who are claiming that their song is madnified. You on the other hand, are not one of them. Tis be pure madness, d00d! :P Anyway, great song, it should be in a game or something. It did get a bit repedative after a while though, try to fix that.

But still, pure madness! ^_^

Ducks?
Not too sure how it's about ducks. :P
But it sounds awesome to me. Me thinks it would make an awesome fight scene.
Good job ^,.,^
And nothing to really say about it. Like, nothing bad anyways.

hehe this one's really interesting. Lots of wobble in the reeses and wacky pitch bend shit (that one at 2:50 was crazeeee), not something i'd typically desire for when listening to a DnB song...but it fits perfectly for a crazy madness style!

and its funny because I read all the reviews. This is like Chesyre's style. Except it has more coherency, organized complexity, and oh yeah, you make your synths instead of using overused sytrus presets haha. This track is like a strangely molded clay sculpture, while some of his works are just complete blobs of clay...IMO

Intro was real nice, great opening with the sad piano melodies accompanied by the strings. Your reese texture is SICK and rigid, i feel it could use a bit more compression to really crank out that punishing sound, but still the overall sound is excellent. The beeps and clicks were some nice ornamentation, really like your spacing on the drums, bassline is nothing special but fills the gaps. Spacing on the drums is great, love the panned + phased bits and the ride cymbal rhythms were excellent.

also, keep up the great work with the drums. your patterns rock, and i especially like your acoustic oriented style, its not often you hear that in DnB. I was personally making a madness submission where I went "quarl drum style" and tried to use acoustic drums moreso than eletronic samples. so definetly an inspiration there :D

it wasnt too repetitive, but could certainly use more variation IMO. For the first half of the song, I think you could automate a little more FX on the reese, keep the same pattern playing throughout, but maybe slice it up a bit, rearrange patterns and whatnot. I think when the drums enter the scene is where it creates some of these problems. I only hear two main patterns, and the way you developed your snare rhythm sounds one the 1st pattern makes it sound like it would be the transitional pattern maybe every 16 bars or so, in turn
making the drums lacking the groove like nav said below.

One last criticism- it indeed does feel lacking in depth. after the piano and strings interlude, i didnt hear a nice background layer like I was hoping for, therefore making the second half of the song sound not proportionally climatic/epic to the first half. i'd personally keep the strings flowing into that section, make them a bit wider through a stereo enhancer, a chorus effect, a build some chords to really fill out a deep lower end.

keep kicking ass and good luck to you too bro :D
