very very nice mate. i dont think that it is qiute as good as second form, but still really really good. i would definately play this in one of my sets.
the only one critism (and it is very very small) is the last few seconds of the track sounds a bit flat like it just goes into having no layers at all. i know that when it is being mixed into another tune, you wont be able to hear it, so it doesnt really matter, but i do think there should be some tiny layers there.
do know if u understand what i am trying to say as when i read it back i cant really get at what am trying to describe, but anyway. keep up the good work. ian
ps with producers like u, this section should no longer be called "ameateur" in my opinion

Wow I'm impressed!!
Even though I'm listening to this with a really crappy pair of headphones I can still hear the quality of that tune.
The title of the tune defiantly fits, love the structure of this… How everything just builds step by step, layer by layer.
Love the sounds you got going there, massive bassline. And those female choirs really add a lot to the overall atmosphere.
This is by far your best tune so far IMO, your getting better and better each time I hear something new you come up with.
Keep up the good work!

Good stuff.
I liked your other called Hive, but this one is much better imo. The synths are great, and the nice atmosphere in it makes the whole difference. I like the bassline as well, but I think you need to work a little bit on the hats, it feels like they are just filling up empty space, and they're not really that great.
Overall, great track. You're really improving m8!

Thanks heaps for listening guys!
djianthomas - glad you like flatline! i wasn't going to pm you about this one because i think it says in your profile you don't like floaty / vocal trance ... so i didn't think it would be your cup of tea. once i did this song i realised that my own heart lies in more of the driving up-front tunes too, so stay tuned bro!
dj-kreing^^ - thanks heaps! it means a lot coming from you. you pointed out that my last tune needed more work on arrangment, so I tried to practice that a lot more for this tune. btw. when are you going to put up your version of One Last Dream? Really looking forward to it.
m1cro5lave - thanks to you too! i think you caught me out - my percussion skills really are bad, you hit that right on the nail. but thanks a lot for pointing it out, you never know what part of your skills that need to be improved ( usually all ) actually stand out to people as the most obvious. I will definitely be working hard on getting percussion right in my next tune.
thanks for all your comments! and don't mind me if i sound all excited ... i just got back from seeing above & beyond ... very very good!
1.44 hihat sound a bit supressed(lofi) all the perc are tbh. just give them a bit more room.
breakdown to short for my taste, pads are nice though.
gets a bit repetative after.
you used those Doru vocals nicely, synths sound ok i didn't feel it had really an actuall hook to look forword to, which made the tune repetative
work on the perc mixing aswell, not much just slightly few volume tweaks i think.
thats it mate

Well I actually did open a thread about it, not many people seem to be interested though…

Thanks for listening Massive84! I definitely agree about the hihats, i overdid the step-filter and will probably go back and make it more subtle.
But what do you mean by all the perc are tbh? I'm still trying to work that one out ...
DJ-Kreing^^ - can't believe I missed it! I've listened to it now and posted some feedback in your thread. Nice tune!
Hiya pho ma
I finally get to review one of your tracks!
Intro
-massive bass
-massive beat
-love the *bleepen* rythme
1.20 love the angels & the duel rythme
1.45 yerrrr hihat kicks it. beautitful. doesn't flat on my grado sr225s!!
2.25 where is this taken me??
---> 2.52 oh I see. The new bass is great. I love this......
4.15 layered with the angels again. This time it has alot more charm! Simply beatiful in all its kickassery!
The electronic strings come in & say hello at 2.30 for a bit until 2.53. They then come back from 3.35 until 6.00 - A little too long for my tastes (repetitive). I would change the sounds to them- maybe do some extreme frequency movement; but that's just me
This is simply a magnificent production. 1000 stars man!
Peter

hey mate this is a nice track and def gets my vote. Everything to me sounds pretty well balanced and mixed. It has that fast paced beat and hihats yet along with a 'chill-out' melody which imo sounds a bit like solarstone or estuera work - nice!

Sounds like a real nice track to me. I love the small female vocals in the track, somehow they seem familiar...
I do think it's a bit of a pity it never seems to reach a real climax... I always like this in a track. The sound of the hihat was bothering me a tiny bit as well, though that's peanuts really. My thought is that a softer hihat would give it a more subtle drive. Overall mix sounds well mastered so far.
Keep it up!
Wim
