Hey man
It's just a loop so I don't have that much to say, but I just wanted to let you know that I think your beats are getting much better. This is your best rhythm out of all the songs I've heard from you!
The pad is pretty cool, but how about some reverb? Could make the track a bit smoother.
Anyway, keep working on your music!
the song i submitted before this one is the wrong one, first.
just letting everyone know! :)

Thank you for your good review, this one was actually part of my spook song that was meant to be released, or was it techno, idk XD
just look out for my stuff tomorrow
Very nice
Good beat and very nice piano over some nice rhodes chords in the intro. Sounds like a bit of a phaser on it which is a nice touch.
When you drop the beat and introduce those chords, it sounds like Daft Punk! Very cool fluttery effect in the transition before it. Very catchy groove. The beat comes back nicely. But where is the bass? I think that would really make it complete.
At the end I hear a really nice jazzy rhodes piano or something that cuts out suddenly. Damn, I wanted it to go on longer!
Don't be depressed anymore. This is a cool track :)
wow , thanx very much for this long review! Lol i like the end also the most.
Im not depressed anymore , i am making great projects wich are a little bit like this song.
Thank you very much for your great positive review , greatly appreciated!
Nice beat
Well, you've got the beats sounding pretty nice and solid. Good kick and snare, the hat is a little bit weird.
The bass line is cool when you bring it in, but we have to wait quite a while why the higher synth plays the repetitive note every bar. I'm not quite sure why it's playing for the entire track?
The sound fx you use show you know when its time to begin a new section but you probably want to think about changing the percussion at these times and adding/removing sounds so you can get some sense of structure.
Keep practicing!

Sounds like some mighty fine trance. I really like the 303, and the build up is really good into the main melody. It sounds like a real anthem, and you build it up even more the second time around! Great stuff! The vocoder is good, sometimes the Fruityloops ones bug me. It does sound a little bit corny into the buildup to your main part, but hey, it adds a nice extra something to yor track.
Nice splash to end the melodic part. I almost thought the track was gearing up for a new section, but nope, thats the end :)
wtf i luv u.
I've been waiting for a review like this. I thought it was "too epic" though. Its fine? Thanks, that only means one thing...
Gotta make more.
XD check out my other stuff if you want. "Forever" actually has a good melody, just that it comes in at around 1:00, no one noticed though, :(
But yeah, awesome. I'll go make more. Thanks alot for the review! I thought the same about the track when it was "gearing up", but then i accidentally made it end, :P
Be back for more.
Nice one!
This is a nice track to chill too. Everything is mixed really well and is clear and sharp. Nice strings at the start set the mood. I can see why you describe it as happy because the synth playing the melody is so bubbly and bright. Nice melody there.
Very good change halfway through, bringing in the extra pad. This is wicked! The only thing that spoils it a little is those snare rolls which get a bit annoying after a couple of listens!
Other than that though, top stuff! I look forward to more! Perhaps the next one will be as dark as hell?
wow, what a great review. And yah i was thinking of submitting a evil song soon. Thanx man.

Ch-ch-check it out
Hey Kaisun, you're back with a vengeance! Unusual intro soloing the bass, you introduce a VERY nice chunky drumloop that is listenable for ages. I think the hats are just right. Looks like you've learned a lot from Ali B, does he tutor you in person these days?
Its cool when you drop the beat and give us some trademark automation to bring in the juicy bassline. Beastie Boys, yeah! Man, they're a bit far back in the mix, but the bassline is so cool, I forgive you.
The song goes from strength to strength, with the bassline morphing and twisting away down there, and some excellent variations in the percussion making the whole mix a really good listening experience. Top stuff mate! Looks like you've worked really hard on this one.
Make more!
P.S You missed my awesome flash. It got blammed on a final score of 0.53/5, can you believe that?
Haha 0.53/5 thats so low it makes me really want to see it. Yeah the beginning is kinda unusual, i chopped out the first section and couldn't be bothered fixing it so just left it, then added the boys in when it was finished. Glad u like it mate, more coming
Keeping it funky
Cool intro, a bit left-field but works really well!
Hmm..sounds like a funky, chilled house number now. Wicked sax, co-operates really well with the sultry rhodes. Sometimes I feel like the sax should just play a really cool short riff that echoes out every quarter note so the kick drum and itself pulse together. Man, I'm an arrogant reviewer ;)
The bassline works well, interesting that you didn't select an acoustic one. This one is more interesting I think, it seems a little bit high though.
Previous reviewers have mentioned the kick drums level a lot, personally, I think its spot on. Nice strings and pads throughout, you know, I'm really enjoying this track! Just waiting for a sax solo...the whole thing is kind of like an extended solo I guess! One thing about the pads, the lower one tends to dwarf the bass a little bit.
Very nice wind-down of the tune, expertly done! At that point it feels like I'm listening to Royksopp (spelling?) .
Keep it up!
P.S Thanks for reviewing my budget flash. It was kind of meant to be lame in a funny way, but I don't think anyone appreciated where I was coming from :) Back to the drawing board...
"Sometimes I feel like the sax should just play a really cool short riff that echoes out every quarter note so the kick drum and itself pulse together. Man, I'm an arrogant reviewer ;)"
Hahahah! Man I wish I knew how to do that :) that'll all be saved for at least a couple of months from now, if I can be arsed in the meantime to discover all the possibilities of Cubase...
I still lack decent bass samples, if you know a way to get my hands on them, please let me know...
Thanks for your comments, always a good input you are!
And I was quite entertained by that flash of yours, even though I knew it would get blammed - I've had my days of watching the Flash Portal's new entries and there's a pattern in which flashes barely make the cut... just investigate a bit and you'll know what to do, I'm sure, keep trying :)
Top stuff
This is a quality track. My first thought was that the piano meshed exceedingly well with the strings, and that kind of co-ordination is always admirable.
The xylophone/bells give the track a very pleasing depth. You bring in the drumloop to very good effect. The roll at the end of each bar matches the driving momentum of the strings.
Very, very good stuff. The only thing I can think of to kick it up to the next level would be some more consideration of dynamics. Easing down parts gradually, some flourishes..things like that. Well, flourishes is a nice word, but maybe wouldn't suit here ;) Anyway, you know what I mean.
Overall, excellent. Keep it up!
I really like the effect that the bells gave as well, thank you for hearing that. I agree, the dynamics could have been more diverse, and thanks for the review
Summarise this!
Nice energetic bass lines. The hats are nice and busy, you sure like Pendulum huh? :) Nice use of the snare roll to kick the track up to another level, classic string sound.
Hey, this part is cool, where you change the drumloop and bass. Very nice changeup!
Keep it up man, you're doing great ;)
Cool song
I'm getting a definite Pendulum vibe from this track. The drums are spot on and thick and the bass works really with the leads. Love the hihat pattern. The snare does get a little bit muddy later on though when the bass covers it a bit in the mix. Other than that though, great work!
