Good stuff Nice work! You make me want to break out my midi keyboard again and try some stuff. I hope you'll keep up the good work, and keep crankin' stuff out! |

nice Good buildup... didn't care for the bass boo-wa-wooo- wa-woo before the quiet break much, seemed out of place (weird amoeboid creature floating by?) but the rest of it was great. Good driving melody in the last half, but not sure if I'd classify this as AMBIENT electronica, the driving beat seemed too up-front for ambient in my brain, but I'm not great at categorizing, so I leave it to others to suggest a good spot... this is better than most for it. So don't just sit on those nice gems, polish them up and post them, they're cool! ttfn, Drakonis |

Slick Shimky I really enjoyed this. Glad you didn't keep waiting to post it. So...do we have to wait 3 more months for the next one? |

Spacious Very cool; very soundtrack-ish. Reminds me a lot of the music from the old game Descent. Very cool beats and great production! Really dug the ambient-y middle part. Great job! |

descent! wicked song! would go perfect with a snowboard video! I see someone flying down the side of a mountain listening to this! |

Not too shabby! This is some solid loop arrangement! I once tried making a song with that first ambient atmospheric melody loop, and it wasn't nearly as good as this. This song starts out with a nice build. Everything fits together well, until...the break in the middle. It doesn't seem to mesh well with the rest of what you have. Then again, I'm partially biased because I use that loop in one of my songs! :p But bias aside, I think you might be able to ditch that break altogether, or at least try using a different loop for it. I'd be very interested to hear any of your future endeavors. And hey, if you're interested in seeing how I used that one loop myself, check out my song "Indigo Regret". |

That middle . . . Yeah, I totally dig that middle section as well. Lots of atmosphere. The song's best when it's quiet and not hiding behind all the relentless drums. The rest is pretty standard electronica and doesn't really float my boat. Dancing robot music lacking melodic richness and diversity. Repetitive? You bet, but that is the genre, I suppose. Regardless, NEVER be afraid to post stuff! Ever. |

i guess this could have freaked me out.. in certain situations.....i like that scratcing sound that comes in in the middle. Very nice buildup. I think it gets less interesting towards the end, but keep in my mind that i usually dont listen to this type music, so it is probably just me beeing studid. Well done, I think i should listen to more music like this! |

I have to disagree with atwood1956… … but I agree with Drakonis: ambient electronica it isn't really, well maybe in places, but I'd say it was too dancey for that genre. I like it a lot and think it's got style and a certain amount of originality for what is a potentially overdone genre and given that it's got some loops in it. I like your space ship and I look forward to travelling in it again soon. Sorted! |

OOoh wondered where you got to!!! :) Nice choice of synths and fx here. I think you have used a lot of great sounds in here and have followed a good form in the arrangement, I like the flow and blending of the track overall and the production is not bad. a few sounds are panned too much to the left eg: the perc and pad synth about midway, but overall levels are nice and balanced. cool first upload look forward to hearing more Slimmie |

laid back I like this. Perfect for my drowsy late night listening. It's laid back but has a lot going on. Interesting changes. Part of the melody/sound reminds me of something but I don't know what it is. It just puts me in a dreamy mood. Nice job putting this together. |

kept me going like the mellow groove of this... i recognized some loops, but they weren't out of place at all - probably better used than when i used them. :) |

Out of this world! This wouldn't be out of place on a Chemical's CD - hope you don't stay lonely in your spaceship for long! |

Descent Must agree with Einarus. This one also reminds me of the old game 'Descent'. Although this is not really the sort of music, I'm generally listen to, nevertheless it sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing! |

...to go where no man has... Hey Shmiky, Thanks for giving a hoot about what I think... Here goes... I dig it. I think the textures are translucent and delicious. You seem to pay enough attention to keeping the audience interested with enough new information as the song develops. The middle break down part is a bit on the long side for my tastes. I felt the pulse could have kicked in a bit sooner. Overall I really liked it and gave you very high marks. Right on. Solid. Groovey. |

Space Suit On! The different sounds with their own textures and nuances compliment eachother so well...this song takes you on a nice journey, very well done, zero gravity! |

Excellent Production I like the progression and layering of sounds. Like Tom, I think the middle quieter section could go on longer, as its own piece perhaps. BTW, if I were to hesitate posting to MacJams thinking I needed a big hit, I'd never post anything. :) |

Trippy I subscribe to Komrade's comment: it reminds me of the Chemical B's, too. Tasty beats and very atmospherical synths. Good production ... keep it up. |

There can never be too much bass This piece rattles the bones in my foot that's resting on my woofer. (That's a good thing!) Great mix of sounds, everything works together and there is room for some surprises. A great example of how using loops does not mean a lack of creativity. |
sound that does communicate booking through
space passing planets and stars as your ship
skips along thru galaxies. Pulsating, gravity
powered engines drone on. And then.... the
destination. As the ambient music begins a
pristine world of colors unlike any on earth
breaks into view. The ship glides through the
atmosphere... and the sights and music go on
and on. All too quickly it is time to leave and the
steady sound of the the engines kick in... off to
another world out somewhere out there.
just for fun....
