hey martin!

as mentioned mixing/mastering needs some work, but i guess you know that!
string melody is sweet...that lead over it would sound better if it's just in the background...maybe it could be underlined by some other little mellows...
kick could be more noticable...
nice breakbeats in the break...
also the mainmellow sounds great...
breaks is done very well...creates a good atmosphere...
the snareroll, which prepares to the mainpart, is set in very well...
maybe youcould add some more percs...percs are very basic, yet...

with some more work (especially mixing) this could turn out great! keep it up!

Thanks for the replies guys! I think the parcussion is drowned out in the mix by the bass somehow. I will experiment and update soon on this one I think!

Any other suggestions?

Nice tune, something a bit different in structure/ideas etc from your usual stuff but still with the signature "Acute" sound.

Again, mixdown isn't perfect - the main thing that stood out to me was the organ/string/pad kinda sound was a bit too loud and the whole thing was clipping/too heavily compressed/limited (or something!)

Like the main tune in it and the subtle breakbeat in the breakdown

Good work sir.

6/10 which could quite easily go up a bit when you sort out the mixdown, etc

(Scale: 1-2 don't bother, 3-5 getting there, 6-8 releasable, 9-10 outstanding)

the triomphan (is that proper English btw?) returns

I saw your name so I had to have a listen on this one, and make a deep threat Just kidding Martin It sounds good only the percussion-part is way too loud, needs a little more mastering imho...
I'm a big fan of the synths you used, very nice the melody is a little boring though, but with some extra maintenance it could be a cracker I would say

Overall: good stuff!

tip: It may use a little more guitar-sound-sample in the melody to give it a little more power?

ah well. i will keep going
