*EDIT*
This track has been moved from Drum and Bass to Ambient. I appreciated all of the comments from the dnb portion of the population. Thanks guys!~ ;)

*UPDATE*

Extended intro, for a nice build up, more meat put in the middle, and the ending with a bang.. well a soft bang. (Kudos, Crimsonknight. ;D) Also, more dnb inputted, for your hearing pleasure.

Given that the track was very loud, thanks to the statements of 4AM, I have taken the liberty of re-mixing it down. Hopefully will be better for you newgrounders out there. I didn't mean to make it loud... my mixing is usually rushed =/ So, here's the updated verison, and hopefully now all can enjoy without bleeding out their ears XD Thanks, 4AM.
I added peak controllers, and controlled the volume as best as I can so no one here can get hurt. Plus, equalized the entire track: all synths, effect, and sounds have been controlled. Absolutely no feedback what-so-ever. Increased the sound of the bells in the song, but only enough to stay inbetween the background and the forefront. Changed around some of the drum patterns, so they don't sound too glitchy, but glitchy enough to keep you entertained. Keep it real, NG~

I was working on this late last night (about 10ish, on friday)... just wanted to make a little something, you know. So I decided to start messing around with this tune that was stuck in my head... so yeah. I tried working with that... and I guess this is how it came out.
When I was first trying to make a drum and bass song out of it... it came out trance/techno-ish... and my bro and mom were talking about not inputing any drums and doing the way my bro usually does techno, you know? So yeah... I went against their opinion... and thus decided to keep pushing my limits. So... I started making chords of string synths... and I couldn't believe it myself, because I've never made chords just out of no where. So I kept working with it, using some more chords for the bass and the string synths... and this is the product of all that work.
I listened to the almost-finished product... and felt that something more was missing (and so was my mother) so yeah... you can probably guess what I added... SFX!! ;D haha. Made it sound way better. I know at first it probably sounds like... techno? Maybe? Something inbetween dnb and techno I think... but then it goes dnb all the way after a while. So no worries.
As always, criticism is greatly appreciated, good or bad, I would love to hear your thoughts. If anything seems out of place, then please do so to tell me, and I will fix it the next possible chance I get. Enjoy newgrounds, because I worked pretty hard on this one. Thank God for inspiration, and for the support of my family. Keep it real, NG~
