You have to be more specific.

Sampled break beats or 808s and synths?

Boombap eastcoast, G-funk west coast or memphis pre-trap.

Finally did a song that Myke had a positive review of.

Oh I guess anything that sounds less contemporary, but especially if you have something brighter + more old school.

Tfw you finally have an excuse to post a specific band's music

I made a new album. Part of the "Creative Suicide" series, which is my way of saying that it's a mess.

As a bonus, it has vomit inducing cover artwork!

Creative Suicide IV

^^^I really wanna play guitar over some of that. Like at the end of that first track, it reminded me a bit of a riff from somewhere I can't seem to remember. Really well produced though, from what I'm hearing as I skim through a bit of it. I'm just not really into the 8 bit stuff (I think that's what it is??). It's lacking warmth and dynamics, I guess you could say. If this was part of a video game, like Solstice maybe, oh ****... I'd have been all over it. Your abilities are not lost though. The song structures and your use of whats available show your true talent. Really liking the tune that starts at around 9:30... I'm still listening and typing... I'm really liking this.

It's what you're used to, and you make it work. That's some praise-worthy **** my friend.

Thanks a bunch Plank!

I'm glad you find something to appreciate about it. It's true that it's got a relatively cold sound. It's written in software that traces a line back to the sort of software that Amiga music was usually written in. The samples are often home-made though, through an old Adlib music program. It's a sound I'm so closely tied to that I can't possibly imagine what anyone else than me will hear it like. To me, it's as familiar and taken-for-granted as the air I breathe.

If you wanna shred on something, I put all of my music files in publicly available Google drive folders. Here's the link for the .it and .mp3 files for this particular album.

Make sure to throw it my way if you make anything!

I might also re-upload the album some time this christmas. I've found a few sequences I'd like to change a tiny bit. My first wrap-up of an album NEVER manages to be the final one.
