Very nice work!
The bellmans speech is nice and clicky, I'd still try adding in a bit more of that though. More detail, variation and strange beeps and squeals in the beginning would make it perfect! That bassline is really good too, I'll probably play this out if I may...
The landing is a similar story, a few more incidental noises, more automation and some other minor stuff would go a long way. I love the vocal sample in this, I'm a bit of a sucker for that sort of stuff. I think I might like this one even more, they're both great tracks
Thanks, champ. Yeah, I really dug the vocal sample, too. I was hoping to use it without making it sound too cheesy, and I think I managed to do it.
Thanks for the feedback!

No, its brilliant not cheesy. A few more glitchy elements would make these tracks really perfect. You're definately one of the most talented producers on this board, not just in terms of quality, but consistency and output. I really hope to hear some of your tracks on dancefloors soon
/sucking up
But I really do mean that.

I really, really appreciate that. Thanks a lot for the kind words. It means a lot to me when people can listen and appreciate my tracks and mixes on their own merits.
Ry, I got your PM and I replied to you on MySpace. Feel free to respond, and thanks.

Two very cool and unique tracks.
The bassline introduced halfway through The Bellman's Speech was unexpected but quite effective (nice use of panning).

Not much to say other than these are both great. Arrangement is excellent - you pace the progression of each track brilliantly.
Love the synths, the quirky FX, the simple but effective percussion. Only part I wasn't keen on was the electro style bassline that comes in midway through the bellmans speech.
To me, these are very releaseable, sounded great. I'm well impressed and genuinely looking forward to hearing the other tracks for this album.
Well done

Thanks a lot, guys. Much appreciated.
I was wondering myself if they were releasable, and I did send them to a few labels. Got some positive response, but no signs, so I went ahead and posted them up.
The strange bassline that comes in on Bellman's Speech was something I was not sure if I liked or not... but it was definitely different/unexpected, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Update... third song posted. Much more of a deep/prog thing going on this time. Appreciate your comments.
