I'd say the tune itself is a lot less cheesy than you give it credit for - the bass is quite interesting and the synths aren't too overblown either (although they ARE utterly repetitive). I'd say you could actually have a pretty good track here with some reworking.
Oh, and the title... really now? |
I have to agree with this. It's definitely not as cheesy as you hinted to in your original post. You haven't gone for the obvious chords and ridiculous synths.
I do think the drums should be more prominent in a breaks track though and I think the song is just too long. With some changes I think you're onto a good one:) |

I guess this is just my opinion Eddie but, I love this new version - is brilliant man (as I said before "Dancing Fantasy") just great track.
Left some comments on SC.
Cheers. |

You and Mr. Mystery may have given me one of the best compliments I've had, in a while. A few years ago, I couldn't get away from 'cheesy'. I'd put out a song which I thought was masterpiece material, sure to be timeless against the fads that come and go and was immediately crushed when someone told me it indicated delusions of granduer. ;)

As always, thanks for the kind words. I'm certainly not dismissive of them. This song is one that I've had the hardest time with, in a long time and I think that tends to color my perception of it. It had me diving into a few new techniques, such as listening on other sound-sources like my HDTV, to try and refine the mix that I hadn't with other songs, and also coping with some technical issues I was having with my new system. Both of these revealed some weaknesses in my process which I'll be devoting some attention to, rolling forward.
Regardless, I'm glad you like it. |

I don't think this is cheesy at all mate. I really like it, its got a great vibe, cool melody, love some of the synth sounds.
On the negative, I do think the mix needs some work. The bass and drums sound like they need cleaning up, the hats more definition and the kick needs to cut through a bit more.
Asides from that, no complaints, a really enjoyable tune. Good work! |

On the contrary, I don't find it cheesy, either. Sorry for echoing the others, but it's true.
Great bass work and synths. I really like the melodic side as well. This would certainly work well in a video game.
Indeed, it is repetitive, but this time it doesn't bother me. I didn't mind hearing the same elements all the way through.
I'll be grabing this one for sure! |

| What a classy tune, great melody, it keeps me goin till the end. Your good at breaks. i can't make a break tune myself hehe |

| Yeah, I like this one too. The melody and groove are quite infectious - I like the way the bass and drums lock into a really tight groove. I also like that weird little vocal-ish effect. The track is great for background listening. I have to admit, though, that it is too long and repetitive for my tastes - I have a shorter attention span than my 3yo has, but it wouldn't be a classic EZ track if it was under 9 minutes, now, would it? :p |

I like the premastered version more. It's more open, and sounds a bit cleaner.
After listening for a little bit longer:
There's this autopanned sound at around 4 minutes that doesn't really fit the ambiance. The song kind of drags on for a while. |

Thanks, guys. I'm happy you all like what you like about the tune and I appreciate the critiques, too.
@ cryo: ;) No, it wouldn't. :disbelief
It's almost an accidental trademark though and I do make exceptions :D |

Good tune Eddie, really lovin it and Downloadin it:D
My only complaint will be that its too long, these kind of tracks needs to keep the listener with a taste of more in my opinion. |

Thanks, man. Totally picked up my mood, yesterday, to see the one download after my Soundcloud counter reset for the beginning of the week. :D (yeah, I know - silly, but still)
Are you talking about building more to a play on a sense of mystery with that statement or is it just to infer that once the song peaked, it should have ended or brought on something bigger? |

Hmmmm...its hard for me to explain, i definitely love the concept and starcture of the track, i just feel like some parts are too long.
I'm sure you had the chance to hear a good track once in a movie\video game OST album where you were saying "wtf?! why did it end so fast?! this is too soon...i want to hear that again!"
I think that you can cut about 2.5+ minutes from the track to make it less tiring on the mind.
Those clicks in the beginning are kinda in the way for me to enjoy the track a bit more...maybe they are too raw i don't know (reminds me a bit of that PCF filter in Rebirth - that would be great on those clicks :stongue: ).
Again, great track.
Hope i wasn't too harsh. |
