Here's a nice samwich for you B... This song offends Churchill fans somewhere, and is enjoyable to beat lovers everywhere.... I can't speak for everyone...but I think combining history with modern beats and arrangements is a sweet contrast. There's alot of kewl stuff like this here on mac j's. Lot's of kewl monter film samples and there's another guy mixing alot of Will S. Burroughs to music. Check 'em out for other examples of where people are taking this lately. I know I loved how Pink Floyd mixed alot of clips from British WWII stuff into the Wall and so forth.. It's a natural evolution to take the idea to the electronic pump house dub and mix it up in a pot of famous voices and moments. When you combine the two it adds familiarlarity to the sounds and makes immediately interesting. I think you could work on your own styles more too, so that your talent pours out of the song more, not just the gimmick of some crusty old due's voice tracks. You didn't really 'make it your own' as well as I've heard others do with material like this...so that's where I see room for improvements. Plus Deputy Doofy's observations were good for you to note. You'll get more of the comments if you give what you wanna get....moving forward. I don't hold it against you, but the Rated G jammers have their agendas. You'll need to play the game if you want some time on the field. Check out my latest song called Five Pound Samwitch

kinda cool I personally don't care for this combination of Winston Churchill with this electronica/dance music, but at least you did spend time putting it together. I like the musical sections without the voice snippets, actually. You've got some good percussion grooves going. I'd like to hear you do another tune with just music. Definitely potential there. As to wanting feedback for your songs, I agree with deputydoofy and UncleSamwich. You definitely need to participate more in this site before you can reasonably expect people to do the same for you. Start listening to songs in your favorite genres, vote and MAKE COMMENTS! Everybody who's got a set of ears to hear with are qualified. And you'll definitely learn something about how to improve your own tunes by listening to others' work. Best of luck with all that! Check out my latest song called EPONYM

Not enough for a vote... I'll make some quick comments, but generall if you're looking for votes we need to see more about the song like what software you used, is it all loops or did you play instruments... what instruments used... etc. These are necessary to know how to vote. Factory loops for the most part come pre-produced and sound good out of the box. If you played a guitar part, your skill is a factor as well as how you produced your tone... see how this works? Anyway, from my first listen it's a competent techno arrangement with some nice historical passages. But it needs something to generate some interest towards the end of the tune... it was starting to feel too repetive. Check out my latest song called Waiting for the Other

Not enough for a vote... Cheers. You maybe right, so I've updated the song info. As you can see: it was made primarily in Garageband, though I used some synths from Cubase; no loops except for a chopped firefighter rythym courtesy of www.drumnbass.be Oh and by the way, If you're interested, its not "techno", its drum and bass - which, though it shares some roots and similariities, is quite a different and self contained genre. Shame it isn't acknowledged in the genre list. --- "keep it foolish" Check out my latest song called Breeze

Not enough for a vote... Oh yeah, and I would very much agree about the song being too repetitive: was looking for a final twist in the tail, but I didn't want to detract from any dance floor appeal it might have. --- "keep it foolish" Check out my latest song called Breeze

Not enough for a vote... My apologies about the misused "techno" genre. I was generalizing. Check out my latest song called Waiting for the Other
