Well, you're gracious enough about it.

Speaking for myself, I thought it had a lot of high-end gloss that I strive for and fall short of, consistently, so if you found my criticism unfair, blame it on my incompetence. Still, it's that gloss that, in conjunction with what happened to the music once the song got going, sealed the fate on my critique. The beginning, to me, demonstrated a lot of potential but then fell quite a bit short of that, once the song got going.

Maybe I was looking for something unobtainable at the level you're playing at. Be it a corner you worked yourself into that would have collapsed no matter what you did to get out of it or simply something still unimaginable; while being beyond so much of what is on current offer from Armada. Whatever ethos pervaded your production process, this song, like a multitude of others I've been hearing for the past seven years, seems to borrow heavily from the sensibilities of the songs which opened up this genre while being recidivistic in terms of being less about creativity and more about marketability.

Nice post!

I think people are going a little OTT with critisism and to a certain extent being a tad bit unfair to the guy

Ok as most mentioned the song does start off quite well, and it did remind me off commercialised trance from 9-10 years ago.. But to me thats no bad thing, they still sell ... I think the song lost its way slightly int he main chorus, but it was still listenable throughout.

On terms of the video, ive got to say good job, who else these days, after producing music for only 3 years, will finish a track and get a video shot for it too, without even knowing if its going to be signed up or not.. I say fair play to you mate, and all the best with this track and future projects

lol, you guys should cut him some slack. sounds mixed pretty well(bass sounds pretty nice), and about the video its really professionally done even though cliche and cheesey whatever(that chick is hot!). i like cheese sometimes ^^

a track ive been listening to lately, might make a bootleg.
