Ninjaboy said:it's wierd cos this is the thing that scares me about going back to england, when i stayed in fukoka for the weekend, everything was so expensive to me. 5000 yen for a capsule, 5000 for a beer and a steak, 2000 for some food and a drink in a bar, but that is from a korean perspective, you get a bottle of soju for the same price as a cup of sake from the family mart here
ATOMIC SUPLEX said:I think you were going to the wrong places. You can fill up on boose and food in shinjuku for 5000 for two.

Na. I never win. Art's too much for the urban crowdNinjaboy said:i want chooch to win![]()


I like this 5 in the morning sort of stuff, i love those computery sounds half way through as well. Reminds me of when I used to take pills, folky trippy stuff, good bass as well.
Ninjaboy said:here's my reviews.....
ADSR- Lost in Djakarta
mmmm, nice and mellow, really like the pads on this. bit too mellow for me personally, but i like the way all the melodies bounce off each other. I reckon there should be more bass in there, a nice little sub in the background or something, but nicely put together. probly could have stood to be a minute or so shorter imo
Atomic Suplex - Can I Be Your Girlfriend
I love your stuff, it's funny and nice, I love the Europop backing music. Proper makes me smile and swing my head. I like songs with a story, why don't songs have a story anymore?
Really like this, better than the shite in the charts, kooky and that......
Average Joe - Come Over Here
Not my bag at all I'm afraid, I like the idea, but it needs to be a lot grittier. The synths are cool, i like that little wee-ooo-wooo sound specially, but for this sort of stuff to appeal to me it needs more distortion and sleaziness.
I would probly like it better without the vocal, cos the sounds are really nice...
Boing - boxful of spanners
I like this a lot, nice fat bassline and excellent beat, I used to love this stuff, reminds me of old hardcore...ACIIEEEED!!!! Makes me feel like dancin, i mean really dancin....This is definetely one of my favourites. Good use of the phaser, very tasteful iyswim. not too keen on the synth that comes in halfway through tho, it's a bit too prominent
Wouldn't mind having a crack at this bassline....
Boomclick soundsystem
I like this, really nice vocal and goes well with the padsI like this 5 in the morning sort of stuff, i love those computery sounds half way through as well. Reminds me of when I used to take pills, folky trippy stuff, good bass as well.
Chooch - Sbahn
YAAY! experimental I love this sort of 'feed a load of sounds into your brain' approach. Feels like the song is making itself up as it goes along (in a good way) Maybe it's a bit short, seems to just be starting when it fades out again, i wanted it to kick off. love that feedback sound tho......really reminds me of Compost Records
Fatter Faction - Rebel Base
Really good, i really love the drumming and the bass on all the FF tracks, tbh wasn't too keen on the vocal for this one, that synth with attack on during the verse totally fucking owns tho, would like to hear this with some different accapellas
Fong - Urban
Really like this one, the guitar is beautiful, and i love all the effects on it. Nicely paced and atmospheric, i love the way it just sort of drifts along and then drifts off as well. the one thing i wasn't too keen on was the beat, reminded me of the 80s a bit, but apart from that a top top effort
Funky_Ken - Princess Zakina
I fucking love this track, this is definetely my favourite Funky_Ken one so far. really cool sounds and well put together as always, but the beat, and the horns on this one really make it stand out. it is very close to that old tune 'Fist-Funk', but i'll let you off this time... Maybe the beat could do with a few more changes, but I can't really criticise it cos you seem to have achieved exactly the tune you set out to make![]()

Hiccup - Simple Sounds
mmmm, nice smooth guitar and beat, nice and simple, i love the little subtle bits that come in halfway through as well. The gulls are a nice touch, it's a shame they are looped. A nicely made track, could have developed a bit more in the 2nd half (even though it's meant to be simple....)
MC5 - Natural
Really funky beat, I like the wah wah pedal as well. I think the voices get a bit crowded in places. It's really difficult to have two seperate voices singing different songs at the same time, and i don't think it quite works here. Maybe the vocals need more work, but I still liked it
Mrdrwg - fckinyeah
I really like your stuff, nice mellow psychedelic sort of music. Like someone else said, there's a lot of Orbital in there, nice floaty trippy sounds all bouncing off each other. Was too short maybe, but a nice chilled out song definetely
PK - It Won't Give Up
Drumnbass drumnbass........I love that bassline, and the beat. Used to be right into this sort of minimalist dnb. The eerie sounds are class as well. Nice synths just coming in. It definetely needs to change more, dunno, maybe make the bassline mutate a bit or summat
I've got a metalheads samplepack i'll dig out for ya cos i reckon you could have a lot of fun with it
Starfish - Heroes of Switzerland
I like this a lot reminds me of the early 90s, I love the spoken parts, and the guitars. Not too keen on the chorus, but as a whole the song definetely rocks. cool title as well. Yeah, really nice vibe on this, sounds like a car chase
fuckin hell, that was quite a lot of work.....
anyway, my votes are
1 Funky Ken
2 Boing!
3 Chooch
roll on the next one....
Nice one mate. Ninjaboy said:yeah it took about an hour
which gave me an idea
maybe we could do the voting in 2, 2 week heats next time??
MC5 said:I don't understand that? No doubt it will become clearer as time passes.![]()
Appreciate the review.
Ninjaboy said:like if we have 12 entries, have two voting threads with 6 each, and then the top 3 from each thread go into the final.....
then people don't have so much music to listen to at once...

It's all fucking bleep bleep disco rave music anyway so there wouldn't be much of a split.MC5 said:Not sure if that will work. Would it be split on music genre?
Glad you like it. I'll make it longer when I can be arsed. Echoing everyone else, sterling work for reviewing everythingNinjaboy said:Chooch - Sbahn
