Nice work, its got a groovy retro feel and a nice solid bassline that keeps it moving along nicely. I'm a real sucker for all the 80s sounding stuff too.
Atmospherics are great, and I'm now thouroughly intimidated as far as my own tracks, its just that complex.
Definately send it around, I'd love to hear this on a dance floor. |

hey, comments as i listen...
the bass sounds kinda plain, can't hear too much lows there. also too mono for my taste.
the pads are nice and add a cool atmosphere to the track. also nice fxs.
the hats are cool. i'd like a punchier kick.
like the distorted melody that comes in at 2.13
cool melody at 2.40....nice synth sound.
just noticed that the arrangement of the track doesn't include a standard break. not sure if it's good or bad.
overall it's a fine piece of music. what bothers me the most is the sound quality, it sounds "old" also a bit centered. note that it's not muddy and the mixdown sounds ok.
thanks for sharing! ;) |

| Hey, Aaron, this track is really good! Actually, everything I've listened to that you produced is fantastic. I'm glad I didn't miss this. |

| Thanks, that's sweet. :) Although I've got plenty of garbage tracks and half-tracks kicking around, I just don't pass those ones out! |

Hola Digi! Great you posted something finally! :)
I like this little 80's touch in the intro:) hmmmm :) sounds lovely so far :)
nice work on the glitch effects, they are really adding to the track (they are not the kind many people seem to use now, let's add some glitching for the wow effect! yours are better)
I like that distorded guitar like lead ... overall I think sometimes the tracks get a bit too busy, if you get what I mean...for example that video-gameish melody ... I would leave out that background sound for a little while, to get the listener adapted to the new theme...if you get what I mean...
so far 9/10 for the lovely nostalgia of the 80's atmosphere :) |

theres definately a lot going on in this track..
imo the bass needs more low and less high.. takes up too much space the way it is, makes everything a tad chaotic when everything is going on..
other than that its a pretty cool track :D |

@dj_alfi: I'm sorry, but I don't agree...I think it makes it kinda spontaneous sounding...the busy"ness" of the track should be lowered by some other change :)
at least that's how I see it (y) |

spontaneous sounding? not really sure what you mean..
but i also feel that the track lacks a lot of bass, which is really imo what club music is about.. anyways, equing the bass so it would be less hi freqs and more low's would solve two problems.. thats why i suggested it.. |

| it just makes me feel that the author of the track has thought more of the composition than the production...which is what made pre 1999 trance so greatly emotional. |
