Score: 7

Nice reversed intro. You're really fond of that lead synth. The melody is very nice. I think the rave synth really lacks power in this song. I like to use those kind of supersaws as huge leads, but you're using is as a sort of backdrop, so it's a bit weird for me. The beat is kinda underwhelming, too, although it's technically competent, with everything mixed nicely (including non-percussion instruments, for that matter). Hmm...I don't know why I'm so skeptical of this song. The piano is okay, but I'm not sure it works perfectly against the lead synth part. Also, the lack of variation in the underlying melody makes this song pretty dull, excepting the key change at 1:36 followed by the nice section with a new melody at 1:50. That was a good change. The piano part against it sounds pretty good at first, especially on the high notes, although towards the end of the melody, as the supersaws are fading back in, it feels like a melodic stretch to me. That supersaw line really irks me, by the way. Not enough variation, and it overrides the variation in the melodies, which isn't actually all that much, come to think of it. Sorry for such a critical review. Still though, it sounds pretty good, although it really needs more movement. Keep it up!

Thanks, critical is good if I know that the person is sincere =p. I will keep your advice in mind when I work on my new stuff.
