"Woah, good."

I liked the subtle crowd noise in the beginning. It made the track stand out instantly, whereas without it, the very basic bass line would have left a poor first impression.

The piano, in particular, is very good. It was a very wise decision to only have the piano going at parts-because if it had played that melody over and over the entire song through it would have gotten pretty tired. The string sounds are good, the synths are good, the percussion and bass are good, if a bit pedestrian in composition. Most importantly, all the parts in this song play very well together, and they form a really energetic, danceable song with a nice melody. Top notch stuff, much better than most of the stuff on here by far, and its only your second submission!

All that said, I do have a problem with how unoriginal this track is. You do the whole dance-y techno energetic track extremely well, but there isn't much more to it than that. There isn't really anything in here that I haven't heard before, or that made me sit up and go "!, that's an amazing idea", you know? Still, this is only your second submission, so it could very well be that you are getting the fundamentals down (and they're here, leaps and bounds over lots of other stuff) but I hope in future tracks that you really try to think out of the box and make something that is completely your own.

Anyways, a very nice, energetic track, keep it up.

"Right on."

date: August 14, 2007

It does sound warm and nice. I like songs like this. The piano definitely goes great with the rest of the song. It's very nice. I don't use much piano anymore... I have to bring it back.

Well done here.

"good!"

by: SBB
date: August 14, 2007

Though the cliched title, this song is a better one among the lotta shit in the NGAP. I loved the kinda orchestral sounding filtered lead. I wish you had a fltered version of it going while it was on top. Kinda cheerful song, everything sounds happy- Not so sure if it's warm though. The base isn't too good. there's no modulation, effects or anything on it, so it sounds pretty boring. For the drums, you've done a pretty good job for techno/trance/dance drums, a repetitive beat but not only the boring kick-hat-snare-hat pattern

Good job on the song, it'd be nice with a review for my latest audo thing :)
