EDIT 3-12-08: Just a thought, if anyone likes this song, you might also like my song Falling Farther (Trance Remix) which didn't make Weekly Top 5 or anything, but instead was put on the front page. :D Go to http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/107386, just don't forget to take out the space that NG adds to the URLs in descriptions. ;)

I thought I'd try a new style with this one, though it didn't turn out quite as planned... it started as a hard trance song inspired by DJ Space Raven (a remix artist, look him up) - think up to 1:25 - but past that point some uplifting trance influences started working their way in and by the end it was a nice blend of the two. :P

If you hear crackling anywhere in this song... well, all I can say is that I'm never working with these synths, or anything like them, again. >:( I spent most of yesterday working on getting it out, and I gave up and rendered a final version with hopefully little or no crackling at all.

The mixing/EQing may or may not be perfect compared to my other songs, you'll have to decide for yourself - I got a different kind of headphones midway through production which made EQing a bit of a bother. I managed to use my old headphones before making the final render but I found by that point I was more used to the new pair. XD

It has its good and bad points but I'm not going to point them out here. You decide for yourself what they are, and maybe in a response to a review I'll give my own opinions. ;)

I had to lower the bitrate a fair amount so it would fit the upload limit, though the quality difference isn't that big... if anyone wants the full-quality version, just ask. ;D

Enjoy, it's my first full (and 7 minutes, too!) original song in what feels like forever! :D

a great experience to liten to. my shit doesn't compare to what ur doing xD

all i use is an fl8 demo ;P

i desperately want fl8 producer's pack and refx nexus

one thing i can say, i love the build up to the 5:09 melody but i feel you could have brought in a bit earlier or maybe sustained it a bit longer

i still think its perfect nonetheless, so unique <3

Sorry for the late response DJ-Zoysa, I was on vacation and missed this review entirely. D:

Don't go thinking reFX Nexus is the end to your troubles now. It's one thing to have it, and it's another to use it RIGHT. ;D

I do agree about your structural criticism there though. Good thing this was produced nearly a year ago, I know better now. :D

Thanks for the review!
