I suppose it's difficult to get reviews of an experimental track at a tranceaddict forum board.

No need to worry. We're mostly open-minded music wise, but alot of people do come hear for specific reasons.

Onto the track:

I'm not sure if it's the player... but the track feels like it's being played under a pillow. It all sounds like it's been processed by the same LP filter. In yet, it doesn't sound as bad as a reader may think - it's more like a lo-fi phat, really.

Doesn't really make me think of Genre's, it makes me think of some of the music from Batman Beyond for some reason (even though I'm not a fan of the series).

The bass is squelchy, and the drum loops are filtered nicely for appropriate effect. The reverberated "Secret Agent" drums near the one minute mark set a very nice vibe in the track that keep it sounding alien and action-filled as well.

There is some psy-goa trance at the end of the piece, but it abruptly ends after some noise licks.

1:30-ish, the melody isn't following key sometimes (yeah, I know this is suppost to be experimental). The goa melody is evil, but it was abrupt and didn't follow through on arrangment.

I really wish I could hear a better recording of this. Hard to judge outside of the musicianship.

Hey...

Interesting track... the beat is pretty wild and twisted!! I�m not too fond of the kick, it could be slightly softer imo. It�s weird when it changes to psy... very surprising. The production could be little bit better, now it sounds really harsh in a digital way. All of the effects were pretty cool...

Cheers, Lakeus

Four_On_Four-er: I know what u mean about the sound, I wanted it to sound lo-fi but only on the beginning, dont know what I did wrongwith the rest of it.. , maybe the program (Reason 2.5)?

Lakeus: I agree about the kick, and about the production quality, I hope to get better yes! I heard your track and tought the mix & mastering were very good! what programs do u use for mastering and effects, and what monitors do you recommend/ use?

Tahnks both for the reviews! unfortunately I cant change anything in this track, cause it was erased already, but its good to know opinions anyways

Hey,
commenting as I listen...

Nice beginning with weird sounds. I really dig this.
Really fat beat. Funky! I like what you did with all the drums. This track does never get boring at all. Weird melodies, great drum work and madness everywhere in this track. Now speedcore/psy? Awesome, didnt expect this at all ... funny way to end the track.

This one was really entertaining. I dont think I have anything important to criticize. I enjoyed listening. Keep it up!
