Mike, strange one this.

To me it sounds like a superb track, but encased in some kind of 'limiting shell'

Everything seems to be there, it just needs to break through the 'shell' a bit.

It's pleasant, the melodies are great and the ideas are good, but as mentioned, bass and general rhythm could be toned up.

Neverthesless, promising stuff...

with them melodeues will be mint when its done tho

i like the breaks



agreed with luke in this one,

nevertheless, the piano melody is mint

keep it up, Mike!

thanx guys appriaciative of all the comments so far this is the reason i put it on here in this state and not fully finished, because i knew aslong as people liked the piano then i could be onto a winner and i wanted to get every1's view on it all before doing all the hard work of fx's and such.

the structure is pretty crap and jumpy atm but thats cuz i threw it together. it shall all flow a lot better in the final version and hopefully should be pretty good

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


i Can't listen to it right now, because am not at home.

But i know i can tell you that, you can't force a good bassline hehe .

I like it a lot!

1 criticism - in the break there is too much piano. I like the melody, and I'll go against the tide and say I like the bass and percussion.
Dont like the breakbeat though.

- nice ambience
- pianos sound good in the break at 1:00
- after that is gets a bit boring, things seem to repeat over and over
- add stronger bassline to make it more prog. sounding

Downloaded this a couple days ago, just got around to listening to it:

The melody is really nice and dreamy, and I'm in love with pianos. During the break the piano sounds kind of thin and computery though, so maybe use a different sample, remove a little delay, or beef up the mids a tad with eq.

All of your synths sound really really nice, but try and bring some of them into the foreground more. Everything sounds like its playing behind the piano instead of around it.

I agree about the bassline, it's not driving the track at all at the moment. Sometimes simplicity is the answer, I'd say go for a simple but driving bassline instead of a complex one.

Good work, looking forward to the finished piece.

cheers guys, all comments are taken on board to complete the track and i agree with most of them I will change the bassline, and the structure to make it less repetative hopefully it should all sound better.

ahhh, i love the breakdown where the plucked starts to filter in, complimenting the piano...


the melody for the piano actually sounded really random to me at first (the structure of it) but once the beat comes back in, it sounds a lot better... i wish you had a huge build up leading into the main section, woudl have built a good amount of anticipation, woulve have sounded fantastic


this song is growing on me, the melody gets better and better the further i go into this song. i think the percussion could be more worked on a little more (separate them) and i would like to hear a stronger pad to fill out the track

percs are good, bass is good, but that piano is driving me mad

piano is good, but a bit too much of it, id like to hear a variation of leads and use of other synths

so beef the lead up and thats it really.

though not my style, wont make me move much...im a fan of faster, more energetic trance

good production though, but just not for me
