"bass gets a bit dull."
date: August 1, 2008
Overall, this was just straddling an uncomfortable position - it wasn't quite engaging or intricate enough for me to enjoy sitting, listening and wasn't furious or 'passionate' enough to inspire me to get up and dance.
I love the slow synths at the start.
The bass that pops in at :24 and continues on throughout the entire piece is a bit overpowering - specially when it gets to 1:20-2:00. It just sorta made that part seem really repetitive to me and didn't sound passionate enough to be repeated so many times. I'd rather have been able to hear the synths and whatnot you've got on top.
The :30 - :50 part is way cool though. Love the sorta semi-staccato break-beat-y sound.
Ending was cool too.
but maybe either add more fury or more intricacy and a touch more gentleness - with this tune straddling the 2 sides, it currently fails at both imo.

Thanks for your review, I find critisism very hard to take on this song though as it's my personal favourite. I've taken on board what you've said though and I can see what you mean, I haven't really got the hang of mastering yet so I could be hearing it very differently to you, I do need to work on varying the bass a little though.
Thanks again for your review
