I really like melodic psy and this one sounds great! It has a nice pulse, great driving kick and a good melody - and a lot of crazy effects! Everything floats great together! So cool! Thanks for sharing!


Takere!

UPDATED Verison

Its longer now...And I think the drums are punchier...I ran the all through a compressor, and was wasy on threashold so the kick wouldnt get smooshed to much. I changed the snare sound...I made the first melodic part shorter, cause it was getting old after awhile...I added a sample quote part. And as with most of my tracks, my drum and bass tracks are slitghy hotter then they probably should be...But i'm addicted to drums.

You already know what I think !

This is some high quality melodic psy, and it would do everyone here some good to listen outside their box for a change and indulge in something different. This track has mind-warping effects, rythmic patterns, psy lead madness, and a very satisfying melodic climax that crescendos to a capable DJ exit. It's a must listen for the month.

Psy power!

OH damn 2:45 i like that, kinda the first the part in the track that makes me go "niice". Now the beat came back in, I feel like there could be more melodies with that synth.


Around 6 minutes I like the infected influence
Sounds good, pretty much the highlight of the track. There are some percussions that sounds out of place, some kind of metallic snare i feel doesnt really go with the groove.

All in all, the production value is very decent, but I think theres not enough melodies like the one at 6 minutes, like I said, its pretty much the highlight of the song and thats it (but im more of a melodic-psy guy so thats just my opinion)

Love it mate. Sweet work dood.

Love the female pad chior from around 6:00 with the twisted synth. That build up is great!

Overall I thought it was great, but it still needs work.

Generally, I think your bassline could do with a bit more ooomph/depth in the mid-range. The kick drum is nice though.

At the 25 second mark, you have a small white noise build up before the kick drum comes in. I think this could be drawn out a little bit, it doesn't last long (Maybe make it 2-4 seconds instead of 1?). Also, it's a bit too subtle for my liking, I think that when it reaches it's peak, it needs to be a bit louder, though not much.

The breakdown at the 2:50 mark is great, good melody.

Like the vocal sample at the 5:00 mark.

Agree with Xeno, that female pad is great at the 6:00 mark, and the accompanying melody is good.

So, overall, great track, the production values are quite high.

However, the thing I think you're lacking is coherency, but this is probably more down to personal taste than anything. To me, the track seemed overly drawn out, could easily be cut back to 7-8 minutes instead of 9, and I think you should use more of the melody at the 6:00 mark, because that was great.

When I say that the track doesn't seem too coherent, it's because you've got two fantastic melody/breakdown sections, both completely different from one another, using different sounds, which I think is great, but in my opinion they could be linked better, perhaps even having some melody during the 5:00 vocal breakdown to keep the two sections bridged a bit better.

What program(s) did you use to create this?

Keep up the good work.

^Same, although another idea would be to liberate the two into separate pieces. As it is the composition behaves almost like two tracks mixed one after another. Purely academic though, I really like the stuff. How did you get that broken stuttering effect at the beginning, is that an effects sequencer of some kind or did you arrange that bit by bit?

Nicccccccce.

This is awesome. Not finding anything to criticize even.

It now has a permanent spot in my music folder.
