Hello people...

alrite here goes

you got something good going with this!
this is sounding good with lots of potential!

the kicks nice! powerful but not overpowering!
the clap fits in well!
i think the lead thing in the backround is quality! near the 1 min mark! i like the lead sound youve used as well! it reminds me of a kid vicious lead or something which isnt really a bad thing!
the breakdown is very good! it doesnt get boring!

although

i think the hihats are good but i think you should maybe add another hat as well to give it more energy!
after the break at 4.30 you need more enrgy coming out that! perhaps the hats would fit in there?!

overall sounding good!

let me know how it goes

yea after the break it definately needs something

I'm going to change the lowest part to the bass to give it a more driving feel

Thanx for the comments...I'll probably update the percussion...its pretty basic atm....damn the batteries in my cordless mouse

Hmm, interesting.

The intro needs a bit of fx or someting to keep the interest... and the lead could use a different sound.

Other than that, I like it. Sweet and lush... but a bit short, don't you think? I was just getting into it and then it ended

Nice job anyway.

Yea....if I can liven up the lead with your's & justin's help I'll make a short second break...coz atm it'd be too boring to add 1

Very nice kick! I like the track, nice melody and structure. Definitely a lot of potential here! To improve, I'd basically just throw in some more elements, to add interest. But yea, decent track, I also agree that it seems a bit short.

very decent one you got going here, i see lots of nice elements. all i can say is the somewhat sudden-ending you could take care of, otherwise it's a nice tune

cheers,
LW

Just updated the link...has a better lead/melody and overall sound.

actually just remastered this version after I uploaded but bleh!

looks like I'll be doing another extended version anyway

Posted by George Kendall on Jul-07-2003 00:44:

Right updated it with a better sounding extended version....

still not happy with the lead, but thats about the only thing I'm gonna sort and maybe mess with the strings a little..although they are only subtle...they are a bit naff

An excellent track.
I really like it, but I agree the lead could be more powerful

I will look forward to hearing the final product then

great tune! i like the melody and the lead. i listened to the 6.50 and the 8.59 version and the last one is better, tho i think the kick is too loud. the low strings in the main bit are too loud as well..or have too much bass or something like that..i dont know
good track!

really cool tune. the melody on this sucker is massive. the bassline is orgasmic...lol...just one f'ckin wonderful tune. i really enjoyed it from beginnin to end. u got some serious skill...keep it up

Posted by tranzMental on Jul-10-2003 05:23:

really interesting tune man. One thing I gotta say - 'FX'. I think this song needs some sound FX. It's kinda boring, and doesn't really get my attention in the beginning - other than that - the producing is good, and the synths aren't that bad. Keep up the work man! Good pads too!

Posted by nic01445 on Jul-10-2003 06:07:

intro needs some work. fx would suit this track nicely also. overall sounds a bit distorted. maybe its my headphones, i think they are dying i wonder wut this would sound like, pitched up...

You guys remember this one??

i'm going to post up my remix of it in the next few days, i just need to master it properly - then it's ready to Go, George likes it, but has a problem with my Techy percussion (i think it's fine)
