'Rocket Fuel' - Filthy Acid Techno Stomper

Caustic Song file (optional): 

Without (a lot of) Compressors and the Master Limiter this would probably be unlistenable, as it is I mastered/mixed after a couple of drinks so it's probably pushing red a little too much but...Strange Gravity (http://www.singlecellsoftware.com/user/2311) made a recent comment that tickled me:

'Your music is a circus lion. You know that lion can bite the tamer's head off, he's just got a chair and a whip. For some reason that lion never lunges at him. I want your lion to lunge at that dude and maul the crap out of him, just a little.'

This is my response laugh Not much going on, not a lot of subtlety...or variety but it's crunchy

 Ha ha! It wasn't supposed to

blush Ha ha! It wasn't supposed to be an angry tune - I just wanted it to kick ass, I smiled all the way through making it laugh

If it's angry it was definitely sub-conscious, I've had a shitty week at work but from 17:00 on Friday to now I've had a wonderful weekend - I saw two of my favourite artists playing live this week which always gives your spirits a bit of a lift smiley

it's pretty tiring to listen

it's pretty tiring to listen to - I think I overloaded the higher frequencies, and probably overused delay and reverb. On the flipside it does sound pretty big though. Some of my more recent tracks have been too quiet after mastering - this one is loud smiley

Banging track James, I feel

Banging track James, I feel this could easily be in the soundtrack for the WipEout series of games (I used to play the original and 2097 on PS1 sooo much when I was younger!)

I've seen it! Just a little

Wow 

Wow surprise

Okay, I really, really love what you've done, with a caveat or two wink The filtered, panning machine inputs you used on the BB's are amazing. I'm grabbing 'SG MACHINE SPINN' to take a look - LFO's to control a Pan Module?

'SG FEEDBACK' is way too high in the mix (imo) but sounds great turned down to about 0.25.

I don't even know how 'SG CHROMEPANTHER' has made my Bassline sound like that - it sounds like the TARDIS taking off at times!

All in all, I'm amazed, if you're okay with it I'd like to take a crack at a metamix, or at least a little light remixing/remastering and then hell yeah, we need to get it up onto SC to terrify some more folks.

What 'till your hear the 'as

What until your hear the 'as mangled by Strange Gravity' version - I want to make a few tweaks first but it's a doozy. I want to try understand the Modular patches he created for it before having a go at a 'metamix' smiley
