Nomen Nescio pres. Sandwalker - So Still (original mix)
Hey fellow trancelovers,
I am back with a new tune which I produced alone after having had much fun working on Stargliding with Rick (RickyM)
This track is under a new project name "Sandwalker" which represents my more relaxing warm trancers. Very curious what all you think of it. The track does not have a title yet so suggestions which fit this kind of track well are more than welcome
You can listen to the first 7 minutes again on my Soundclick page, it is the track called TBA :

Hello Nomen!
I hear the tabla and directly I get attached to the tune.
And the progresive base that comes in a few secs after gives the tune the first touch of character. And im a dream melody addict so i cant complain about that and Im a complainer =) However The perc are very good blended in the background and the kick is punchy enough for this kind of dreamy tune. The break @ 2.40 is very nicely done and makes me think of the classic Ayla tunes wich is a compliment indeed. and the tb303 kinda melody after this is wonderful, Your mixing skills are very good , and theres no mastering flawes.
The only complain must be the snare roll that could be a litle better done, it isnt bad but it sounds very oldschool, But its a question of taste i guess.
This tune is very good indeed , Im impressed by this tho its the first tune i have heard from you it wont be the last. keep up the good work and Pm me when i can get this for my Ipod =)

I'd have to agree totally with mavve. I really love this production. The kick is punchy, yet still has power behind it. Such a dreamy tune and it definitely sounds like Ayla. Not enjoying all those snare rolls so much, but all the sounds are very creative.

hey nomen,
very good tune you made there,
i like the intro, right from the start, you came up with a nice pad which is a very good background filler imo.
good drumwork, i like the percussions and the bassdrum.
also the bassline sounds very good to me, in combination with the bassdrum you created a solid bottom.
i think the bassline is introduced a bit to quick, same applies for the lead sound that comes in at 1.00.
the lead sound is not realy my cup of tea but you came up with a lovely melody.
alltogether the effects do sounds very well produced.
i realy like the relaxed atmosphere your tune got.
good work.
cheers, nik.

ah a nice big kick accompanied by some minimal tribal pers. work nicely.
bass is nice. full and warm trance sound. reminds me of the good old days.
3 note melody is warning me a nice big melody is coming..
i think a bit of chopping out here and there of your percs could spice things up and add some variation in the break.
break- reminicent of 'this is my sound' by dj shog. i loved that tune back in the day
the emotion is nice in the break. very high melody could really work at an octave lower i think. would sound more emotional imo. or maybe it could drop an octave when the kick comes in? like on 'even angels cry.. that bit worked really well. then at 5.02 it could go up to the octave it is at the moment.. to add even more massiveness...
this is nice work as i expected. i would say it could do with a few meaner techy percs replacing the more classical trance sounds..
nice work nomen!

Hey guys thanks everyone for the comments so far, I am glad you all like the tune and I am happy I succeeded in my purpose of making a more laidback track
Richg101, thanks for always giving good detailed reviews. I understand what you say on the leadsound. I tried it an octave lower to start with but it clashed with the pluck which is an octave lower so this combination was the best. Also I knew you would like some more dirty percs haha. Maybe in the future that will be my next step, right now I am happy that my tracks are becoming better percussionwise
With regard to the snares used during the build up, I only did that to get some extra energy going. Without them the build up sounds less engaging but I do understand the concerns
Also I am glad people love the kick which I used, I am really loving this kick myself
Cheers everyone!

Hey menno
Nice intro, and as others have said (and myself before ) that the kick suits this track really well.
The change around 2 minutes works really well also.
Nice breakdown also, and very melancholy melody that you bring in here. As I mentioned before the plucks are excellent, and that wistful synth works well.
No real criticisms from me, the mastering is excellent and good mixdown.
Very nice work menno.

very trancy as usual from you.
kick is good for this style of chill out your creating
percs ara nice
your bass is great
synths are also nice the melody has a nice feel to it although it doesnt really stand out like the chords in stargliding.
its a nice track to listen to although i think you could make it more catchy.
