I took that as a compliment.

I like where you are going as you make more tracks...but one thing I haven't noticed come into play much in your tracks is the shaping and texturizing of your sounds. Right now it seems you are relying a bit too much on slowly building the tracks, using repeating loops and added elements to show a sense of movement. I saw in "reindeer" you were changing the eq on the saw synth, that is good, keep that up. My suggestion to make your tracks a bit more impressive is that you start to vary your dynamics more and 'grit' up your synths.
Black then White are all I see in my infancy...Red and Yellow then came to me, reachin' out to me, lets me see...

Thanks Vord, I like comments like this.
On how to improve more musically.
Not just "Be more like BoC"
I love BoC, but I think their sound is sacred, and that people shouldn't try to replicate it, 'cause then it loses all the awesomeness.
Not saying that they aren't bad. I mean, people saying I should be more like BoC is a compliment, it's like saying "Reach for the stars! You can do it!"
It's just that I don't want to go that way. >_>

i really like stilton, personally i would have played about with the structure of the song, it builds up...and up...and i'm waiting for something to happen, even if its some simple drums to support the melody. i also like the bass synth in the background, but would personally raise it slightly. the ending of the song has the right idea, but the notes become a bit muddled causing the piano to sound a bit out of tune.
nae tschun is another track i enjoy, the drums work well with it, but it's missing this something that would support the drive and flow of the track.
art of destruction reminds me of some noise-core type band i once played in, consisting of manipulating the sounds of cheap keyboards through huge number of pedals! its good!
oh, and reindeer has a great ending to it!
anyways, i hope you take this as positive criticism! you're progressing nicely! x

"Over my dead body" - The pallet is too harsh for me so I couldn't listen to it.
"Dino" - Not a bad track at all but I think you overdid the reverb a bit.
"Stilton" - Very nice, I'm a sucker for any thing pianoey.
"Nae Tschun" - Love the rhythm, this is probably my favourite track.
"Art of deconstruction" - Again, sonically just too harsh for my taste.
"Reindeer" - I like this too, I would have liked the Apache sample to come back in towards the end.
