Cool

Very good stuff, especially for a first submission! Really well developed melodies, especially the piano part. The phasing background strings created an interesting good atmosphere, somewhat mysterious. Loved the lead teasing at 3:16, really gave it a special edge. Very nice chord progressions, with very fitting bass-lines, and well-accentuated drums (the snare sound was really good, I generally dislike the white-noiseish type, but this on had that comfortable *smack* sound).

The song evolves in a very good way, and develops through all of the sounds, notably the lead and strings. Liked it a lot, really good trance stuff. Very stage-worthy, could be played on any party and pass as a world-known DJ's song.

Great work, I'm glad you decided to put some audio on NG after all!

this is great. true trance right here ^^

at first i was like meh i don't have high expectations for this but you really drove it through with the sfx, perc, and pads all running at the same time. most of the instruments are very high quality and you have a nice atmosphere of ambiance and airiness. i liked it. your kick had the nice ... "wuhmp wuhmp" thing going but it could have been stronger. and the whole time. i was wondering. damn when is the bass gonna come in. then i realized my sub woofer was down and little bit... turned it up and still i could barely hear it. you should pump that up in the climax.
5/5 obviously. this should be 1st on the weekly best in my opinion. this is waaayyy better than g-R's song... no offense to him but you put a lot more effort into this and it shows!
im working on a trance song now and i might finish it soon. ill pm you for some advice on it if you have the time or if i ever do finish it.

Sure thang neon.

I was a bit unsure about the bass aswell, most of the time when I do bass it's overly loud on the monitors in my room next door so I toned it down but didn't check it, so I wasn't sure if the levels were right or not. Another guy said the kick could be stronger aswell, I think that the level I have it at right now is too loud to let the pads takeover and create atmosphere but too quiet to creat a phat beat, if you know what I mean? kind a like a compromise between the two. I might fix this song up in the future.

Thanks fo the review n it'd be great if I could give you some advice :)

best newground dance artist by miles

simply stunning,i've heard in years amazing things and remixes from games,original songs,etc,but when it came to real DANCE,trance,it all sounded so...amateur..so midi,So old fashioned,not to dish on others work cause everybody here has so much talent,but you are on another level,i would so buy a trance album from you! amazing tracks all of them.
