can't give any constructive critique, really liked this one though

Hey come on, post a high quality sample!

Nice guitarish synths. You should use the reFx Slayer plugin for some of those.

If you are going for this kind of unique feel, then I won't say add hi hats and snare. But I think the song would benefit from some kind of snare, be it syncopated or weird sounding...

I wonder what this song sounds like when one is under the influence...

reFX slayer plugin hmmm .... ill look into that.

Yup i am aware of the missing hi hat. I did that deliberately - (well I didnt add the 'clap' because im not a very big fan of it). i wasn't sure if i had gotten away with it, but since you mentioned it, i might look into it. cheers

LOL yerrr this is a pretty trippy tune when your wasted. hehe thanks for the feedback

Cool!

I'm really diggin this - dirty & funky ... a great combo.

I don't think you should up the tempo, it works so well as a slow mean monster. But I'm DYING to hear this with a thick snare... I think it would give the song so much attitude!

I think if you add the snare, and a few more perc layers you'll have a rocking unique dirty prog tune!

Really refreshing to hear some different stuff like this - keep up the fine work.

Yay, more Xenocreator! I can trip on this stuff without drugs!

This kick is going to piss my sister off so much.

Sounds like some electro track run through angry distortion and flangers. So weird.

It did piss her off! Good job!

You might want to compress the kick, come to think of it, because it's clipping and distorting a lot.

5:28, a really awesome sound starts up.

This is a tremendous improvement over your last two pieces. Much longer and more complex and interesting, and you managed to hold onto the morbidly trippy style that you showed in the first two. If anything, I would just look into the clipping. That's about it, really.

HEHE glad to be of assistance to piss off your sister!!

Im contemplating on changing the kick. Im not sure it fits the track either. It sounds funny on my moniters & doesnt give the desired subwoofer *umph* if you know what i mean.

5:28 is my fav part of the track too. something about that chirpy rif

Im glad you liked it. thanx for the feedback Jex

Wow, this is wierd!
I'm not gonna ask which drugs were involved into the creation process :P

Sounds very unique to me... a bit stressing maybe, but by far the most original "Trance" tune I've heard so far . the guitar part at around 1:45 is extremely nice. ReFX Slayer is a good instrument, but I think the guitar sound is good how it is, you don't need to change it. However, the kick is a bit too muffled, I think it needs a bit more 'click'... the track is very groovy, but maybe another percussive element would make it even better.
And both thumbs up for the track, especially for those pads in the background.

under the influence, and fucking great!

trying to make some sober comments now ...
beat is slightly weird, I do agree about a snare; you cannot underestimate the dancing power of beats 2 + 4 in a bar!!!
the synths are great. [0:24] bass synth that comes in is groovy; at [0:40] now you've got some seriously groovy bass. Excellent!
wicked sounding at [1:44]. track evolves very nicely at [6:30]

it's really hard to compare this track to others; it is very original. but in my limited opinion i think there's too many breakdowns; the track loses some movement without a snare, and with there being quite a few times without the kick means the energy is lost somewhat. the fact that i am sitting here on my ass in front of a computer probably invalidates what i just said

overall i really enjoyed listening, an original tune to say the least, and i'm looking forward to tracks 6 to 10! may the mayhem continue!

Very cool production man!
This is defiantly something I could listen to while getting stoned. Some weird ass sounds and effects you got going there…And when its all combined with the groovy bassline it really makes you go dizzy (In the good way I mean) .

It sounds like no other tune I heard before, like some down-tempo techno… really cool and original.
Me likes a lot!!

It would be nice to hear a higher quality version of this…
Thanks for sharing!
