Oh, really? Weird.

How bad is it?


Well it's playing in the player thing in the top right-hand corner on the album page.  It's not awful but it's off-putting.

You need to either clip the end of the track earlier or somehow get the album to flow better between tracks.

Do you get the "Page Not Found" message?

If so, I need to fix that.


The link in the your sig works fine but the one you messaged me on Facebook didn't... or it didn't earlier, haven't checked since.

Bah. It shouldn't be doing that.

Not sure why either... I used the same tracks.

I fixed that. The link in Facebook didn't fully linkify everything it needed to.

Did you actually download them from last.fm or are you just using the radio? That may be why, and I'm not sure if I can change that.

The Radio.

I guess I should have downloaded them and put them into WinAMP.

I'll finish the album later, my father's put on something I like on the stereo. LOL

Initial impressions:

I like the atmosphere.

However, I'm not sure about your keyboard sound and you really need a recording studio or some outside help on the recording side.  I'll see how it sounds in WinAMP later though, 'cause I have different settings on there which enhance the sound.

I also need to listen to it more loudly, 'cause I was in the lounge with the family at the time.  I'll give it an intense listen later with the volume up louder.

It could maybe do with some oomph...

Yeah, I fixed the link on Facebook too, so whether you download it from last.fm or the website, it should work. Let me know.

I do agree that the dynamics in the debut are interesting and not direct, but they weren't supposed to be--I didn't want to go with that kind of sound with the concepts in mind. Ex Anima expands upon that better and I think my skills as a composer have gotten much better, so I definitely prefer the followup (which I think fixes any problems of the first one nicely).

Thanks for the remarks, James! Big smile

I'll have fuller remarks upon hearing the whole album.  I've only heard the first 5 tracks or so.

Alright, sounds good to me.

I should be on and off all day; I'll just be around the house.

Not much in the form of criticism or direct commentary, just some overall impressions.

I should get a good influx soon though. And then there's eventual reviews... can't wait to read those. LOL

Yeah... it seems alot of people are downloading that file at the moment and the server also hosts some other files, so the bandwith is being taken up.

Best advice is to wait it out if you're already into the download or try it again later when less people are trying to take from it at once if you only have a very short time at the moment.

It is.  It's on 1.6 MBs and going at 6.4 kB/s.

But I'm on Broadband and have all the time in the world, so I can wait.

If you don't want to bother with that though...

I also have the files downloadable from last.fm and sharebee.

Ouch, really? Shocked

I tested it out last night and it was going 75 kB/s.

Woah. LOL

Alright. I've edited my band's front page to include all 3 methods of download. Smile
