An techno-ambientish song directly inspired by my friend T-balt's "Digital landscape" (coming soon on his NG profile).
I'm quite satisfied with this one (and he is also), I hope you'll like it too.

You should turn on your speakers if you have some cause there is one really heavy kick by moments that may not sound well on a basic portable computer.
Thanks for listening till the end (2'30 is not really long so try to be patient before you rate).

Comments are welcome.

EDIT : drums are softer (thanks CN)

My first impression...

...is that zero bombers really don't like you, man. We'll have to work on fixing the damage that they've done here because this is a pretty solid piece of music.

After reading Xenophaje's review and your subsequent comments, I definitely have to agree that this would make a really great boss loop! The one thing that really stands out for me is your use of stereo channels...a little thing I like to call "stereocity". This track's got it in spades, and it sounds excellent!

On the downside, I'm not really liking how 'in your face' that snare is compared to the rest of the percussion. At first I thought it was the snare itself that I didn't like, but I think it's actually just the volume of it that I find to be off-putting in most instances. When there's lots of snare it feels especially overwhelming, but hey...that's just me. :)

Overall, I really dig the mix you've got here, and I was really disappointed to see that it had a score of like .9 when I arrived! You deserve better than that, and I'm going to do what I can to see that it happens. Respect.

MadMath responds:

Yes. Receiving zeros is really annoying, Being under 1/5 after three votes is making you feel like unrespected. Actually, it's even discouraging. I'm not asking for top ratings, but something fair would help me to realize what do the song worth.
But I guess it won't stop so...

I'm glad you liked it, I was quite proud of the result, so it's nice to see it's appreciated. About the snare... I guess you are right :) It's really a kick in the face. I'll try to diminish the volume of it, and will make an edit if it's better.
Thanks again for your time, encouragements and advices.

PS : I'm still open to propositions for a boss stage, ha ha :D

Cool

Very Tense and filled with vigor. Would be great in a game as boss music.
It would have been a better idea to call this a video game song I think.
The rhythm has got a warping, evil sounding flux to it, which is good.
Right towards the end you kind of lost me. I think it would have been a way better Idea to make it loop but thats me, its your song.

MadMath responds:

Yeah you are right, now that you say so, I realize it definitely sounds like a video game music... I'm gonna make an edit and change the category.
About the end... It was the best part for me, but I can understand it's a bit different than the rest.

Thanks for the review.
I'll leave it as a song, but if someone wanna use it as a "boss music" for example (you gave me the idea :D, and I'd love to !), I can make it as a loop.
