I feel this way about... The other more arpeggio-orientadet melody, with short cut notes, which is played by the same synth I think works very well.
But please understand this is something I would never comment on unless the rest of the song was so great :)
The synth lead from 4:10 or so, which just comes

MISTER BEEP : Fine song - as usual.
The beginning sound exactly like from ZX Spectrum's beeper. :)
Keep up the good work.

Disasterpeace : thanks man! coming from you means a lot. interesting about the lead, it must be that extra little something that i added to the square wave, kinda gives it a little bit of a nasally sound I suppose. you're the first to mention it, maybe i'll mess with it a little. glad you like it!

Random : Daaaamn! I love it! Great arrangement of the whole song, great beat and rhythm, great chord progression, great sound image; the mix of chip sounds with the incredibly sexy synth pad chords, and later on the synth lead is perfect!
The more chippy lead, which starts 1/4 in to the song or so, could be worked on though, or removed completely, because it's slightly annoying... I didn't think so at first, but after listening a few times, it kind of gets in the way for all the good stuff going on in the song. It just doesn't fit in very good. Still, amazing track!

Disasterpeace : haha yea, he is definitely an influence on my work ... pulsing, ostinatos, what have you, he's all about that stuff. :)
