Well, I haven't submitted a song in nearly five months, and I feel that I have finally composed something worthy of an upload : )

I feel that I put a lot of lovely sounds into this song. I love the wavelengths in here, and I feel that the song structure has a lot of potential.

It's still a bit rough 'round the edges, specifically later on in the song with the final melody, and I'm working on creating a driving bassline to accompany it (like the one Mat Zo used in Ellipse. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the song, but it's absolutely wonderful, and I gained inspiration for the final section of this song from it. I highly recommend it; it can be found on Anjunabeats Volume 7 (the artist name is Activa pres. Solar Movement).

Anyways, this song has really tired me out, and I'm going to take a break from it to work on a little dub hip-hop project of mine. I will look to finish it later when my mind is clearer, so I can give it a proper ending (by ending I mean final minute, not just 10 seconds).

Thanks for caring,

heh

Basically what this guy say the intro is just way too freaking long. No one will download such melody but it is ok for listenining

Kewl.

In short, the beginning part was awesome but the rest of the song doesn't quite live up to it. I love those chords in the pad you used, and combining it with that clap and hihat sounds great. I don't quite get the shift/control thing, but it sounds cool haha.
Once it quieted down, I kept waiting for it to come out into a big hit with maybe a tempo increase. It did change, but it took too long. The last part needs a little work I think, you did imply that this was a work in progress so I think you should add a lead synth in there carrying a melody. And instead of having it build for a couple bars then go back down a few times, the whole thing should be building the whole time up until where the song ends now. And then for that ending you're talking about... I don't know haha just make it sound cool, you clearly have the skill.

So I probably over-did that. But I'm really hearing a lot of cool stuff in this, and I'd like to hear it when you've put that ending on it. Shoot me a PM when you finish it :D

Thanks for the review : )
Thanks for the advice, I might shorten the middle part. The majority of work I've got left to do on this is the lead synth at the end. I really like the -pause-kick- section, but I need to look to add a melody from there. I'll be sure to shoot you a PM if I ever get this finished, as I have an awful of leaving works in progress unfinished. Once again, thanks for taking the time to review, it means a lot.
