The hidden LMMS world 2

Recently I have found so many good LMMS artists, that I could have written for a whole year about them in single posts. However within that time just as many new good artists would probably showed up. And thus I bring you a new list right now! Check out the first list.

Filterswept is one of the gods. He does not use LMMS anymore though, half god it is. Apart from "Redemption" everything released before and including "Helium" on the soundcloud site is gold for us LMMS fans. To be 100% sure it is LMMS, listen to his tracks on the lsp (LMMS sharing platform).

KaplooeyRaRa. Ahh, no other songs bring tears to my eyes. Beautiful, outstanding, passionate. Synths were there from the beginning, and the harmony is overwhelming. Lately he released house too, songs with a little faster tempo.

MaDDog started out with trance and techno it seems. For the moment releasing orchestral and classical music. Calm and chilling, sometimes happy and funny. I found one amazingly scary and thrilling electronic song called "Evil". And hey, she is Finnish! In other words: quality.

Jah Sales created a few songs, and then took a vacation he never came back from. Anyway his music is very calm with piano, pads and violins. Very emotional. It could easily help you to sleep. It is a shame that he does not produce anymore. Also Jah Sales is the man behind the most realistic Firefly sound in LMMS up until this date. The lead sound in the song Fireflies by Owl City. Three very good LMMS artists: Red 7, Qwertygiy and raptor980 have made covers of this song, but none of them was even close compared to Jah Sales´ synth (Qwertygiy did not try reproduce the sound). So creds to Jah Sales for that. I reckon these artist haven´t even watched the video even though it was released before anyone of them tried. A sad example of how far apart and closed the LMMS world once were.

Mangofrango 101 seems to be dead too, but dead people apparently make awesome music. It is a fine mix between electronic, ambient and lounge. Tons of reverb with up-beat tempo. Exiting and calm at the same time. Guess there have to be a lot of contradictions when you are dead and alive at the same time. After my opinion this is among the best music in LMMS.

Notice that Farbro does not only use LMMS, but only freeware at least. On this YouTube channel it is only his LMMS songs and of course on the lsp. Very interesting songs and sounds, ambient and chill in addition to some real groovy house and techno tracks. He definitely qualifies as one of the best.

Jernemies' Mac died, or maybe I misunderstood that title... However I will keep the sentence. His music career came to a stop on Soundcloud with that dead Mac, however on Newgrounds and on the lsp many fresh and brilliant songs can be found. I like most of his compositions, they always take surprising paths! He rarely loop throughout the whole song which keeps my interest.

TRoniX is good. People called him pro after his second song. He makes party style trance, electro and house. Many of the songs are also available on the lsp, then you get to see the magic, not only hear it.

Usereg has some funky chords. House can be funky, at least french house. House is electronic, right? He now uses Ableton, "A moment before you fall asleep" was the last LMMS track from him :-( He was very good! UPDATE: He uses LMMS again.

That´s it for this time. Don´t you worry, I still managed to save many good artists for later! You have a lot to look forward to.
