Nice job!!

My first impression was "Damn this is awesome!". But there are some things I don't like about it.

First off, I liked the original layer that you used in the demo that you sent me better. I did like the vocals they were pretty cool. I also liked the acid synth. It was pretty freakin awesome. And I love the melody that you put in after it got all calm then went back to epic. But again, I liked that original layer better.

And, I wasn't really very fond of the kick, but that's your style. I personally like more solid kicks (LOL that sounds wrong), but that's just me.

Overall, this was a pretty awesome song. A longer one for your standards.

9/10

Surprising quality and complexity!

Consider me a fan. It's a rare thing to come across quality big beat/house music in the free-scene. The author manages to pack a lot of variation into four and a half minutes. If you haven't listened through the whole song, you might want to!

Ethalyn responds:

''If you haven't listened through the whole song, you might want to!'' Were you asking me? xD

But hey dude, thanks! Means alot =)

my review...

I just had a preview of your other stuff to see where you've come from and know you've had some time with FL. Some of your stuff is quite impressive compared to how long you were doing it for, but others I'll just say are good "building blocks."

What I would do to this song:

take out the whole hard dance thing, or take out the whole soft part of the song. I mean, it's nice to variate, but it seems like you are putting way too much into this song. Also, the whole soft side to the song could turn into a great trance track, which is more down my alley of expertise, one could say, but I"m not the best one to tell you how to approach this kind of genre, if there could be a labeled genre, like you say above.

Also, the end part of the song kinda seems abrupt and sounds like you just didn't know how to expand this song and kinda just left it off and kept it as a "song."

So, the things that I'd do if you really want the most out of this track:

- Split the hard stuff and the softer stuff into two different tracks. You should then have progressive trance and hard dance. Play with that and see where it takes you both ways, both may get top 5, this one did...

- See about the beginning area. I felt that the distorted instrument in the intro was a bit random and caught me off guard. I wasn't at all expecting it and sorta put me off.

- Make both songs smoother. You don't have to make everything for the ADD impaired. It's nice to have that kind of music, but other people have time to listen to music and kinda take it all in.

- The ending had no apparent path to it, and ended a bit awkward. I felt that you could have expanded on that and made it a bit smoother, kinda like sanding those little details of the almost-finished product.

I've noticed in your review responses that you put two weeks on this. I've personally done songs like that and sometimes the longer you put into a song can actually ruin it. From my personal experience, it definitely helps in almost all situations, but some others it doesn't and just twists your plans for the track.

Keep making music, and I look forward to hearing your stuff in the future.

if anything here dones't make sense to you, send me a PM. Thanks.

Ethalyn responds:

Thanks for the review man =)

And about the genres crossing over, i like doing it sometimes. Sometimes i just want to mix ALOT of ideas into one song and just mix it into a long mix. And about the ending, the beat breaks down to the intro, and then gets calmer and calmer and at the end is just drums and bass. A breakdown ending is pretty normal but if it didnt sound right to you i just guess it didnt =P Its like some like the calm part interfearing, and some dont =P Personally i kinda do x) Lol.

And yeah i like speed in my music, if i were to make songs that were repetitive, i think i would have to go for ambient, because in hard dance/hands up - i like to have variaton and lots of ''cool'' stuff =P

But dude, thank you so much for the critisism and the long review, i will definatly keep all those words in mind when making a new song =)

Thanks!
