Battle coming.
Very creative filtering at the start, gives the track a nice submerged quality. I like the beat a lot, nice and heavy, kind of like the warring armies rolling all their war machines into place. Nice distortion on the beat later, I'm definately liking it, a nice contrast to the peacefully ominous patterns playing with it at higher pitch.
Well produced song, I like it!
I REALLY appreciate the comment thx! :)
Great
Cool track dude, you've got a lot of nice elements. The synth bells at the start didn't really fit the energetic mood of the track, but I was rockin when that that bass dropped. Nice gritty guitar synth and when you step up the bass it sounds awesome, a little like a Daft Punk track.
The arp is another nice element, great acid bass a bit later. You like a fusion of sounds i see, and it holds together well. The only problem I can see with the track is the drumloop. Everything else seems to drown out your rhythm a bit, and thats really important.
Oh yeah, nice tribute to Daft Punk's One More Time at the outro :)
thanks very much, although (as i said in the comments of the track), a lot of these sounds (not all of them, the bells, drums, and some other things are not) are already made loops that i mixed when i was bored, i would have submitted something more original, but i dont have them saved as mp3s :(
thank you for you review
-Chloroform?-
Great acid.
Very catchy track as usual.
The big thick synth kick and snare at the end was sounding great to my ears, and thats some pretty unique jazz styling you introduce after. I was missing some bass for this last section. I guess it was just the outro though, so its not essential.
Nice thick pumping drumloops and the acid was delicious. Just one thing, it feels like the loops are slightly different lengths or are a bit too short or something, because there's a bit of an awkward delay at the end of the loops.
Anyway. Nice work!
Yep , they are a bit too short =(
Lol u like the jazzy part? i thought it was a big mistake =P
Thanks for the positive review!

Well, its simple, but it sounds great. Very fine keyboard playing as usual. Wish i could comment on the song more, but you're not giving us much to work with ;) Exceedinly nice chord progressions, kind of contemplative and hopeful.
Keep it up dude.
By the way, I was wrong about other sites being more promising, garageband.com is a bit of a joke to be honest. Newgrounds is a good place to share music.
Whats the play about?
Thanks mate, good to see you still favor the old NG clique :)
Glad you liked it so much.
The play is about three people on an island. They need to take some kind of initiative in order to leave, but they can't find the right thing to do because they keep annoying each other instead of teaming up.
This tune would play to indicate that a certain amount of time passes.
Very smooth...Mr Wintang
Man how I love jazz... I could listen to this stuff all day long. That is a wicked rhodes tone, I don't know why it sounds so damn awesome in the lower octaves, the texture becomes grainy or something?
I'm damn impressed with your keyboard skills, you've got some moves, thats for sure! I would do anything to have such command of chords, very nice improvisation, I loved that ascending sequence! Its jazz, so I don't know if you wanted to do those occasional doubled notes that sounded quite atonal.
I can definitely see the same style at work as the organ solo in Hitler hacks Linux. Very, very good stuff.
Have to say that ride cymbal got a little tiring, as much as I love ride cymbals. Some splashes might liven it up in the percussion department. I like the sidestick snare, its pretty far back in the mix though, but for all I know thats how its done in jazz, so don't take me too seriously here :)
Anyway, I enjoyed it. Think I'll download. Keep it cool Mr Jazz Man.
Cheers!
Yeah, jazz is my excuse for sloppy playing :)
This is not finished, so I'll make the drums a bit more interesting in the next version. Thanks for that tip.
Nice job
Hey nice song, that synth playing the repetitive progression sounds dream-like and gentle. I like the electronic pad that comes in later. Gives a nice rich sound. i'm liking the kick in this one, and the rapid shaker pattern creates a satisfying rhythm.
Gets unusual at the end, I like it..sounds darker, like the dream is becoming a nightmare! Nice fx at the conclusion.
Keep it up!
thx, glad you liked it though =) yeah, i tryed to do some cool stuff with the effects to make this song a bit more interesting anyway, thanx for the review!
peace
Nice
Some really good arps here. The rapid kick sequences you use in the intro make me feel like you're building up to something, they seem a little bit silly if they dont. You've got some really nice harmonies going on with those synths. The kick drum is a bit of a problem in this track, I can't hear it much. Maybe consider adding some hats and a snare/clap on the offbeat. The bass sounds good, and I think I can just make out some hats, but they're too low!
Good stuff, I'd like to hear some of your more recent trance if you have any.
Feel free to drop me a review if you feel like it.
There are hats...I am considering shortening it so that I can use a higher compression rate...right now its at 56 and it pretty much destroys any trace of treble.
Mmmmm....Acid!
Nice variety of beats here. Everything is well mixed, it just seems a bit 'light'. One of the reasons might be the song is lacking in bass. Do you have one here?
The Euro lead is cool later on.
The song really picks up later on, and you introduce some good melodies. It would have been nice to have them sooner though, its a long wait :)
Keep up the good work.
sorry that i forgot to pick up the bass, check up on me and my work for BASS!
Great work
Very, very great sounding piece! Epic, nicely programmed intro leading into your wonderful melodies. The synth choices are perfect, I love the lead and the choir type sound backing it up.
Good progression of the song, I liked it when you had that variation halfway through with just the guitar type lead playing alone with the arp. Nicely done. The only thing I didn't like was the plucked kind of sound playing the arp, but thats just me!
Also, it ends a bit abruptly. Still, its definitely worth a 5. Keep it up!!
Epic, eh? that's an extreme word which I will take pride in :)
Definitely an improvement
You've made it better, thats for sure. I'm really enjoying the percussion in this one. The hats are very well mixed, congratz on that! You'll have to teach me. I like that arp a lot better now, much cleaner in the mix and lets the rest of the track have some room.
This is a good foundation for a track, now sometime in the future I want to hear a trance/dance track that is totally unique. Make your leads epic, this one is good, but lacking in variety and sounds a little bit dull. Watch that clap as well, a tiny bit on the loud side. Kick roll is a little bit too intense as well, drop it back a little IMO.
Like I said, this is a good track. You've got the basics covered, now lets see something special. Also, don't be like me when I first started to make dance. Spend lots of time on a couple of tracks, dont just aim at producing quickly. Quality music takes a lot of time and patience.
Good luck dude, you're on the right track. :)
So cool, thanks a lot ^_^
I'll definetely try having another go at dance/trance, or maybe remix an existing song into this genre.
And I'll keep your advice in mind ^_^ Quality over quantity is something I believe in as well :)
