At last i share my music with my colleagues...

This instrumental is actually the middle of a 'Rock Concerto' called "New Metal World" that i came up with about 1988. I finally was able to then buy a Korg M1, a sequencer's dream machine, and produced this song on it in 1991, with my vband Aeon. The title came from a line from the vocals of the first movement (long before "No Oil for Blood" became a catchphrase of the looney left). "New Metal World" was an apocalyptic vision of our evolution into self-dehumanization, to the point where our president one day will be an automaton (unbeknownst to the citizens). This piece depicts at first his construction (the long ambient intro of the song), and his eventual take-over (the technorock of the main song).

Feel free to enjoy it, critique it, just don't use it for anything commercial or pornographic, and i'll be happy to share my intellectual property with you other intellects. This is my usual genre nowadays (i had been composing classical works for many years before i got into sequencing and tracking), so you will see many of this type upcoming in the future.

If you'd like to know more, you have but to ask.

Nice. First I didn't found much self-dehumanization while the second part strictly was following classical harmonics.
But the synth-solo corrected this.

[Harbinger]

Yeah, but c'mon, Sammy, how did it make you FEEL?  Yours is one of the few opinions i respect, as you seem to have as many years in music as i. Lay it on me!!

I like it when being fondled under the chin, so :

I started feeling in a scene of the movie 'Brazil' by Terry Gilliam.
The buildup to the drums-introduction is ok, but then it kind of stays on a flat level from 1:30 to 3:42,
where the solo starts. The break at 2:41 could have been used more than once.

I don't agree about the 'many years'.
I think it's valid to respect the opinion of a child, who hears the song for the first time, as well.

Well, in my defense, it's music to dance to, but within your own mind...


Besides, i always thought you were 'older'...i'm probably the victim of your previous avatar, the one with the 50-something ponytailed art-rocker at his electronic studio. That's NOT you?

[Sam_Zen]

It was a pic from a few years ago indeed.
But I still can detect 'dance-potential', although I wouldn't exercise it myself.
