Music: Drum & Bass / Blues

[TheWorm]

I haven't posted music here in a long time, or on the internet in general. I just haven't felt the need to, but today I posted a couple of songs I've made over the past couple of months.

Nine Days Wonder - This is one of the first songs I've made with my Electribe MX-1 since I got it this past holiday season. For those of you who don't know, the Electribe is a machine that can produce up to 7 drum parts and 5 synth parts all at the same time. The five synth parts are monophonic (which means you can only use a synth part to play one note at a time, no chords). I'm still getting the hang of this machine and I don't think it's quite up to par with what I can do using software, but I'm getting there.

The Boulder City - This is a song that I've been infrequently working on on and off for quite some time now.

I also plan to start putting unfinished projects up on this wordpress, since I usually save my Newgrounds account for projects I feel are finished.

Eh.

1st one
It's too bland and sounds like 90% of the techno type stuff on newgrounds.

2nd one
Isn't pleasing.

EDIT: First one is better for sure.

I love them both, although I'd take "Nine Days Wonder" over the other.  The only problem that I have, is that they're too short :(

It's a style, get over it.

"YOU DON'T LIKE IT? MUST BE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE STYLE"
No, it's because I don't like it.

No, it's because I don't like it.

If you generally dislike the style, then don't comment on the material.  I hate rap, doesn't mean I go and throw bricks at everyone who produces music relative to it.

Why not?

It's music.
This is my opinion.

People throw their opinions at me too br0.

[Lalam24]

When it has to do with a completely different type of art, not music.  They're both far too different to compare in any format.

What the forget.
This is music isn't it?

Look, it's my opinion that it sounds incredibly familiar to 90% of the techno on newgrounds.
It's generic, and bland.

My opinion.

Your defense is just too close minded, that's all.  I realise that it's your opinion, but throwing in "it sounds like alot of techno on newgrounds" is very bleak.

How is it very bleak?
If you browse through the newgrounds techno / etc section you will find a lot of synth sounding stuff like this.

[Lalam24]

Not really, they all have completely unique toons.

Well there you go.
My opinion is that this sounds like a lot of what I've heard on there.
Pretty much every other alternative techno I've heard sounds like this.

[Lalam24]

Sound's not based off of opinion, bro.

Synthesizers have a very broad range of sound but there are certain formulas that work better than others for different genres. But I wouldn't go outright and disagree with you because I did fall into some cliches.
P.S. Techno is not an umbrella term.

Sorry, I don't know the exact term for this kind of music.
But, I wasn't lying when I said I've heard a lot like this before.

whether or not the music is good?
LOLOLOLLLLLLLLLL
