This is quality Wim. The build and chord progression is A1, percussion and fx generate such a sweet 'clubby' atmosphere like they do in most of you're tunes an the vocals are implemented well.

Although, having said that, I think you should add a minimal phaser and panning to the latter parts of the chorus to add a kind of 'wispy' effect.

Good stuff.

- nice synth/acid work
- maybe have the cut off frequency go way up on hose acids for a build up
- that single kick at 2:20 should be like one of those explosion kicks or crashes that has huge reeverb on it
- like mentioned piano does sound a bit awkward to me. maybe some nice delay could help
- melody is very uplifting for me
- when the beat comes back after the break, try to separate the progression of the mixdown. maybe the hats. i mean let the kick come with some hats and after 16 or 8 bars let the rest come to keep pushing up

Listening the track now on headphones.

That little snare-roll-effect has to much high on it which hurts. Like the strings in the intro, all rolls nicely. Not much hapening, now the break comes in, sounds really good! Nice atmo..., Now the climax is coming. Yes, well it sounds really licked, but its nothing special. I think you should use another notes for the climax lead, thats my oppinion, to make it sound more original... This track is not something which i'll remember for long time.
I don't like he piano in the second brake. It doesn't sound natural, to much delay on it and a nothing-telling melodie.
But you've got the reputation, i'm not surprised...

A little heavy on the reverb-delay combo, but that's a mistake I made on one of my earlier tracks too, so I won't dock you for that

The lead (?) is drowned out by the pads in some places.

Overall, though, I like it. And how 'bout them PADS?

Hey DC!

I think the track sounds more muddy due to the encoding... As it sounds alot more clear on my hd

The fact that the lead is kind of merging with the pads was intentional though.

It always does sound better on one's own HD It's like that with the first movement of my electronic symphony - the version I uploaded first was too quiet and you couldn't hear anything over those timpani
