Score: 9
"interesting..."
date: May 14, 2007
to say the least, i'm gonna admit to you now i aint a massive trance fan but i will try my best here.
The opening of the track was pretty nice, i loved that lo-fi piano that distorts slighty. tho the percussion sounded a bit 'midi-ish' tho not totally, it was almost a bit too polished too.
the actually trance section is good, nice melody lines and arpeggios, if a bit generic in synth choice for the genre but thats what works, the strings compliment the mix very nicely. standard 2-step beats, one of the hats rings out too much tho. theres a lot of drama once the scond strings kick in as well.
The final section ends nicely, back with the piano, tho theres a bit a distort which i think detracts here rather than adds. Its a good track nonetheless.
production wise, reason is very handy at this, pretty much guarenteed a good mix. pans are good, and the dynamics are spot on, plenty of light and shade.
Personally i wouldn't listen to this again, just not my stuff, but it's good . i think 4/5 is about right for it too.
keep it up, let me know if you need any more reviews.
