Fade-in everything thing. Delay on the kick. Not too shabby.
Pretty trippy so far. Sounds a little muddy. Not enough pretty high end.

Might be a bit too much delay on your kick? Your weird sample that comes in at 28 is cool sounding, but it sounds too filtered, it's not bright enough for my taste. You add in percs around it. Which sounds okay. BUT the sample itself kinda doesn't fit, and calls attention to itself.

Weird noises. This is pretty minimal and darker. Bassline is sublte. Maybe a little more please? 1:21, cool synth, and added more weirdness. You sure like kick breaks and rolls don't you?

Bring up the mix on your percussion, and high end. I'm missing sweet percs.

It is indeed quite trippy. Nice ambience change at 2:02. I like it. Then adding back in the weird trippyness at 2:15. A little bit too loud? I'm loosing your percs again. Your hat hat and snare has become too indistinguishable under that weirdness.

2:43: Old school synth. Nice layering. But all these synths sound too muddy, not nearly enough high-frequency information. Sounds like everything is dominating your low and mid frequency range, and all your criper sounds are not very present.

Not too bad though. A little too muddy for my taste. Very trippy, almost too trippy, the breaks you do make aren't shocking enough and i feel the track can just drag on and on. BUT I think there's some neat ideas in there.

Thought I'd give you a review since you don't have any. And I hate not getting reviewed especially when I contribute a lot. SO. Here's a review for you.

Keep it up.

Hey, thanks for your review on my behalf...

I'm with DJFreak for the most part...

THe muddiness he's referring to are alot of frequencies that are in the hearing range that fatigues the ear. It's tiresome to listen to after a while, but I dunno about the club.

I do like this minimalistic style of trippy trance. It's wierd... not too dark... and grooves like an alien bar's live band.

I love the pad at 2:08-ish.

3:06... those trippy sound effects are back -- perhaps too loud.

Then there's this alien horn that's really acidic and really fudged up in a good way.

Your style of mixing sound fairly clinical and sharp -- it's just the frequency ranges that are tightly neglected that's causing the track to lose it's dynamic edge against the muddiness factor. The delay on the kick is the primary culprit in my mind. To be honest with you, at least it's cleaner than my mixes. :D

I'm not sure I like the clap at 4:56. It's alright... it gets the job done, but it might have been a little better.

Nice outro... the gated blurpy stutter pads were unique.

Good job!

Really liking this mate. The kick and bass are fantastic... its got a very heep pulsing sound to it. Reminds me of some of Promethius's tracks.

Synhts are twisted and srcreaming, just the way I like it. They really are bouncing all over the 3D image, I really like it... lots of trancsparency to them. Any insight on what sort of FX you used to get that sound?! Its intense!

I kinda like the EQing on them to be honest, its harsh but not distorted and it sounds intentional. On a big soundrig, it would really rip peoples heads off.

Settles into a nice groove about 3 minutes in. Gotta have a solid groove with psy and you've established that well.

Around 4 minutes I'm getting a Future Sound of London vibe... very cool and nostalgic for me :)

This is great stuff, a real stup up from your past couple of tracks.

I'm thinking around the 6.30 mark there is room for a change of some sort. It doesnt 'need' it as such, but I felt like the madness could be taken up a notch rather than winded down which is kinda whats happening.

Great work though, easily your best track... real psychedelic stuff with a touch of darkness and a hint of techno.

hey,

you have good ideas!

dont put delay on kick

3:06 is cool, good trippy style


the atmosphere must be more intense in order to make people trip and freak out!

try to make percussion more agressive and draw sharper suspense curve, that means more differentiation between high and low frequencies, high and low volume.

but in general i like the trakk

keep up teh work

Hi out there.

@@ Dj Freak @@

Before leave in the air this track I ask some friends about delay on kick and everybody said that must be mad.I try it and I like it to the most of system that I listened.Wish could listen it to a club into the boom boom area...Maybe you are right for the freqs of weird sample and percs.I'll try it in a future mix.About the muddy taste....don't know...think that only in a pro studio can understand whats going on.Still try it and taking nice ideas like yours.The breaks isn't my base dut don't dissagree that gives stucks to the people.

Adam I really appreciate your review.It's nice to have such responds.

Some of my thoughts above think that covers you.Dynamic range it's a very sad storie sometimes.It's very difficult to create it.For me the ideal dynamice range in a production is something like GMS or Astrix jobs.From curiousity:In what kind of system are you listening?Would like to know cause really bothers me when you said its tiresome to listen after a while.Glad you find it's trippy.One of my main mood.Think that the words clinical and sharp aren't so...
Really thanx for the listening and your thoughts.

@@ Axolotyl @@

Hi Axo.Don't know if Promethious is pos or neg cause don't know him...The fx is malstrom subtractor connected with delay and reverb.Some touching at algo and dec.
Hope to trip you pal.For the mark that you said...any ideas?

@@ Airi @@

I explain about kick (must listen it to a huge system).I like your tip.Will try it.

Thanx body.

heh... YES!! A1 minimal...
deep bassline... ;) around 1:30
kewl dark and trippy mood...
weird synth 2:42

heh... the delay on kick stays.... it adds character to your track ;)

3:47 feels like a minimal climax... (i think thats too early)
almost infected mushroom style minimal melodies... but definately unique...

heh... overall.... i'm at a minimal losss for words ;) hah... i love this...

anyway... see you later...

Trippy and dark are two words that always have in my mind.Delay at kick gives a different touch and hope people likes it.Glad you like it.

:D

Any ideas after 4:06?Smthg wrong maybe?
