Holy crap; no way this is your first production! That's remarkable.. you will do good things!

I absolutely love the way your melody hops back and forth between the two synths! Awesome bass line, and it's mixed nicely.

i like the vocal sample in the beginning...
some nice elements...i like the wooden synth...
but where the hell are the highs? your track would sound much better with an increasement of freqs above 1khz...your sounds mainly lay below...
perhaps this is intention, i´m not into psy....

Thank you for your nice comments! This gives me a lot of motivation to go on!

Klangzentrum: You are right, heights were missing. Thank you for the tip. But this was just the mixdown and now I mastered the track and gave +5dB to the heights, I think its better now.

Use the link in my first posting to get the new mastered version.

interesting...

nice thumping kick

nice array of fx, etc, holds attention

nice touch at 3:27

i like goa and psy, but i think in future tracks try and make the sound more full on, it just sounded thin overall for my liking.

just listening to some "Astral Projection" before your track and i think it made your track sound, not weak but, not powerful enough. Have you heard Astral Projection? No offence intented, of course its your first track . Just a thought for future productions because i think you are on the right lines.

Keep up the good work !

This one is very nice ... really if this ur first attempt then u r goin' 2 be an awesome producer !

no just keep the freq's low I really like them that way.. very good fx.. breathes out a great atmosphere.. not to fond of the outro.. somehow loses my interest there..
still really nice work

yes very nice, especially as soon as it starts
by the middle i was expecting some more fx or hats or drums w/e or anything that will keep it going
as i said, it starts very pro, i wasnt sure whether its the psy choon from newest album i am listening to or the song i just got off tranceaddict production forums, but yeah, you need some saws or something to make it more rich in the middle and end, cuz its same bassline throughout the whole song, so it gets annoying

based on my personal experience, i dont really believe this is your first attempt to make a tune, i mean you just had to practice a lot and spend nights experimenting with those modules, anyways, very impressive, very nice

peopple dont just sit and make tunes, tell us at least how much time you spend making it
or at least reviewing or editing samples

Interesting track so far.

Like that bass (sorta like "Man with no name"-type).

All those elements, loops/sounds keep the track interesting.

Very good sound quality.

One of those sounds/synths you use sounds like a haunting "voice" or something.

Although the track may need some beats/drums/hihats, I could be incorrect.

I would add strings/pads/chords in the background, but that is my personal preference.

Have fun and experiment with the track, add elements to it that may not be considered "Psy or Goa" (break the "rules" if there is any ).

Just a suggestion.

Keep up the good work.
