Hey Wim,

Makes me happy to listen to some new Icone work.

The clearing has a tad different bassline I'm used to from Icone. Hehe that reverbed tick always does the job. Everything evolves pretty slow in this track.. have to be patient to get through it without skipping parts. Melody is original but I'm not really touched by it like with your other tracks.

Touch of Summer starts nice. Good percwork. I love the vocoded-like shivering effect. Has a summer feel to it indeed. I like this better.

Good luck with the two.
-Jay

i love it!
good profuce .. cleaning job ..

eliran.

The Clearing is awesome, great sounds and a fantastic break. Love the drums, really the style I would play. The touch of summer is nice too but it doesnt really impress me so I also havent much to say about it. Are they signed yet? And so yes, when will they be released? Cause the clearing is really awesome.
Keep it up.

-Peter

Hi Icone,

Listened to both of your new productions. Here is what I think

The Clearing : Love the bassdrive, the build up is solid, the depth in the track is great with all the percussion and fx you use, truly love that. The build up however is a bit monotonous, I was expecting that riff to change tone half way through the build up. The break is nothing special but the lead is powerful and good and once every element comes together it is dancing time.

Overall a good track but nothing extraordinary.

The Touch Of Summer :

This indeed sounds like summer. Nice build up (too bad it is 64 kpbs, would love to hear this in full quality), again a great bassdrive. Percussions are top notch again.
I love that sound at 2.35 haha.

The break is superb, great pads. This is summertime baby. Wow wat a great lead. This is a lovely track. A lot better than the clearing. Only thing which misses a bit is the transition from the break to the lead, the beat comes pretty sudden into the track. I think a lot more energy could develop if the transition is done just a bit better.

Compared to The Clearing this track would get a 7,5 and the Clearing a 6+ And for details and depth in your tracks you earn a 9 !

Cheers mate!!

Thanks for the feedback guys

Contact with the labels I know is going very slow at the moment, so nothing fixed as of yet...

Cheers,
Wim

Hi,

Both are nice, but i prefer The Touch... Nice melodies and good structure. I only think you could tweak the leadguitarsound a bit, it sounds a bit too static for me. The Clearing is also a nice one, but the mainmelody does not impress me that much.

The Clearing is good.. loving the main melody

but The Touch of Summer is where it's at.. gorgeous pads, beautiful main theme and plenty of power. this one should get signed easily!

Really nice tunes man, both are a bit too generic Trance in my very personal opinion, but they are really good .

HI wim,

The Clearing - Great intro and percussion work, Backing synth and bass is spot on. Lovely perc synths in the backing, Pads are great and the overall effects are brilliant. Breakdown, The melody is cool, simplistic but effective. Great Stuff

The Touch Of Summer - Again intro, percussion work, bass, effects, backing synths are spot on.... Breakdown, The guitar is great, nice melody, im loving the massive synth that incorperates with the guitar.

Great Stuff, Moved to samples folder >>>, personally i cant get over your George Hales - Autumn remix still

Terry
