A hard driving electronic track, featuring heavy drums, and a slick synth solo.

"Cool."

date: April 2, 2008

While musically I'm not a huge fan of this track, I have to admit it was damn cool to listen to. In terms of using this in say, a videogame, it would be kickass.

Production-wise, this was slick. A really heavy pumping feeling from all the compression and what sounded like some kind of sidechain ducking going on? The verbed-out bass in the beginning was nice and ominous (in a totally non-evil way haha) and reminded me hugely of one of the early tracks heard in the city in Half-Life 2 that starts very similarly, further evoking the city feel that the title of the song suggests.

I feel like after a while the song is suffocating your ears though, maybe some breaks, cuts, or some kind of headroom could be cleared intermittently with the more packed section from 1:40ish - 2:40ish.

Overall, in one word, COOL. Keep it up.

"This song's mood is awsome"

I can just imagine just like in one of those action movies where the camera shows the lab or HQ like a tour (especially from 0:00-1:29). You really captured the 'Scanning' mood with this song, and for that i admire this piece of work. Try and create more songs that incorporate moods cause you seem to be good in that.

I could easily imagine this being in a game. Excellent. The drums are really good with plenty of feel.

"Fucking Awesome"

date: October 9, 2006

Wow, I am very impressed with this track. Everything has its parts and fit in great.

I love that solo part in the middle song, it goes in perfectly and almsot reminded me of something from pink floyd.

I love the drum samples and the beat. The bass is nice and fits in properly. The melody is great.

The title paints a nice picture of the song. I could imagine some kind of futuristic city.

I loved every part of this piece and I'm defently downlaoding this.

5/5
10/10

Author's Response:

Thanks for your response! I'm glad you enjoyed the song.

As for the drums, it isn't a sampled loop, but a drum track I programmed myself, then processed heavily to get the sound you hear in this version. ;)

Thanks again, and I'll try to get some more stuff uploaded here in the near future, and hopefully find myself in a few submissions on the site.
