Just to be clear I have verified that Will's short snippet which he 
converted to mp3 just to be sure is what I have presented.

BTW, Bengt comment was that it sounded like a heartbeat through a 
stethoscope. I will admit that I took him literally and didn't get the 
reference to an ultrasound. You are the first person to mention 
ultrasound. I get that reference. That's why I am asking what people out 
there would do to make it sound cleaner.

If I ignore the negative comments and attempt to extract some kind of 
consensus from the responses on the list so far then I would have to say 
that.

1: No one has bothered to tweak the levels of the raw material I have 
presented to try to get it to sound cleaner and more musical.

2: The soundscape is overwhelmingly complex for most people to recognise 
a Tech House rhythm/bassline

3: The sound that has been presented is more industrial than musical

4: Everyone who has responded here thinks I am mad describing the track 
as music. Even worse is that I attempted to reference it to a specific 
genre of dance music.


Now if that is all that people have to offer and there is no actual 
technical feedback that anyone can be bothered with then I will just 
have to go with what I can achieve on my sound system for this track. 
Perhaps my next track will fare better...

BTW, I have 10 of them so I hope at least one of them will get a 
positive response...
