One big sugestion for you sayer, granted I can't really speak cause I have
$1500 work of gear sitting here unpluged and I've yet to make one song. But
I see the same thing wrong with your tracks that I see with a lot of others.
The patches. Mabye you have limited gear, but I don't think that is the
case. The melodies and the structures of the songs are pretty good, but a
lot of the actualy sounds sound like presets. I'd tweak with the knobs a
little. It's amazing what an original sound will do for the popularity of a
song.

sorry...i was a little bit to hard to you. that´s okay if it´s a older
track. and doesn´t sound so good. i know this personally,too...

ohhh...sorry again. i have the same problem selecting genres in our own
songs...but i was just wondering that you are the 2nd quite succesful artist
titleing a song as GOA, that it is in fact not. that´s because i listening
in
the past year much of these goa / psytrance projects ( prana,man with no
name, x-dream,electric universe, tarsis , j.reactor, b.planet corp...and so
on..) and there are some realy cool tracks...
the 2nd. artist who titles a song as goa that not was it, was 303
infinity. he admitted it and will rename it into "melodic trance". PS: who
is
spicelab???
