Ok, people..
This is a little preview for all of you who haven't heard any music from me in a long time (or ever). Those of you who have heard my old music will surely be surprised.
It's my first attempt to make chillout/triphop (or whatever you would call this, I don't know).
Download here
I will try to add more jazzed-up elements in the final version, but please give me some feedback and/or general comments on this one.
Thanks in advance! |

writing as I listen, my first impression is that I like it very much. I'm not too sure about the rhodes(?) you use in the beginning of the tune, actually playing throughout most of the song. At first I thought they somehow didn't fit, but later on the sunk right in, so I guess they're good anyway. I would hovever maybe have used something that sounded a bit brighter, they sound as if they're played in the end of a tunnel, minus the reverb. The ending is pretty odd, too abrupt IMO. I'd tone it down a bit and then maybe cut it like you did now. But the way it ends now, I'm left wondering if I have a complete or broken file at my hands. "Should there have been more, or was that all?" is what I ask myself.
Overall, I like the tune. Fit's right in on a chilled tracklist, has a sort of dark feeling. Like the beat, drives the tune one nicely. You've got good sence for details that add variation too. Nice work overall, be sure to send me the link once the complete version is available  |

My Goodness Myztique! Amazingly beautiful song! The thin pad that is weaven through the rhodes and the main melody is just plain great. In contrast to Sunbuster, I liked this song from the very beginning. I'm looking forward very much to a final version of this, or even a complete album, because this makes me think both of Plaid as of Saine  Consider listening Plaid's 'restproof clockwork' or Bonobo's 'animal magic' for some very nice examples of rather similar music. This is just very good to listen to. *shivers*.

I accually agree a bit with you about the rhodes. But these where the best samples I could find for the moment. If you know some place to find better ones, please let me know. If not, I will just try to do some equalizing on these ones to fit in better.
If you read carefully, you'll see that this is only a preview and I will probably keep on working on this piece for a couple of more minutes or so. But thanks for the feedback both Sunbuster and Inge! |

Sorry, don't have any good rhodes samples myself. But like Inge said, Saine might be a good person to contact about rhodes. |

I dunno what rhodes are but I like all those echoed effy-thingies, first introduced at 0:09.
Very nice indeed. |

Hi,
I think you should completeley remove the rhodes.
Compared with the professional beats and effects it sounds a bit "cheap" to me.
Or Maybe you could replace the sample with one from Propellerheadīs Reason (the program comes with an multisample for rhodes MKI and II).

Funny story... the rhodes I used in this one is accually the RhodesMKII, which I bounced from the Reason Soundbank. I applied some tremolo and vibrato to it and tried to make it sound as jazzy as possible, but it just won't do. Well, I've contacted Saine about it now and got a few tips, so I guess I have some work in front of me now. Have to keep looking for jazz-elements
Thanks for the feedback though. |

You know what kind of rhodes would sound great? That one that's playing in Music Gets The Best Of Me by Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
I don't know what kind of rhodes it is, but it's kind of like a bell rhodes or something. |

Place a cold beer in your hand, sit down in a comfortable chair/sofa, put on some downtempo track and just relax and enjoy the music... that's chillout

Hehe, as long as I'm on this crappy modem the source-file stays where it is 
And even if I wasn't, I'd probably not share it anyway, since this is going on me and TOffe's upcoming trip-hop album... |

Adding a HEAVY VERSION as a bonustrack would give ya more money, I think
The source file is big? Well, then send me just notes(w/o samples) by email, I'll inform ya when it's finished and nuts!
Anyway, why do you keep denying? |
