jex - Xanadu

Sometimes you can never predict how fast a song will come together. Change of Pace took me nearly two weeks, but this one was put together in a little over a night.

Poetry fans will be able to tell why this song got its name, I'm sure.

It's about 13:29, but I couldn't come up with a good way to shorten it, so I'm just posting it as it is.

jex - Xanadu

Whattaya think?

I would, but I'm particularly attached to this song for some reason, and I can't make myself cut it up.

Dziękuję for the comment. Anyone else?

This is not really my style but imo those FX sounds are to louds, the rest sounds pretty good.
Kopi =o.

Yeh, I was wondering whether the FX were too loud. I didn't mind them, personally, but I wanted to post this here to find out if other peopls didn't like them. I probably should have mentioned that in the original post.

Thanks.

Any other critiques?

LOL yup those FX are loud but i enjoyed the tune. kickass start! Those rythmes are great too.

Okay, I brought down some of the FX a bit. The rip may still be a little loud, but I think I like it that way, especially after the "... ancestral voices prophesying war..." part.

I also fixed a few balance issues. The lead and the words should be clearer now.

Thanks for the crits so far.

I like the dirty synth at the intro - great stuff! I like the whispering too. Nice filtering effects - its great when the bass comes in. I like the melody too, maybe not very original - but the fx make up for it, and the synths. Nicely chilled track, very long though!!!
