Hi mate,you`re very good at creating original atmospheric tracks,like the perc and fx you`ve done.This eqd version sounds better to me,everythings clearer.
I was expecting a prominent bassline but then you didn`t even use a hihat in london style 3,should have saw that coming ;)
I think you`d be more accessible if you put more energy ie a bassline and hats into your tracks but then it wouldnt be your style any more which is entirely original in my book.
Good stuff
Cheers

thanks for your kind words mate!
this is my most finished track i ve done and will probably work on this style more. a rmx of 'london' in this style is on the way. i try ande keep my stuff more 'bedroom' trance more than driving dancefloor stuff. its a shame because every time i add something to make my tracks more driving, eg, a bassline ontop of this one, it kind of ruins it in my eyes. now ive learned how to control soft synths it will be easier to put together a phatter track from the start.
it pleases me that my style has stuck in your mind for you to remember other tracks ive done, i apprieciate your support:)

Nice work!
I think you have a bit too much attack on the pad at the beginning though.
Love the percussion.
Breakdown is a bit too long though, you should add a breakbeat section maybe.
Nice little synth fx you have in the background.
This track has alot of potential i think, i would love a higher bitrate version. |

cheers for the comments mark.
the attack is a bit quick i agree. prob add a fade soon.
i think ill add some more elements and then the break will be more useful being long.
thanks again.:)

Hey rich,
I like all the fx and little sounds in the intro! great atmosphere.
I think the kick sounds a little hollow though.
It's pretty dark and mean! That bass synth is a bit loud..drowns out some of the other sounds in the mix.
I hear a soft choir in the background - sounds good, nice panning!
The breakdown is minimal and drags on a little - found myself waiting for a new element to be introduced.. maybe use more of those tasty fx from the intro?
Overall, it's chilled and I enjoyed - you've got a unique sound, pretty consistent.
Thanks for sharing!

thanks sooper:)
i know what you mean about the kick, im not sure why it is...
glad you liked the rest. im playing around with adding little bits to the break and re-levelling everything so stuff stands out more.
thanks for your advise and feedback:)

ve both have ze same vebpage makaz ya... freewebs -w00t. tho i don't pay for my subscription:::
the track is ok, agree with soop on the long bass notes(bit dominating)... i think its a bit repetitive even for trance and im expecting something more.... overall not a bad track just needs more elements of build and i recomend some kind of modulation of the harmony pad (freq/fm/ give it something that keeps things interesting) :) |

very nice chillin track, a bit on the darker side :)
the break might be too long for my liking, but i know in this style you can't rush things.
great use of interesting fx. they really spice up the track.
it would be cool if you could add somehow some driving force to it but that would probably have to be a new mix.
i like the dark pads. they fit nicely with the song.
also, for some reason i did not feel a climax. something to give this track more signature. hmm, hard to explain
overall great work m8.
the track really takes you into a different dimension. keep it up! |

Hey Richg101,
No idea if this track is the same as the one from the polll or how much it has been adjusted since then. You keep flooding the forum with more tracks at the same time, we just can not keep up with you ;) Ease up on use will ya hahaha
I am going to review this track as the track I heard in the poll and basically it is a very simple review:
- Melody/atmosphere : brilliant
- Percussionwise : WORK ON IT MATE ;)
You miss the chance of having an excellent track because the percussion is not driving enough. The kick is poor and I would suggest that you have a hihat going all the time during build up. Add a nice deep clap after each kick. Add a good hihatriff and pan it. Stuff like that. Just listen a lot to how M.I.K.E does his percussions mate.
Also the break is a tad bit long. If you want to be played on a dancefloor you need to make the track a bit more crowd friendly ;)
Cheers and keep it up mate!

thanks for replies nomen and motion..
this track is the same one as on the poll. but the poll one has been equed/loudness maximised and remixed down at different volumes.
percs need work i know:( as in all my tracks!
melody wise i have tried adding stuff but have found i prefer it as a minimal piece. as with percussion etc. but i know the kick needs a lot more 'kick'.. and the track needs a lot more drive from claps etc- ill have a play around but i dont have any sample cd's to really find any killer kicks/claps...
also i think ill shorten the break a bit. or add something to it to warrant the length.
im glad you enjoyed the atmosphere nomen and the fx motion. i think i am on the right path melody wise but i need to use a killer beat to make it more driving..
thanks for both of your time and effort in reviewing my track.
