Just in case no one saw this, I'm bumping it for the first and last time.

Hi PDM,

a really nice job you did on this remix.

I wonder why no one else has replied until now. This forum begins to suck...Crappy tunes seems to get more reviews than TOP productions like yours.

I wonder if there are better places to post tracks...

Very nice and complex structure...keep it that way !

Thanks very much buddy. I guess people just overlook since there are so many tracks posted daily.

This track is a big favourite of mine...

Man, nice intro. No screwing around here I see. I feel theres a bit too much echo going on with some of the percussive elements tho.

There seems to be a lot of reverb or maximising going on in this track. As a result I think it lacks a bit in the lower end. Thers a LOT of stereo action going on too. Some of those synths could do with more centering.

Overall not a bad effort. I can see youve really tried to create some very fx heavy synths which work pretty well. Although I think at times the lead could be clearer as it seems to get lost amongst some of the percussive elements.

Definatly has that PDM touch to it. Theres some great elements and ideas in this and you keep the melody intach but add enough new elements to give it a new direction. I think you can do better mastering than this though, judging from your other tunes.

agree with what was written above, nice sounding, but the lead gets lost a bit within the perc effects and the likes.

some very cool effects and synths, the breakdown is very nice, personally i think a new element or rythm change need bringing in after the breakdown after about 128, as the second 128 seems to drag a little, like the change though 64 after the breakdown, something like that would be awesome again. maybe a chord change within the strings to get some new harmonics.

I liked it though, very cool track, good energy.

Really no messing around; sounds like in-your-face trance to me! Very nice intro indeed, very moody as well. It sounds very full as well when everything kicks in, has a nice feeling.

One of your best productions so far I think mate, great job. Perhaps only some eq'ing on some synths I'd change and perhaps tone down some effects, though it makes it interesting as well.

Overall very nice work

Bye,
Wim

very cool! i think overall there is a bit too much reverb, especially on the funny lead thing, in general its very mushy and could do with cleaning up a bit. but apart from that its nice!

It's ok. I'm not too much of a fan of it. The percussion drowns out the other main parts and it's just not clear at all. It's all mashed together. Maybe that's why you didn't get signed.

I wouldn't play it.

Just being honest, and I apologize if that sounded any way offensive.

Thanks Mike, Wim , Axo, Luke and Spec for your comments. To the last one, no offense taken, but it's been played already by various djs, I think is all a matter of opinion.

The percussion problem that you axo pointed out, I admit it, but it was intentional, I kind of wanted the lead blend with the percussions instead of making the lead louder, like in every trance track, but I thing I failed doing so, i'll have to rise the volume levels.

As far for the lower end, I EQ down everything bellow 45 Hz, because at clubs the sound of that lower end is not enjoyable, but yeah a bit more of lower end would add nice.

I'm glad with the volume of the effects, they give a nice space feel to the track, specially during the break.

I'm glad with this, maybe not the best production of mine, but I enjoy listening to it, and so you seem to do so :P

I've made two remixes of the 20 of my all time favourites, so I'll apply those advices to the next 18 tracks.

Thanks pals.

hey mate.

Heaps of reverb that makes it very spacy. I like it in a way. Though I would love to have it more 'Front Stage' than out the back behind the perx

2.25 love this break. the echoing bubbles sound awesome.

The progression from this point is Ok.

4.30 the echo is insane!! You must be aiming for a huge sound. Love the chior sound to it.

Not a big fan of the bass drum selection.

amazing tune PDM. You had a great crack at it.
