That break at around 0:13 was cool.
I liked it. Nothing was very outstanding, but it was a fun listen nonetheless. It had a very chilled atmosphere, which I liked.

Nice tune, really well balanced sound, every element is clearly audible and works well with the rest. I dont like the kick that much, it might be a matter of taste, but in my opinion it could have less "oomph".
Interesting melody progression, sounds weird but cool. Good work, keep it up!

Wow, I've gotta agree, the piano is great! Don't love the synth in the beginning but it works once everything else comes in. Personally would go for a tighter kick, but that's just my preference. Overall I really dig it. Definite props for originallity!!! Keep up the good work!

Thank you brian,
Everytime someone replies it gives me the chance of having a nice smile in my face.
Thanks
I have just listened to your track, before I say anything about the melodies and the trackbuilding, I first have an important suggestion: find a better kick. This kick you use is pretty horrible to be honest The kick distorts and has too much low end, therefore during the track it sounds muddy and ugly.
Now as far for the trackbuilding and melody: very very original and intresting. The piano break is almost genius like , really really good. Too bad nothing really happens after the break. The energetic build up of the track gets lost after it. I expected a nice leadsound to be introduced during the break.
Percussion of the track is great. Mastering is very poor. The track sounds hissed and has too much low frequencies and hardly any clarity.
I see the track is 140 bpm. Maybe you should make it a tad slower because the track now sounds a bit rushed. also try to make a longer intro without pads, that is nicer for dj's
Anyways over all a good effort and I think you now have a nice starting point to make this track a lot better than it already is.
Cheers!

Cool, some nice spooky trance here. I love that airy arpeggiated synth you bring in at 1.35. The lead up to the break is very well layered. Good choice of synth sound both with the leads and the bass. The kick does get lost though. Try eqing the lows of everything else to give you kick some room to work.
I really despise pianos. I think I had a bad experience with one as a child or something I guess it works pretty well but I'm kind of left wondering as to what the purpose of bringing it in was. Maybe you should carry it through after the break.

So, don't you really think that it would cause a good impressio if I send it out as it is now, even with that kick?
Why I didn't do back ups, 3 days ago, I got infected (my PC) with a Virus and I had to re-format everything.
