Arctic Breeze - Stream of Life
Hei din norske! 
Your song lacks bass in general... So I guess some mastering would do the trick 
I really like your style. I mean, not too trancy and not too euro. My tip - check out this website: www.memories.no and download tunes from there. (Det er hjemmesida til en annen norsk kar som er superflink til � lage musikk.) You'll probably find a lot of inspiration from his tracks, as they are similar to yours - yet much better 
Bottom line - you focus on the melody in your producing, and I like that. I'm so sick and tired of people claiming that the melody isn't important at all in a track. The melody in this one is kinda simple, but it's nice. Once again, I recommend you to have a look at that website.

Thanks for the link!
I made the first version of this track in 2000, this is a remake I did as I was learning to use Fruity. I'm quite short on good samples, but I try to make the best out of the stuff I've got. Mastering has never been my best skill 
I have made another tune in this gerne, but I try to make to make a bit harder music now. I'll link them later
oh yeah drammen is teh bomb ;P snappys er bedre enn sidney.. (jeg bor i r�yken)
the tune sounds pretty good.. i like it... cant be arsed to write a ellaborate review right now, gotta go get me some sleep
when listening to it, everything sounds pretty clean... thats a plus!
cool melodies, very basic bassline, but it works, so who cares?
keep up the good work..
midi plz.... :P
Midi? Wth is that? 
Don't know how to make midi's of the flp source...
It sound like you don't produce your OWN music... Do you just use samples? I mean, you HAVE to make midi-files in order to call something YOUR tune

Hehehe. Jeg bare lurte p� om du bare brukte ferdiglaga samples. Jeg har en kompis som trodde han var dritgod til � lage musikk, men s� hadde han bare snekra en sang i eJay. Hehehe. Jeg bare lurte, siden du er ny her og greier.
Ps - og hvis det er det dummeste du har h�rt, s� har du ikke h�rt mye
You know Andreas // edzes, and the rest of the gang from Drammen??
Bass is definately lacking, and there is some other frequencies in there that my ear doesn't like very much... (around 3k perhaps?)
The melodies are ok, and the soundscape is good, with a lot of different synths and pads to fill out the sonic spectre. I would've liked a little bit more progressive approach to the tune, but perhaps that is not your style Very relaxing to listen to in other words.
Welcome to T:A!
Trefall, I know Andreas, but who's the "gang"?
Anyhow... Mastering is not my thing, got some poor speakers here :P
But thanks for the comments!
The gang came from the old tracking days. Bite_Per, eldorado, and probably a few others whom I've forgotten :P There was a good bunch of tranckers coming from Drammen at that time.
Yeah, I know those guys. I must say I miss the Wacko's productions. He was the best!

yeah... i'm pretty sure he was referring to 'one shot samples' (not loops) and he doesnt ever even have to mess with midi files since he uses fruity's piano roll to compose and never exports them to midi, so that's why he was unfamiliar with midi files....
anyway,
i like this one even better than corsair
i would mix your bass sounds slightly louder, but it still sounds good.
looking forward to hearing more of your productions
I know the bass is too weak, but I'll remember to the next tunes
Blaaaah, there's no build-up at all. You need to fix your general layout so that the song broods more. I don't like music that gets to the point immediately.
I'm with alex in that you need more bass.
In general, the progression of the song in general moves too fast. Like I said eariler, it needs to brood, and not just burst on with a melodic line. As it is, it sounds like a radio edit.
And considering the variations on the melody itself, this song could go on forever with a slower evolution.
[edit]D'oh! It is a radio edit. *facepalm*[/edit]
Now I've done some mastering. Not perfect, but at least the bass is better. So if you bother to download it again, its in the first post. Replaced the old one
Heya Arctic Breeze.
Stream of Life. It's a pretty uplifting track
0:40 the clap & the HH get this song moven.
2:17 energized!! 
The bass drum is thick & 'bassy'; tis good
2:40 interesting guitar/bango lick.
It sounds to be a very radio friendly effort. Some of the sounds are a little on the generic side.
Great production Arctic Breeze. I dont have any critism.
Xeno.
really good work overall, mate
keep it up

but I dono.. you'd have to ask him
Hey guys
I'm not shooting for any special sound or anything. Just doing what I have done the past years. I started to use fasttracker 2 in 98, the two first years, not much happend. Just fooled around trying to learn how to create something decent. In 2000 I got together with some friends and we decided to make music in Arctic Breeze name. Due to studies and military service we decided to quit the colaboration in mid 2001, and I kept the alias. That was also where I formed my "sound". But stuck in FT2, I wasn't able to create what I wanted, so I quit making music, concentrating on my new passion. My car! 
About a year and a half later I got in touch with Subtle Inc (He was the one who got me in here btw, thanks!) on www.trance.nu, and did one remixed for him. (I'll post it right away!) But I still wasn't able to get the result I wanted so I got back to my car. Late 2003 I got my hands on both Reason and Fruity, ended up with Fruity and then things started to happend. Much of the stuff I have made the last year are ideas I got several years ago, but could not complete them due to the software limits in ft2.
There you go, this is my sound
