Hi All,
We'd just like to share the songs on our demo album.
It's free to download for those who dig it.
Our songs were made totally through home recording / online collaboration.
Please let us know your comments so that we can further improve our music.
Thanks!
You can listen to our songs at our web page (with lyrics)...
http://tentomidnight.webs.com/
There are 10 songs there.
-
Ganda ng mga songs nio sir... Napakinggan ko yung Don't fall..
-
Ganda ng mga songs nio sir... Napakinggan ko yung Don't fall..
Uy thanks, si matanglawin may sulat ng don't fall.
Papagandahin pa namin yung pagkakarecord nun, medyo kulang pa sa dating.
Salamat sa pakikinig.
-
ok ah, relaxing... :-)
-
ok ah, relaxing... :-)
thanks man,
our songs are mostly about hang ups kaya ganun yung mood...

Next song that we'll be arranging is entitled 'Between the Lines'.
You can listen to the song through this link...

Here's my unbiased review. Forget my long-standing feud with Mang Resty.
The new song put me to sleep. I thought I was listening to an all-star superduo with a deestrogenized Nelson Del Castillo and Paolo Santos na nakatakip ang mukha, tapon ang ulo, kainin na lang ang gitara. Perhaps Charice "Sunshine Corazon" Pampamco or someone could make it a huge hit, then they can give it to the Glee cast, with Kurt singing lead vocals. Not Cobain, mind you! Kurt! Not a Gleek? Neither am I, but my ex keeps blabbing about it, so I know me some Glee shiet. Going back. It's not my cup of tea, really. It's sleepy. Where's the metal, Restituto? I was expecting something towards the end, like a Kerry King-esque solo, or a guttural growl a la J.R. Hayes of Pig Destroyer. But nooooooo, the song bored me so much that I want to get myself banned again from these forums.
But as Chris Daughtry said, be careful what you wish for. Even I think Daughtry would do a better job on this song, with his growly Veddery vocals that are also a better fit for such a song.
That's my unbiased review, Sir Poposplanet and Mang Resty. Guess I'm too much of a metalhead to like this stuff.

Well... thanks for listening. I appreciate that you took the time to write an honest review.
I understand your sentiments. I myself listen to a wide range of genre, and sometimes when I listen to our songs, I feel sleepy too. We'd probably bore most metal heads out of their senses, but that's just us.

The "boring songs" get me laid, so I'm not complaining...

ok sya pero nakaka-anyok.

The "boring songs" get me laid, so I'm not complaining...
Hahaha!!!
I'm a huge fan of Ten to Midnight. They're not just good songs/wordsmiths but they are also a bunch o' great people.
I really dig "Pasintabi", "Ayoko na Sana", "Middle Way", "Kung Pwede Lang", "Sa Bawat Sandali".
I covered "Kung Pwede Lang" and "Sa Bawat Sandali" in front of my female officemate na medyo type ko last week. Halos mahulog daw a panty nya at ampogi na daw ng tingin nya sa akin after parking my acoustic guitar sa stand nya. Hehehe. Sorry off-topic.
Cheers to this band and kudos sa upcoming album. :)

Thanks, man! The thing is, though I may have said that in jest, it's not really too far from the truth. Chicks dig the songs (I can't really say the same thing about my voice, but, that would be TOO telling).

Listen to April's fool and Kung Pwede Lang. Intro pa lang hooked ka na. :-D

Pictures, please. Send them to my email addy.

I want to see physical proof of this. Because if boring songs get you laid, perhaps I should bust out some Paolo Santos chops and voila, the ladies will be all over me, and no more Mr. Single Forum Cop.
Forum cops, unofficial as they may be, don't deserve to be single for long.

Thanks for listening.

pero gusto ko yung "Ayoko na Sana" sarap gitarahin weeeee

do you have another download site besides soundclick?

hey, the songs are good actually. something i can listen to when im with a girl. god mood music.
-*-
as for the fast songs.... naaahhh ... i did my time with that playing everything in 'nile and krisiun speeds' ... and here's what i have to show for:
1.) drunk metalheads saying how good you are.
2.) critics saying you are only fast and nothing else
3.) metalheads NOT BUYING your CD's
4.) the same metalheads sitting down on your next 5 shows - 'til your band breaks up.
5.) metalheads debating whether your album is real metal or poser metal just because you dont wear tight black pants.
6.) you play 3 song gigs that dont give you squat (for the most part)
7.) you get "cred" ... which doesnt translate to anything really.
in other words ... getting laid and having chick fans (they have more disposable income and are rabidly supportive) beat those.
so whatever you are doing guys, i want in on it! *lol*

Sa SoundClick namin, naka-enable ang download. Punta ka lang sa http://www.soundclick.com/x2m , tapos pag click mo dun sa 'full' (sa tabi ng title ng song) may option to download. Yun nga lang... di ko sure... pero dapat yata eh soundclick member ka din, at naka-log in ka sa soundclick para madownload.
Pag natapos na namin mga kanta, gagawa kami ng direct download.
Thanks, man. :)

And still no pictures.
Metal gets the ladiezzz in bed and gives the guy satisfaction when it's over. X2M sends the ladies to sleep leaving the poor guy with a hardon.
Just my honest opinion of the music.

Thanks for sharing your opinion...
Pero tingin ko nasa diskarte pa rin ang determining factor kung makakascore o hindi, music just helps set the mood. If you want to set romantic mood with metal, it's up to you.

Siguro pag dumating yung panahon na makakuha kami ng permanenteng mga kabanda at mga live gig ay medyo magkakabuhay ng konti yung tugtugan. Sa ngayon, kase mas madalas na nagaareglo lang kami sa tapat ng PC imbes na tumugtog ng live. Isa rin yun sa dahilan kung bakit walang gaanong dynamics at sync ang mga instrumento. Mahirap din kase tutukan ang pagbabanda dahil malaking oras rin at pera ang kailangang ilaan dito para mapaganda ang tunog. Pero mabagal man ang pagusad namin ay tuloy tuloy pa rin sa pag gawa ng kanta kahit papaano.
Maraming salamt sa pakikinig. :D

Salamat Marvs. At salamat din sa paglagay ng guitar sa df, nabuo yung kanta dahil sa fills mo. Thx thx.
Alternative pala tong X2M para kasing pang metal/screamo/hard rock yung band name ninyo hehe. Just my opinion hehe no pun intended. :-D
I just heard "Ayoko na Sana", it's sounds like Spongecola in their college years (the first time I heard "Jeepney" back when I was in High School). :-D
Salamat sa pakikinig. Well, more on love songs kase kami (easy listening, pop, OPM manila sound) nagkataon lang na may pagka-alternative yung ibang kanta, lalo na yung Don't Fall (http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9598262). Sabi nga ng iba nakaka-antok daw ibang songs, ambabagal kase. Paborito namin mga lumang banda tulad ng Hotdog, VST & the likes...
Thanks ulit.

Oo nga e. Akala ko naban na ang account na ito but apparently not. Kaya nagbabagong buhay na ako dito sa PM, as seen in my new signature.
Fans and detractors? Count me as a fan. Let me work on my growling first, I'd like to see how a growled-out version of April's Fool can get a girl named April in bed. :mrgreen:

It's around 4K when I got it at Audiophile a few years back and is actually great for home recording. We won't try to pass off our recordings as "professional," but, overall, the quality is between home recording and professional recording.

I'm feeling honest today.
Feedback on Alinlangan.
About the song and perfromance:
- great lyrics. very honest performance.
About recording:
- guitars are a bit too upfront and dry. could use a little warmth.
- some noise here and there (clicks and pops). I'll send you the exact spots soon.
- a few sloppy parts. one take lang ba tong gitara?
- vocals can be a bit harsh. some notes are flat. backing vocals feel un-natural, nakakagulat nung pumasok.
- could you remove the count in before the song?
- overall the recording sounds raw.
Recommendations:
- invest on better mics, don't try to fix everything through mixing.
or
- instead of doing everything by yourself, save the money you spend on gear and record in a studio(pili ka nga lang ng ok na recording studio).
that way you can focus on the songwriting/arrangement/performance <- I'm not saying that you guys are bad at songwriting/arrangement/performance, you two make great songs, but...
... it's time to upgrade the recording!
Of course if you're happy with the song, and if you're happy with what you've accomplished, then everything's fine and just disregard everything I said.
I personally don't ask for feedback anymore because who the hell is anyone to tell me what's good to my ears, right (especially if I was the one who slaved over everything)? They can take their feedback and apply it to themselves or better yet, they can shove it up their a$$.
BTW I'll try to drop by on Friday sa Route 196

Galing mo ah... kungang-kuha...
...nadama mo mga frustrations ko sa likod ng recording.
Ang totoo nyan, hindi ko talaga mairecord ng maganda 'to. Meron akong hinahabol na tunog ng gitara na di ko magawa. Ang tagal ko nagtitimpla ng effects... ala talaga... hindi kaya...
...kaya ayun, bigo.

Something to look forward to... never been to a recording studio.

I appreciate feedback mainly because of my curiosity in knowing the song's impact to listeners...
...mayroong natutuwa, may nabu-bwiset, may nagagalit, tapos, merong... wala-lang...
After all, music is meant to affect emotion.
Specially appreciated syempre kung feedback na galing sa'yo, kase, ikaw...
...aside from hearing the song in it's entirety, you also listen to the instrumentation & recording quality.
Too bad natapatan ng 'window-of-honesty' mo yung one-of-the-weaker recordings namin...
ang totoo nyan... the last song that I spent ridiculously large amount of hours on... was actually your song....
'that old feeling' http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=7158178 (http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=7158178)
Ang tagal ko nagbabad dyan, day in day out...
yan yung most recent na pinagkaabalahan ko eh...
Although yung interpretation namin... I feel that it's far from the actual emotion that the song embodies... I see it more like...
looking at it from a different perspective.
'di pa tapos, voice draft pa lang yan, 'di pa swak yung ibang melody, tinesting lang ni x... 1 run recording...

Yeah, the frustration behind recording, I know all too well. I've tried the DIY route - got frustrated, took the recording studio route, still got frustrated, went back to the DIY route, and well, I'm just about ready to quit.
You're right, music is meant to affect emotion and if we are merely to focus on that, then the recording quality will not matter as much since all we have to do is achieve a minimum standard (words and melody are clear, volume is not too loud, noise at an acceptable level).
Unfortunately, it's not just that. It's about reinforcement. That's what drives us. Because we created something that we believe is good and we need that thought to be reinforced. So we keep trying to come up with better writing, better recordings, better everything or at least what we think is better... thinking that this will help us get more people to appreciate our songs. But no matter what we do, the truth is, this appreciation, this reinforcement, cannot be achieved through the technical aspects. Like all other things, people like things that they can associate with. And no matter how beautifully you've written your lyrics, how great the arrangement, or how perfectly you've recorded/mixed it, if it's not something that your listener can associate with beyond a lyrical level, then it's all for nothing.
BTT:
I think you nailed the emotions on that old feeling.

I've done and have relative experience in studio recording, and the only difference where I'm concerned is the where. Personally, I'd rather do home recording where I can make my own corrections at my own time and not be pressured to finish a track when I don't feel like it. Sure, there are limitations, but the listeners won't really know that. In fact, those limitations actually allow me, personally, to do more and do better because I'm aware of the limitations.

To some, the recording actually sounds good (as opposed to good enough).

Slow but sure. If we were backed by a record producer, we won't have these technical matters to deal with, but, I assure you, our intrinsic quality will suffer. I'd rather have an honest home recording than a forced studio recording.

Hopefully, we can hammer it down a bit further...

I'm not referring to your recording of Alinlangan but recording music in general

I-inom na natin 'to.
Our frustrations have different roots, they all breach out but still intertwine.
I don't know if you've come across it, but X wrote down an essay entitled 'Writing for myself'... bago pa ako sa Philmusic when I read it... but somehow it worded out the my sentiments about songwriting and all. Appreciation is the least of my concerns. I make & create because I can't help myself. Sometimes an expression just wants to come out, & several excruciating hours later, I'll have a listenable draft. Even though I post it here & there, I don't really expect anyone else to listen to it, & more-so, actually 'like' it, but in the rare cases that someone actually listens & gives feed back, be it good or bad... with all honesty, I really do appreciate whatever comments they feed in.
Recording process, the way I view it, is a marriage between skill & art. There are stuff that needs to be learned; but there are also things that can't be taught. I don't want to concern myself with the technical aspect anymore because it always equates to $. That's probably the reason why I don't 'reinforce' that much.
In our age of Lady Gaga & Girls Gen, my daughter would probably grow up saying the same thing other forum members here say... "buti pa no'ng panahon natin, maganda music"... it's probably because people tend to associate with the music that they grew up with.
I grew up with OLD songs that I still appreciate up until now, I'm still growing, but this time, it's along with our songs... & I'm really happy that I get to interact with SWPH family.
It's OK to get frustrated at times but not to dwell on it to much.
After all, music should be our outlet not our source of frustration. :D

So was I.
When I said reinforcement, I wasn't referring to record producers.
Unfortunately, there are no other comparative measures with home recording. I can always content myself when people do react positively to our home recordings when they do find out they are as such. Point is, most listeners, even some musicians, don't know the difference between a well-recorded "clean" DIY and a clean studio recording.
So, without any other reference points, we use our old recordings as basis. We're only as good as our last song, after all.

They do. Without those frustrations, though, we can't be objective when we have to.

I believe, that's still the reason why I write, still.

Reinforcement comes in many forms.

Case-to-case. My eldest daughter seem to like the classics more than I do. You and I though, seem to hit the same "chords" when it comes to appreciating and writing music.
It's OK to get frustrated at times but not to dwell on it to much.
After all, music should be our outlet not our source of frustration. :D
True that! It's when I stopped being frustrated making music that I actually began writing good music.

Good for you. I used to say that too.
But what really irks me is when I hear other musicians/songwriters say that they are all about expressing themselves but complain that nobody listens to their music because the only thing that people listen to are Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga songs. If they are just about expressing themselves, then they shouldn't complain. Their reward is in the expression and not the reception.
To further explain, I have this very simple spectrum:
On one side of the spectrum we have all about Expression - this person is all about his art. There are many posers in this group.
On the other side is all about Reception - this person is all about what sells(this doesn't necessarily have to be money). I think this is the most honest group
In the middle we have those who balance Expression and Reception - this person balances his art and what sells. again still some posers here.
I don't think any one groups is better than the other. I just don't like it when one says that their on one side when they're really on the other.
As for me, I thought that I was on the first group. But I've realized that what's more important to me is the reception of my expressions. So I guess now I belong to the opposite end of the spectrum.

I believe there is an element of evolution in every musician. When I was too concerned about what other people think and what sells 2 decades ago, I wrote "bad" songs. When I stopped songwriting, i stopped being concerned about what other people think. But, the music actually kept coming, until one day, it became too "annoying" to ignore, i started "writing" again.
It's a process. No one songwriter can claim that everything one wrote were best, even in a personal perspective. There are always bad ones, good ones, better ones. But, personally, those that I wrote without regard of what others would think, are the better ones. Reception, therefore is a very distant secondary concern. If people like it, then it's affirmation. If they don't, I take note of it.
Of course, there's that inner voice in all of us that need to be recognized. It's all a matter of knowing if that voice is being objective or not. Doing that is like tip-toeing in the dark, knowing there are sharp pieces of glass everywhere.
