Ok this is the follow up to the remix i did of lukes Oasis. its kinda in a similar style of Prog speed but with quite epic sounds as i think it works well. This one isnt quite finished so all comments on how to complete or make it better would be greatly appriciated.
Oh and this originally started out as a collab between me and chris shepherd on the melody but it become so far removed from that i think its safe to call it my own now.
hhmm.. seems like the piano is a bit drowned at some points...

Hmm, the rhythm is kinda "clunky", the percs don't really flow. Your bass and beat are very weak, I suggest adding a layer of sub-bass and changing the kick to a punchier one.
The piano is great as well as the melody.
Overall it's quite a solid track but needs some FX layers and the earlier mentioned perc and bass reworked.
i would only suggest that the bassline be stronger and you can make it all kick more dramatically
good job cant wait to hear the full

i like it and the piano is nice, that breakbeatish part with the piano sound al azarish, mint, yeah, nothing more to say really
other than you should add more hardstyle elements and a vocal that says "fuck me in my bassdrum"

cheers for the feedback guys, im glad the piano has gone down well. i was a bit worried about it!
all the comments made so far i pretty much agree with. There is a lack of fx atm as i havent got round to much of that yet. With the bassline, this is the 4th bassline thats been on this track and i still cant get it right it seems
but on the whole u all seemed to enjoy it so all is good

bass + beat need some serios beefage
the piano doesnt sit too well with the guitar, i dunno whether its the notesm but they sound like they are clashing and fighting for space in the mix rather than harmonising
with them melodeues will be mint when its done tho
Pretty clear production. I like the percs.
I'm not at all fan of the piano. The melody it plays doesn't really grab me and it's not easy to stick it in my mind. It drowns a bit sometimes.
Now the break is a bit too long, I think there should be happening more.. and there's really too much piano in there
No real climax, maybe you should build up more to the end of the break.
Imo there are too much kicks at the break beat part.
