not bad but really pathetic, sad --not in the way just being sad... i think you are putting too much hopelessness in your music. sorry to say that. if you could try tu put there more hope (not pulling out happiness if it isn't there) it would be much much greater.
i said not bad. it doesn't hurt the ear and if it does not, it's a damn certain achievement. you reamind me (a bit?a bit?) of modest mouse (i don't like them) and...... Damon Albarn is god, whatever
:)
peace
oh nearly i forgot:
1 and 5 are nice.
6 is overloaded (2much of layers) imho
7 is scary :(
hey, 8 is a nicer one. the rhytm. the trumpet. effects. (reminds me of Blur: 'Caravan', and the trumpet hm the concept .... 'Jets' anyone?) *and thats a HUGE compliment man:) not bad mixing out there, I only wonder if that buzzing yrrr is from my speakers or is it 2many layers)
9: like the music
10: i feel a bit out of harmony in some places, have you done that on purpose (piano 3strike in verse) but again it comes that trumpet so it is 50/50. ah and your voicing is nice here.
11: i'm getting sure that there is too much bass (mixing) the buzz overtakes the song. but its a nice 'mash' anyway. i see it like a kind of conceptual fix-up for the album, it stands for it.
12: i'd like to hear more of that - and more brave concepts, this is nice but it simply couldnt shock, really release interest towards you. again honestly. wish you well, pho3
