This is SOO much better than your last production. Really pro-sounding. The melody is catchy as hell, and the whole structure of the song is really good. Still, there's a lack of energy as the main-part is playing.

Impressive.

Over 12 minutes!!! I usually don't bother with songs this long...but the name intrigued me and the intro is pretty sweet...sooo here we gooo!
This is really a great progression. Nice arrangement and development...things seem to happen pretty slow, but again the progression sounds like a good mix (ie. flowing bassline, drum fills, breaks, etc).
I think that your synth playing the bass line needs to be boosted a bit in the mix...it's hard to appreciate the nice tune that is being played by it because it's too quiet and therefore too subtle.
In my opinion, there needs to be added variation on the main melody especially after 6:00 when the arping synth comes in. Another counter melody would really suit and add some extra energy.

Yes...now approaching 10:00 and nothing has really changed since 5:50. It sounds cool at 10:33 when that other synth takes the melody solo. I think that should have developed earlier and built from that.

Good production!

Damn that song is really good, it gets a little tedious tho after a while since it keeps repeating itself for a few minutes but if you shortened that part a little I think it would be a very amazing song, I really like it tho, sounds very professional!

i like it. you definitely have the right idea. the only thing (and it's already been mentioned) is that is a bit repetative. i kinda want to make an edit of it so it's more around 7 minutes.. also, i have a feeling that if you came up with a pad progression that it might sound really nice too.. anyway, good work, but IMO if you are going to make the song that long it is good to have some more changes..

about to go check out your other tune.

peace,

ur quality is EXCELLENT
all u gotta work on, is filling up the song more, ur synths are too quiet, but ur beats and bass are excellent, just ur synths.... like put more reverb on them, and more release, to make it fullllller,

good melody too
great work m8
peace oout

i like the bassline on this one. nice breaks section in the breakdown too. i guess just like everyone else said, dont repeat stuff in the song for so long. otherwise good work, add some more reverb though.

Thanks for all the comments!
I know it may be a bit long and repetive in the last part. Somehow I just couldn't cut it off after the first main melody thingy. I think it would have lacked something then. And I didn't bother to make up something else. Guess I was tired of playing around with it

Meh, I'd say that the beat at 4:34 came to early. You could have built up to it a little bit longer, methinks.

I think that you could use some more bass throughout the song. It seems kinda top heavy.

Your lead could also use a lower octave added in to sort of fatten the sound, although that may be more personal opinion than anything.

I think that your bass drum in the breaks section could be less attacky.

I agree that the second time through the chorus the song gets a little repetitive. Other than that, I don't know what everyone else is talking about.
