Recordings are a completely different ball game, where you can't Take my hat off to Select Start for their work since live And although I have great love forĬomputer-bred pieces and admiration for their authors, I must Not a ReMix done on a computer or using synthesizers, this is anĪctual band playing live. That's what all the small imperfections remind me of : this is Be sure to check out more of their work at ― djpretzel Regardless, it's great to see live musicians putting together larger ensembles like SS and producing organic, flowing tracks like this YM and Frog would both be happy, I'd bet. Oji writes, the salient shortcoming here, if anything, is the piece's short length I'm the last person to call for arbitrary padding, but I think it would have been relatively straightforward to add some 'stuff' in the same line and keep things substantive at the same time.
