My review

Review

Introduction

Seems pretty straight forward and easy to mix. It has a hard trance sound to it. At the 50 second mark there is a cymbal that keeps ringing. That's a bit too loud. At the 34 second mark, that synth is rather cheesy dare I say.

Melody

It's actually not a bad melody, it sounds happy and complements the song well. At around 2:00 minutes, wow, didn't expect that. Sounds very nice and quite uppity. The breaks keeps the track moving along.

Elements

Although the track sounds fleshy and mostly complete it really isn't. There are so many elements missing. Such as atmospheric effects and perhaps some fat strings in there. In example at the 1 minute mark, you completely kill the bass and then there's just the melody, in that posistion it sounds completely empty and it needs something. Perhaps a white noise sweeps of some sort? The good old snare drum roll?

Other than that the fat bass saw at 1:55 sounds strong and has a good volume.

Overall

The track sounds dance able and suprisingly has a nice flow, but it needs so much more beefing up and a littl evariety would be nice, pads,fx and all. THe highats sound a little dry. Keep up the good work

Final Score 5.6 / 10

I dig the melody, addictive to listen to - good choice of sound for the lead!

I agree with Kris that it would do with a touch of beefing up. Dropping some hints before 2:00 would be good so that you don't go off on a 90 degree angle.

This track has very good potential though and was fun to listen to. Keep it up!
