This song is our first successful attempt at the 5/8 time signature. Enjoy!

And let us know how we can improve!

Thanks.

This is pretty awesome, so chill.

Here. Have another review.

Ok, first off, let me say. You are trying out 5/8 time. Yes. Just, yes.

THE GOOD:
-Great 5/8 beats in there.
-Your sounds and mixing are pretty nice, as per usual.
-I love that guitar in there. Really nice job with that.
-That outro. Really, really nice.

THE NOT-SO-GOOD ('scuse me, I'm going to get VERY nitpicky here, 'cause I don't have a ton to poke at):
-I feel like the intro is a tad dull until about 0:33, I feel like it could use some other kind of tune there.
-The breakdowns at 2:02 and 2:55 seem like they're too close together to me, considering the song's style.
-No transition at 3:55? The break between the two sections seems a tad awkward.
-The tunes in this, while good, get a tad repetitive and feel somewhat uninspired after a little while - I think there should have been some different chording and different styles of tunes. Perhaps you should try some different kinds of instruments as well, more 'natural-sounding' ones. I've noticed that your music is always very electronic - why not try something with piano or more realistic strings?
-That outro. Really really nice, except for that chord at the end. I feel like it would have been better with just the bottom note.
-Finally, my one issue with the mixing, and actually, one thing I've noticed about your music in general - it is overfull. The climaxes and loud bits are mainly because of so many instruments layered together, it's hard to hear each one individually. Now, this is *not a bad thing*, if you were intending it. However, it'd be nice to be able to have a cleaner sound where all the instruments are easy to hear. I noticed in this song chiefly at around 1:45, 2:42, 4:45. They are three extremely similar-sounding parts - 1:45 and 4:45 being pretty much identical, I think.

Now, my "NOT-SO-GOOD" grouping is mainly just nitpicking. This is a really good song for me to need to do that. ;)

You've gotten a lot better, and that's just looking at the songs on this account. I checked your old account, and you've gotten a TON better compared to those.

P.S. Your songs Brooding and Eternity Remixed now have reviews, as I had promised. :)

Awesome song, brings me in a nice relaxing mood! Good job man!

RunningShadows responds:

Thanks for the review, much appreciated! Most of our stuff is pretty ambient so we do hope it's somewhat relaxing, glad to see we achieved that.

Glad you enjoyed!
