Hey there mate,

Even Russians make good trance these days Your track is really quite good. I love the atmosphere. The percussion work is really good! The bass is really nice, track building is good. The track is a bit monotonous perhaps but it does not irritate me.

Positive criticism:

- The mastering is not all that. The whole track sounds a bit canned.
- the track goes on too long after the lead section. You should be building/cooling down the track but after 6.30 minutes you kind of start building the track up again. The track does not really have a good mixing end for DJ's if you know what I mean.

Work on these few things and you have a solid track. Nothing that really stands out but a relaxing track with a good atmosphere.

Cheers!

Nomen Nescio

mmm tasty, I like the rythm, teh bassline is smooth and unintrusive, the instrumentation works well and fits into the mix. Melodies are bit too simple and don't seem to progress anywhere though which leaves me with a bit of an empty feeling at the end of the song. Very nice sounds and mastering tho, they are pleasing to the ear...

- nice percs/hats those those conga sounding things should maybe be lower
- use a different synth for the bass. it should be cut at a lower frequency and be deeper. also increase the attack setting, and work with some filter so that the cut frequency increases within one note for that sweep effect
- your simple hats kill out the better sounding, subtler ones which i didn't like
- add some background strings in the background. that can really add some emotion and that trance feeling to the break.
- the melodies seem to be building but never reaching a climax. basically you need a lead
- during the high energy parts after the break, you need a simple, prominent 4x4 hat to set the drive.
