Great Track ! Though I don't love that snare, it fits in there ! Can't hear it on a good stereo (only cheap headphones in an internet cafe), you could give the BD more. I know, it's chillout, but it also has to sound fat !
I like the harmonies most. The Melody is flying around the space and caught by the harmonies sometimes. That's really awsome in most cases !
So far my review (after hearing once)... |

The Multi-Instrumentalist
In complete honesty, this is a first for me. Trying to figure out how to review a piece like this will rely on what I honestly know of music. For beginners this defiently seems like a beautiful piece of music. THe piano line bass and snares. One of the most beautiful things about this piece would have to be the pads. A strong point to this track would have to be the soothing and relaxing sound which to be honest I would have expected to have more atmosphere. The enviroment this song sets in mind is absolutely brilliant, but for some odd reason I sense a lacks of reeverbor echo modulation to really get that "light" feel. I'm sure if you we're to ask an electronic music enthusiast, percussions play a key role in often setting a mood and ambience for a song. You can't go wrong with a little bit of extra percs here and there. Now I'm not saying that you need to go all Sander van Doorn on such a nicely produced track, but it would compliment the song well to add a tad bit of ethnic drums, or congas.
Torwards the end of the song I notice a beautiful fat pad at a low volume, my compliments on knowing where to place everything.
The Good
Great atmospheric sound.
Nice arrangement
Great equalizing
Dreamy Pads, Mellow snares, brilliant synth work
The Needs Improvement
To be honest, this might be the first track I've reviewed here which
doesn't have me complaining about every little thing. Just some details here and there. Maybe some ethnic percs, and a tad bit more reeverb on that snare? It wouldn't hurt to sprinkle them on the pads too (the reeverb).
In The End
Absolutely gorgeous track, great production value. I'd pay to keep this
:)
FINAL SCORE
With it's dreamy sound and it's great synth manipulation the final score is;

| I haven't lived here that long. I find most of the ambient music I like on the net anyway. |
