People please download this wonderful music. I`ll leave an in depth review really soon.

Shellshaka is a genius.

MP3 version of the updated album for Shellshaka. 

Thanks Steve mate. Yeah I`m gonna be back on the music scene soon, I can feel the creativity starting to burst it`s way out. I`m gonna be using Ableton for the next wave of tracks too.

Speaking of Ableton, I lost everything on my laptop a few weeks ago, including Ableton and FM8, I thought they`d gone forever, I shit myself. Luckily though, Steve (aka The Lyricist) had a copy of both Ableton and FM8 and he burned them to disc for me so I`ve got them again now!  



(PS. JJJJJJJJJJJCCCCCCCCCCCCWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! Can you delete the other topic pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaase?)  

Woah, very dark synths, I love it already. Got a Massive Attack vibe going on, loving the little glitch effects. This just drips atmosphere, is this your first Ableton tune?

Amazing stuff from Shellshaka again, you`re another rising star my friend.

A really cool track here NAN, some great melody work, nice, crisp production, good vocal work too. I love the sample at the beginning of the track, suits it perfectly.

Nice work.

Can`t wait to see this, James Cameron`s a beast when it comes to action films. I thought he was directing Alien 5 too, but I think it`s Ridley Scott. That`ll be awsome as well.

This is a compilation of songs taken from each of my albums and mini albums, it also includes "Beautiful Death" which didn`t feature on any of my previous albums.

I couldn`t quite fit everything I wanted on the compilation as it would have exceeded 80 mins otherwise, but it`ll do.

To be honest I can`t even remember when or why I decided on DarkBliss, I must have been "drunk" when I settled on it.

I quite like it now although I`m considering going by a different name when I finally get started on Ableton.

Gorgeous start, very dreamy with a hint of sci-fi, suits the Youtube image perfectly.

Shell this is pure beauty, a gorgeous, hypnotic piece and in my opinion you rival the likes of Vangelis with your musical talent.

You are a master.

Great stuff again Dutch, your work reminds me a lot of The Avalanches stuff.

You`ve truly mastered the art of sampling, an even bigger feat when you consider the sampling limitations of Music 2000.

Brilliant.

A nice, chilled out vibe to this, really crisp production values, lovely little melodies that fit in perfectly with the sci-fi feel to this track, it kinda reminds me of the likes of Aphex Twin and Orbital for sure.

I love the part around the 5 minute mark where the beat kicks in, I wasn`t expecting that! 

Brilliant work mate.

Shell this track is, to be put as plain and simple as possible, absolutely beautiful. You put so much heart and soul into your music it almost makes me cry.

You are an exceptional composer my friend, gorgeous stuff.

This has the FTS mark all over it, very avant garde, experimental stuff, great use of sounds, I enjoyed the eratic piano chords in particular.

I agree with the previous comments too, this would be well suited to an RPG of some sort, I imagine some sort of steel mill area....that`s what I like about FTS music, I always envision the track.

Great stuff as always.

Congratulations Steve mate, you deserve all the success you get.   

Ah, I remember this one!

It`s an absoloutely beautiful track Pillage, one of my favourites from you, the breakdown is just amazing.

Real thought provoking stuff mate and really dancable at the same time, just gorgeous.

Nice to see you create a totally original song mate. I like it at about 1.40 in when the beat changes, nice use of sounds throughout, you`re making nice progress, just stick at it.

Well done dude.

I`ve just finished re-uploading 90% of my tracks because the links were broken and in the process stumbled across some tracks that I either would like deleting or moving to a different section. So if I name the tracks here and what it is I`d like doing with them, can Mr JCW or you Mods sort them out for me?

Cheers in advance!

Thank you!

I completely agree with Quade and his TIMGUL awards idea and yeah, tune of the month sounds cool too.

Well I`ve listened to the first part of the album Shellshaka and I must say I`m very impressed.

There`s such a deep quality to what I`ve heard so far, I can tell you put your heart into your creations. Depressurizzazione In Corso is probably my favourite track, it`s just amazing mate.

I`ll get round to listening to the second part over the next few days, once again, excellent stuff.

Awsome stuff again Quade, I really don`t know what to say other than excellent, superb, great etc.

This just sounds so pro now mate, the overall production values are amazing, lovely little sample of The Eurythmics too! Love the part round about the 4 min mark when the bass line changes and it builds back up, simply awsome.
Pillage is right, the little 4 bar bass line just before each section is a stroke of genius.

Superb stuff Steve, Ableton is certainly working out for you mate. I reckon you`re definitely good enough to have your stuff played in major clubs now.

Superb.
