Listening,
Intro is a bit long for my taste,the kick sounds good,also I liked that voice sampler,in fact that was my prefered part of the whole track.
In overall,it's a bit monotone,basic and experimental for me,seems like you were more focus about the FX than the rest of the elements,but a big point for you,sounds pretty clean!Good work .
Kopi =o.

i am a big fan of goa/psy so i liked this one
altho i can recommend to add more percussion or reverb the one that you have n make it sound more unsaturated, u see the main problem with it is that i can hear it by itself, instead it suppose to go along with the track like its part of it, but whatever, like i said its a nice track

I'm getting some clipping from your kick in the intro. You might want to turn the gain down just a bit.

The sample at 2:12 is cool. It gives a good feel.

You could definitely use some more percs. Weird snare riffs and stuff like that.

Awwww... don't ruin such nice goa with such a cliche kick roll.

That last hit might come a little too late. Maybe make it a little earlier.

I agree - kick sounds distorted/clipping experimental, not Goaish but good none the less - some trance elements. The melody is original. Higoa, your production is pretty ok - nothing spectacular about it but good work.

Some sounds are really cool. Some are not - the drum roll is cliche indeed but I think I know what you were trying to do.
Good job. Look forward to hearing more of your production soon.

Holy dancing shiva!

Start is pretty kewl. Nice delayed hihat =) Kinda reminds me of some of zodiac youths tracks.

I like the synth that comes in at 1.00.

2.42 kinda looses it for me. The melody doesnt seems to be going anywhere. Main synth sounds like it would be better as a bass line or something.

The track gets going at 5.33 and I really dig it from then on till the end. This is how a goa track sound sound... full and ethereal, I like it. Pity about the 2 minutes leading up it.

Overall the synths dont sound too goa-ish to me, which is cool apart from the fact that the persussion and some of the other elements sounds pretty goa-ish.

Anyway, the track has a lot of promise, just needs some more work I think..

First off, yay for quick servers lol. Much nicer than waiting to downloads peeps tracks at 10 kb/s.

I <3 Goa/Psy so that's two points right there. Your kick is alright, i guess, but it feels a bit. Dry. A bit muddy (like my kicks ). Your percs are good i guess, and damn. I'm digging your psy sound. Makes me want to throw on some Infected Mushroom.

All in all. A damn fine track. Could use a bit more work in the melody department, but I think with goa/psy you can AFFORD to be a little crazy with it, I mean shit it's psychedelic trance right?

Production is pretty good too, I'm getting a sense that I want a TAD more ambience, try being a reverb whore or something, max it out then back it down to taste.

Good work. Keep it up.

EDIT: did notice some clipping on that kick first run through forgot to comment.
