<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Has anyone on this list heard of 
<STRONG>Hallucinogen</STRONG> (the band, not the drug)?&nbsp; I had their 
first 
album a while back, and recently heard <STRONG>The Lone 
Derranger</STRONG>, 
their latest album.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>They do some fantastically intricate 
stuff, and 
I was wondering how much of it would have been loop/FX based, and how much 
of it 
would have been MIDI based?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Another thing; I have cubase and a MIDI 
keyboard, and every time I try to do some drum work, no matter how hard I 
try, 
it always sounds basic and repetitive (the best way I can describe it is 
an 
empty beat).&nbsp; Does anyone have tips on how to write good lively beats 
(especially jungle) with just Cubase and a MIDI keyboard?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The reason I ask these questions is:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>a) I like the way Hallucinogen use variations on a 
phrase to 
make it sound distinctly different every time it's repeated and would like 
to 
include that non-linearity in my loop work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>b)&nbsp; The thing that really f***s me off with trance 
music 
is the fact that in many cases, the beat doesn't change for the duration 
of an 
album.&nbsp; If I could use those trippy sounds with decent beats, I think 
I 
will have found loop music that REALLY does it for me!</FONT></DIV>
