Sleeper Cell

I released a demo reel of some work I've been accumulating. Everything except one song was done in 2007, three not previously released. I thought there may be some interest here because three of these songs are to be featured in Residual Decay; The Premonition, Serene Apprehension, and Mnemonic Barrier (featured in last demo).
Download, discuss, enjoy

I've heard all these right? If they are ones I am thinking of they're pretty awesome. Seriously dudes, you guys hear this and you're going to feel so good about yourself that you're going to want to go out and have sexual intercourse.

Probably not Serene Apprehension. I buried that until I felt convinced it was appropriate.

btw- if for any odd reason the host stops working again, songs can be streamed and individually dl here.

I never knew it was possible to headbang to techno until I listened to Cerebranoxia
Nice demo real

Nice stuff zYnthetic

Don't know much about that kind of music, but few of those pieces really apply to me

Definitely worth the 56mb.

All tracks are very good and ''fresh'', but Nanoteck sticks out IMHO, its outclasses all other tracks by far.
Exactely the music I would put into Residual Decay, great job, feels like the music I would excpect in a high quality sci-fi action/horror movie.

Just one question, why is there so much difference in bit rate in all the music tracks?
As example Serene App. has 51 kbs and Nanotek is 193 kbs. Huge difference!

Was encoded w/ VBR.
VBR can encode at the same quality as CBR but it dynamically adjusts the bitrate depending on the sounds being produced. Higher frequencies will cause the bitrate to increase and the absence of them will cause it to decrease. A VBR and CBR encoded at the same bitrate will sound the same but the filesize of the VBR version will be smaller to a degree related to the sounds being encoded.

That first track was amazing! Well done.

Yeah it's pretty cool stuff, but I still prefer Forlorn, Confrontation and the "It Has To End Some Day" album (assuming you're the author of it)

I was going to listen to the full album during the weekend but then I washed my MP3 player and... well, it doesn't work anymore, so I'll post my comments later.

Testing some quality control before I have real products to sell.
Looks ok imo

label burn w/ LaCie for those interested w/ linux. Strangely I can't seem to find any free lightscribe sw for Windows except for a text only labeler.

Looks good
