"Goodies"

I already talked to you on MSN regarding this track a while ago but I'll review it too.. I first thought it started off kinda slow, but listening the second time around I can really feel a groove with it and easily let it loop without getting tired of it.
Some very good synth production as expected from you Nav! The square (?) ones you open with fits well in the buildup. I really enjoyed the backing chord progression too, as it was my favorite part and element of the track. It was one of the chord progressions that stuck really well with me. and when the snare rims came in, I had to get up and dance a bit. The rest has a real crisp, refreshing trance sound.
as far as it sounding spacey, not a whole lot much IMO- as I'm used to space music having weird, creepy synths and dissonant melodies and such. It does have a sort of a friendly type of farewell feel to it tho, so I guess it could be used in a scene where a spaceship takes off from Earth. It actually reminds me a bit of the old school Streets of Rage series for the Genesis.
nice samples and mixing too, I dont think I can find a complaint with this one. Other than the bassline was pretty simple and repetive, but I didnt find that to be a problem really.
I really do like this track so I think I'm going to reorganize my positions tonight and put this in my top 4. Keep on it, I hope to hear more from you soon.

Haha, sorry about the title. Rig made it. I thought it fit, but then again: I was thinking of mathematical "Space," and a simple sequence, of numbers (or chords)!
Thanks for the great review! :)
P.S. Yep, that's a square!
