tasty

Cool crunchy drumloop, really sounding great.
Nicely middle eastern style melodies, sounds pretty majestic and the low pad helps a lot.
Great glitchiness following, those rolls are so powerful, it sounds excellent.
Good variety, this spacious sounding part is a good progression.
Back to the main 'chorus', nice, and that higher synth drone fits like a glove.
Really solid track man, an enjoyable listen without a doubt.
Keep up the great work!

attemptedperfection responds:

Glad you liked it;
Thanks for the review!

great fresh start!

cool demo man, I can easily imagine this branching out into a complete track.
Interesting intro, maybe that theme will come back later in the full version?
Very, very nice bassy lead you've got in there. Sounds perfect. That will carry through the track nicely!
Good beats, I'm thinking maybe the kick could be made a bit louder? You need peoples heads to explode!
Well, not much more to say, other than "Welcome back man!". Now make this into the best track you've ever made. And then let me know! ;)

THANX man u Rule this morning i Saw ur new trance song.
But it hade problems uploading the revieiwing page so i couldent reveiw =(
Wait Wicht base sound HAHA. I nkow wicht one u mean tho ok ill see what i can do!

i feel the funk

Nice track, certainly a very beautiful rhodes (wurlitzer?) nicely dosed with the phaser.
Tight bassline and the wah guitars are excellent.

I like it very much when you step the drums up with that ride cymbal and the brass starts to get funky. This part sure hits the spot. More excellent chords with the electric piano.
very good track development, its full of variety and a true composition.

Well, very cool...I just missed some more fills, crashes and maybe a saxophone solo :)

sorohanro responds:

wow, thanx. very nice review...
i tryed to obtain a nice wurlitzer from putting a slight distortion on normal rhodes... better for dynamics
and about fills and stuff, well i'm lazy :D and i lately work with drumm loops, sounds more naturall... so, there
thanx again for review

cool mo D

Great track, you've got my mind dancing. I love the low acid in the intro and the distant percussive rolls.
Kind of glitchy South American flavour to this one, with those synth riffs and the percussion in the 2nd part adds to that feel, intentional I wonder?
Hehe, great outro. Cool pitch shifting, grainy goodness. I can see this one working its way up to a 1st class glitch fest. By all means, dont 'tease me' with this, well...teaser.
More! More! More!

WinTang responds:

More to come!
Thank you very much!
Didn't quite go for South American but I can definitely see it, the drums are kinda Samba di Janeiro :D

cool

Nice upbeat flavour. I like the different kinds of percussion and beats you've got in here.
The bassline is playing a pretty sweet chord progression, definitely on the happy side of dance.
Once again, some dreamy kind of melodies that help the listener forget their worries! ;)
Enjoyable man, keep up the great work.

A slight negative would be the track overall level might be a little bit high? There seems to be a little bit of distortion sometimes ;P

Music-story responds:

Yep I see your point about being too high pitch...but it makes you happy right? That was my intention. For some weird reason high pitch sounds always make ppl happy. :) PM me whenever you make songs so we can both review eachothers and offer good advice. I'm glad I did you an indirect service of forgetting your worries. Bye for now

great work man

Cool piano riff, reminds me of Italian house. Nice, simple melodies to drift away to. Nice harmonizations on the strings throughout.

Nice tone on the new bassline. Ahh, nice sound effect to break into the new section. I like the human style vowel synth sound! Nice dreamy melody again.

Something thats bugging me a little bit is the track feels a bit overcompressed. Perhaps some of the lead sounds a little loud?

Overall, really nice track, you've got a good ear for harmony and melody, no doubt about it dude.

Music-story responds:

Well your bang on the overcompressed part but maybe for the wrong reason. I compressed this 30mb song down to 3.5 mb so sometimes you hear some distortion. Making music with a $20 program also doesn't help my quality. I'm not rich :( I need to buy logic express but costs 400 dollars. Thanks for the review.

cool

Lets have a listen.

Interesting intro, nice spacious feel that makes me want to listen on.
Catchy little organ sounding riff. Nice fx and the pulse feels right.

Intense beats man, those hihats really create an energetic mood. I'm digging that sweepy pad at the start of every 4 bars.

Powerful build-up. Cool high energy flavour with your driving melodies.
I'm all for diversity, but after the climax it sounds like you have a lot of cool ideas, but they are clashing sometimes, and that may not be a good thing in this case. Gets a little jumbled, but it holds together ok, I would just like to focus a bit more on some key instruments.

In conclusion, awesome track and well thought out, except for the ending which was probably a bit too complex for its own good although the individual parts were great. The first chorus part was my favourite.

If you have the time, I wouldnt mind you checking out my latest trance effort. You seem to have a pretty hot track there at the moment ;)

Karco responds:

Hey - the truth is, actually, that I've put a week's effort into this one... waaay more than usual for me. =P And the quality/mixing definitely was a bit of a problem for me with this song, but I think I did ok. Glad you like it. =)

Yeah, Phantom Zero's another pretty good song of mine... I'm pretty proud of the high score it has compared to my other songs. =) But sure, I'll check your songs out. =)

catchy

A catchy little drum and bass probably suitable for a fast paced action game.
The beats are solid but I think wanted to be a little bit harder.
My favourite part of the track would have to be the bass. Cool, crunchy tone and the riff is catchy. I dont quite know what happens at the end, it gets a bit random!
The lead is what gives it that cool video game touch.
Anyway, keep it up man!

DSMagnum responds:

Well, the drums haven't been finished yet, as this is only a demo. They'll be really pounding when I get done with them.

The end is how it'll end in the final version. It only seems random here because I crushed what I plan on having as the end and the middle together.

And if you liked this bass, you'll love the one I plan on putting in a future song of mine. It's a really gritty bass that also works as a lead. :D

Thanks for the review!

great effort

Nice intro. I love the bassline when the song gets moving. A very good sense of building.
I like the resonant lead you bring in, the groove feels just right. Nice break into the next lead. Sounds like one of my favourite patches from Vanguard.
Good progression doubling up the melody in the next part. nice snare roll.
Damn, I wanted more! I can imagine some soaring pads coming down onto the track or something.
Anyway, excellent work!

5'd

Dr-Dajova responds:

Heh, thx :)

Well, i mostly did this, cause it was requested. Since ppl watched the basshunter's tutorial on YouTube, ppl started to ask me that, so i guessed it was time to do it now ;)

i like it a lot

I really enjoyed this one.
That is a quality pad progression and the beat goes with it perfectly. Cool hihats. As does the subby sounding bass.
You really played that arp live? with the tempo turned down a bit right? :P
Nice simple track, but the way you built it up deserves praise. Well done. Some really enchanting harmonies and melodies. Well mixed.

"Loosen up my buttons babe..but you keep frontin' me..say'n watcha gonna do to me..but I aint seenn.....

sorry, I had to do that.

Quarl responds:

lol, indeed. Thanks for the reviews man. Actully, I learned how to play those melodies on the key board in real time using garage band. I didn't slow down the tempo. It just took a bunch of tries and failed attempts :D
