[Prog Breaks] OrgaNik - The Light Within [Full 320]
I don't know if anyone's noticed but I haven't been very active around these parts lately. There were actually moments some time ago when I thought about quitting the whole producing thing since nothing seemed to work for me.
Well... due to some recent changes in my life I feel like I'm getting back in the game again. In fact, I only started this little ditty this morning.
It's a relaxed breaks thingy with no major hooks or anything, the sort of think one could expect from me I suppose.

Enjoy.
Yessssss. Downloading.
Sounds great, Nik... love the atmosphere that's created here. I sure could learn a lot about programming my drums/percs from listening to your tracks. They always sound fantastic. Also, very cool to hear this as there doesn't seem to be much stuff like this coming out these days.
When the pad started playing initially, it sounded very... I don't know, "generic pad"-y, if that makes sense. It sounded very much like a typical pad preset, I guess is the way I would put it. However, it sounded great in the full mix. I like the high piano sound as well. Bass sounds great... is simple but effective. And the acid-inspired bassline that comes in later is very cool. I like the new percs that happen in the background at this point, as well. Not sure how to describe it...sounds like it might be a filtered drum loop, and it really added a nice element. (It starts at about 4:32).
One thing I wouldn't have minded hearing is a melody that spanned over the course of 32 or 64 bars in the latter half of the track. Not meaning something "catchy", but just something that adds an organik [sic] element to the track. 
Just a random thought.
Damn this percussion work kills me.
Heh, the percs are far more simplistic than you might think, I just layered some one-off hits and delays on top of them. The additional percs in the middle part is a d'n'b loop playing at about half speed and running through some automated distortion.
The piano melody was originally twice as long but I didn't think the later part worked quite as well as I wanted so I just cut it in half.

Definitely needs more sidechain and analog.
Moar Deadmau5?
Very nice track. Reminds me of breaks tracks that Nick Warren has played in some of his sets.
Drums are well-programmed. I also like the acidish sounds and the oscillating sound in the fadeout (is that the Scream tube distortion I hear?).
This inspired me to play around with making some prog breaks...
I'm not even half way through it, but I gota say, DAMN
amazing

Wonderful percussion work. I really like this track. Emotional, yet subtle. It definately get's it's point across without being overbearing.
Great job, Nik.
Been getting into a lot of progressive music recently, not so much breaks but I am really liking this one. Very soothing and relaxing Well done mate.
I enjoyed it a lot. Good work.
Nik!
Any chance you can fix some 1 hour TA prog/break set?
I know i heard some nice tunes here on the board with breaks in the last years.
Sure, if I can find some...
Very nice, love the percs. Really relaxin too 
Beautiful piece Nik. Those 8 minutes just breezed past.
as ever nice work bro. All made in a morning. I look forward to the days when I can produce a track in that time sounding so fresh!

I'm really liking the acid part in the middle there
Very nice production, it has that 'looking for evidence' feel to it heh.
Glad you didn't get outta the game. This track is NIIIICE! Very well done, mate!
How have I missed this until now. Oh yeah. Must have been that 2,5 week long trip in the forest.

I just listened to it. I have been on an ambient kick lately (too much study time) and Ulrich Schnauss has been a big listen for me lately. I gotta say that I feel that this tune combines the best of ambient and progressive trance that I have been enjoying as of late.
I will also say that the pad could have been a little better in terms of programming and timbre. I will say, however, that the pad sounded quite at home in the mix, especially those high notes. Some of the passages, minus the drums, gave me flashbacks of an old game I rather enjoyed: Super Metroid. Don't ask me why, it was a particular track that suddenly leaped to mind.
It's good to see breaks still getting a show here at TA. It's been a while and to come back to this is refreshing.
