Everyone owes it to themselves to take a listen to this, very nice work. You're definitely one of the TA rising stars, solid production from beginning to end.

You already know my thoughts of this tune my friend

Well done!

Posted by Rising on Dec-16-2003 16:58:

sweet!

i liked it! very nice work with all the different sounds, they match perfectly. enjoyed the "ehhh - oohhh" bell:ish sound.. (if it says anything to you). nice bassline and perc. pads are good as well

though, the main lead melody could use some more eq work. i think that less low freq. and more high would do the trick

good producing!
thanks

nils: I'll try to eq it abit more, and play with it, hopefuly it'll sound better .

Comments as I listen:

Nice loud kick.

Bassline is good, but with the kick and bassline going at the same time it sounds a little unclean sounding.

I like the percs.

I don't really like that sorta vocal stab but that's a matter of personal taste.

Good hook.

The vocal type thing is a lot better around the 1:45 mark.

Sounds really good and full at 2:12.

Nice breakdown, good pads.

The breakbeat is lame IMO, that kick really doesn't work for it.

Dope melodies.

That clickclack sample at 3:30 bothers me a little, would like it more if it was congas or something.

Powerful buildup that doesn't let you down afterwards. Good lead melody, though I think the lead could use a little more high end.

Is it not in full four four time frame on purpose? I find it a little distracting. It's cool to be different and non-formulaic, but I find it a little distracting.

Overall great track. By cleaning up the production a little (see points I mentioned) I think this could be an amazing tune.

Great work.

this track is pretty orignal mate!

though i found a bit not my style, but thats a taste thing..

i actually liked the breakbeat alot, why was it so bad?

Posted by Sean Walsh on Dec-17-2003 21:09:

The breakbeat wasn't "bad", in fact I think it's a great addition, it's just that the kick was way too weak for my liking and I think it could be improved quite a bit by having a more solid one in there.

excellent track! 192 please!!
fantastic, great percussion and nice bass flow
although the kick patterns sometime go a bit wierd?
nice intro leads, perhaps too many reverse cymbals
also of the leads reso is too high

id add more snare builds, climax it
rimshots are too loud,need some deep bass booms in the break

also the attack and release settings of the pads are a bit wrong?

apart from that brilliant and i want a full mp3 PM me!!!!

Posted by Icone on Dec-17-2003 22:17:

Just had a brief listen to it and I can only agree to what John has said. Very nice tun mate! PM me that full mp3 when done pls

Posted by Luke Terry on Dec-17-2003 23:37:

sounds pretty cool to me

start is a little empty + the xtra bassline at 59 seconds is a wee bit fuzzy + muddy.

the original elements are really original, nice to hear a new sound

i think the main lead lacks the power the build + percs deserve, try a detuned lead with less delay, it may work but i dunno.

it does need to try and climax as john said, not just come in with a sly snare roll, it deserves better! but im sure that can be easily fixed

i reakon the lead is a wee bit too loud and needs to be backed up by a secondary lead of sorts

after another listen going back to the breakbeat as i was unure on the first listen, i like it heh

as with all shiat i like, if possible get me a decent mp3 or cdr and i will give it a blast on tranceairwaves in the new year

one word... Nawice! pretty good track u got there man. *adds track to playlist* as I was listening to the track, the background FX from bout 1:30-2:30 sound like those little toys that make funny sounds when u tip em over lol. Sounds pretty cool anyways... Although you may not take my comments that seriously since I am like the only freakin guy from Texas posting on TA, I think ur track is quite better than some of the live tracks I hear on the Sat. night show broadcast live from the Roxy ;-)
good luck,
Jake
