S. A. Fred - Oblique

Hi chaps, Thought I'd upload some more of my recent batch of tracks produced over the past year whilst in Germany. This one is a heavy dose of synth textures and IDM inspired percussion; very big spacious sounds and as per usual from myself, very "soundscapey". One of my colleagues that heard this described it as sounding like a soundtrack to "Mirror's Edge", which actually felt quite apt. Here are the links: Stream - Download
Hope you enjoy the track 
Cheers, Pete

Hi Roland, Yep I'm good, very busy as always... and likely to get busier as I will be a Dad anytime in the next few weeks! My wife Deb's is 36 weeks pregnant, so I'm a bit on pins! It'll be a little S. A. Fred-ette  Hope all is good with you, I'll give your latest a blast, along with Sonic's latest 
Cheers, Pete

Hey Pete, although Oblique imho is not your best track, I still really like it; excellent tune, maybe a bit short...

Cheers Roland, and thanks for giving it a blast. This one is different stylistically from quite a lot of the ones that followed it... namely all those encounter tracks. I did this in Logic one night and got sucked into the uber electro textures 
Cheers, Pete

Am I hearing some old Aphex Twin influence here?
It's a nice roller and would be perfect for some Earth clouds.

Thanks for the listen Sub', the Aphex Twin influence was subconcious I think, but probably was there for sure, along with a load of other IDM artists that I like 
And yes there is another tune up from me that I didn't announce, its here:
Another kind of world

Cheers, Pete

Another Kind of World is wonderfully airy and the skittering beat is ace. Oblique starts almost dubsteppish, only without all the... awfulness, I suppose. Synths are very 90s sounding, nice stuff.
Consistent quality as always
Drug use for children has for many an education and with obvious alarm to both parents on the increase almost yearly.
