Note the file is name .mpe not .mp3, but it's a 192Kbps mp3 file. My service provider has begun the very rude practice of blindly deleting all .mp3 files off its web server, irrespective of who owns the copyright ... go figure.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the tune and feedback is always welcome!
-Fast intro. Might make a short perc solo at the beginning to give the DJs time to beat match without having to listen through the counter-bass .
-Good bassline and counter-bassline. It has good a godo drive.
-Good intro synths. They are effectively repetative to get a godo groove . I like the distorted growls a lot too.
-The break comes in a bit soon for melodic trance but its a good break no less .
-The break-in out of the break is a little weak. Try using some filtering effects or some pushing percussive sounds (like a reversed crash) to get back into the beat.
-Good melody. It is very trancey and definantly melodic :P.
-The square+saw is a good additive to the melody. Nice complimentary to the song .
-Good quick break down to the end of the song.
Overall, I dont have too many negative points for this song. It does sound a bit on the commercial side and it could be a little beefier with the bass maybe but its good as is . Good tune and sorry I cant help you out more, its just right I guess :P.
Had to download real player to hear this so better be good . I'll let you know what i think when i download the song.

Cool buildup man, bassline is the groove. I like the square synth. The breakdown is great too - the melody reminds me of chiba , only 'happier'. Sound quality is excellent - everything is nice and clear. Good work man. Not as storming as chiba, but still very cool.

very well produced... but too generic for my tastes (especially the gating on that saw. it's screaming "mainstream" at me)
Good stuff, excellent synth work and really nice melodies. Not that keen on the sound of the synth that comes in at 5:45, but with the right sound I can imagine I'd really like that though.
Percussion sounds a little bit monotonal in places (too many similar hi-hats maybe? It's like they're all trying to hit the same place) and maybe a little bit 'standard' in the sounds you've used...
Other than that, excellent stuff - the synths really do make it stand out.
Indeed a good bassline in this one!!
I like the leadmelody too!!
Oh, a break now at 2 minutes.. Nice melody you introduced!!! Awsome!!
Hmm... The melody faded away as I expected a takeoff
But overall, this is excellent. Sound is superb

Nice bass-synth in the intro.. @ 1:00 it's getting really lovely
Nice harmonies @ 2:40 - And you just gotta love those melodies.. Wish I could produce like this, I always end up with some hard stuff or some crap

+ Reeally nice buildup
+ Audio Quality Is awesome
+ I love the melody that comes in at 5:45
+ Very original melodies
Thanks for listening guys, I appreciate the excellent feedback. I'll definitely try beefing up the lead-in at the end of the breakdown, a reversed cymbal will work wonders.
The melodies in this are a little generic, I agree there, and it's definitely not a club stormer but cheers for the feedback on the production. As long as the sound quality is still up there I'm happy with it.
Thanks

hey phill.. you know what i think about this one already but just to reiterate, production quality sounding spot on there.. the melody is a bit 'happy' for my liking, and the bassline is quite nice.. keep it up mate!
