Trying to minimise repetition and still make sense. It's my goal to try and keep on developing further throughout, but it is hard to make lots of consistently good/valid variations. So it would be good to hear which bits you liked or didn't like. Thanks for listening! https://soundcloud.com/tubularmiriam/morden-acid

The intro is cool, and very nice to hear it hit again when the first half wound down. I kinda wish I didn't see the soundcloud simple waveform thing though, made me expect it.

The slight higher freq ring on the bass hit in temporar 2 really works.

Really crisp tones you've got out of that thing. That intro on oahu night is very good and making me anticipate the rest of the track, and the sort-of-drop halfway through sunny gator is quite satisfying.

That boy needs therapy! Can't help but be reminded of frontier psychiatrist

Really crisp. Normally really repetitive stuff just annoys me, but I'd listen to this while I worked or did some other task - it's pretty hypnotic in a nice way. I think as far as the intended purpose of the music goes it works very well!

I've tried going back to basics a little here, using simpler sounds, limited effects/processing, and relying more on melodic structures. Playful interaction between instruments is something I really enjoy listening to, so I thought I'd give it a go. Waiheke is something I've just written. Red Panda Acid is a little older but in the same spirit, and I never really had any feedback on it. Any comments/criticism would be very welcome. In particular I am concerned that Waiheke lacks breathing space and doesn't really return to the original themes, it is just a response to a response. I wondered if the listener would find these things detrimental to the total effect. Thanks for listening! http://soundcloud.com/tubularmiriam/waiheke

Definitely sounds dirty! I can see this being used in a combined media project, might be good to use as an unsettling tension-builder somewhere. The gifs in your sig seemed rather to fit lol. I would have liked a little more of a musical development somewhere I suppose. A few more simple variations of the vocal samples, and more of a response to the sounds you first introduce would be pleasing.

Either I lack the mental facilities to appreciate this, or there is nothing to appreciate.

Some really fun sounds in there. Takes me back to the ole hardcore times, also nice production!

The shaded path: nice atmospheric thing, I like that you wait a while before introducing new instruments. A little bit bare, but otherwise I like this one. Baguirmi: The start is interesting, mixing up the various highly reverbed percussive stuff with heavy kicks was felt fairly satisfying, nice combination of sounds. A little more variation out of the plucked strings would have made me happy. I felt the track didn't really need to go on any longer than the ~3.45 point though. It seemed to have said everything it was going to say by then. Also the slow attack on the strings made their shorter notes seem a bit awkward. Majapahit: Afraid I didn't really like it. Too repetitive use of simple motifs without substantial challenge to them or change within them.

I feel that this track has some internal conflict. The melodic lead appears at first to be intended to be the primary interest - at least based on your post title, but the track quickly becomes a heavily textural thing with the actual melodic structure taking a back seat. Taken at face value I don't think the track itself is bad, but if your goal is to represent the braindance theme in melody then I would recommend trimming down the perc and pads, and giving greater focus and attention to the lead instruments. Apologies if I am misinterpreting your intentions.

Oh! Sorry I totally spaced on that one, if there are any roaming mods capable of moving it then go ahead!

https://soundcloud.com/tubularmiriam/high-drama-of-the-molerats-in This is a tune that I made about the lives of molerats. It's meant to be a kind of adventure, originally set to a molerat bit from BBC's Africa which they won't let me play to people due to laws. It might not sound very moleratty, what do you think? :)

Jeez the face on the SAWII cover looks like it wants someone to kill it. Why are you naming your album that? The music's alright though! :)
