I was waiting for this, songs are killers. Structures and electronic parts are amazing !
But I'm a bit disapointed on the production side... the whole thing sounds very boomy and scooped. I thought the previous clips you posted sounded way better.
Anyway, congrats for the release

Going through on my second listen, Fucking killer, I have been waiting for this for some time now. I have to ask though, WTF is up with the guitars? The demo versions (on the facebook) sounded much better imo.

 

[jCo76]

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely agree! I didn't have as much time as I wanted to mix due to my hard drive eating up most of the EP not too long ago (just after I announced the release, it sucked). Nevertheless, I'm still happy with the outcome and I can't wait to get onto my next release!

Sounds awesome, man! I love Lava Canyon. The lead guitar playing is ripping!

I LOVE this! Midnight Casino was really cool. Only complaint is that I wish it sounded better!

What are you using for the synths? Are they actually played on a keyboard or did you program by hand?

This is like a dream come true, two of the (in my opinion) best genres of music come together. Only "complaint" is - As others have mentioned - The guitars.. Well, I won't say they suck, I'd say the whole mix in general would be better if the guitars were higher in the mix and had a "fatter" sound, but that's my opinion. Shit's badass in every way other possible.

 

[jCo76]

Awesome. Glad you're enjoying the album. Appreciate all the feedback too!

Sounds like you worked your ass off! It's really good.

Sounds like you worked your ass off! It's really good.

Definitely worth it in the end though! Thanks guys.

This is awesome stuff, man. Great composition. I'll agree with what others have said, I find the guitars could be louder and punchier, and the mix as a whole is very hollow and scooped-sounding, but it doesn't distract me very much from the writing. I almost wish I could have mixed a song or two. At any rate, great stuff!

 

[LeSedna]

That's pretty cool musically ! I won't state the obvious (production), but just wanted to say I'm digging, even if I'm really fan of djenty riffs.

Thanks guys Just a heads up, I've got some playalong vids that I'll be uploading very soon and I plan to do some vids on how I go about composing the music too. Keep your eyes peeled, cheers!
