epic tune

keep up the good work br0 this track is epix to the max

Can't get enough of this!!

Everyday every morning, listen to this 5 times or more a day and im good. I just need tto hear it once to get my day going, they extra 7 or 8 times is cuz its just awesome. Nice varying scale runs, gives that energy powering, escalating feeling.
Detuning the piano and slowing it down at the end really adds to ending the song. But as the Black Eyed Peas say E.N.D (Energy Never Dies). Keep up the excellent work. 105D

Nice piano intro; sets off quite a brilliant pace to start with which seems to only speed up as the track progresses a little further. I think the "BooTss" beat works really well given the ferocity of the pace; a more heavy, generic drum beat would have weighed what is a relatively light melody line all the way down quite quickly.

The complexity of the melody works really well in your favour, because while you repepat it a lot, the repetitions in themselves are fewer and far between just given the sheer length of the loop itself, so it doesn't drag like it may have done with a shorter loop. Not only that, but you have breaks such as the one at 1:30ish which act as a break between the melody, but itself has a really complex melody, complete with pretty kickass pitchbends and harmony changes. When the piano comes in at 2:32 you even have a third melody coming in, which just adds to the variety more and acts as a nice transition into the main theme again. Basically, you keep it varied throughout and that's always a major plus.

Love the ending how everything kind of winds down, kind of makes me imagine as if someone was playing this on a music box as fast as they can, and as the song finished they were just exhausted, winding as slowly as they could get away with, bending all the pitches down as they went due to the decreasing speed. Brilliant melodic atrophy, there.

Catchy tune, lots of variety...what more can you want? Really good work, here.

KICK IT!

Although I'm not really digging the melodies in this one (due to personal taste - I like the oriental theme, just think there's too much chit chat on the piano - it dilutes the theme a little bit ;) ) I think all the rest is very, very good. The production value is great. The kick is awesome and all other instruments fit exceptionally well in the mix. I dig your choice of sounds giving it a retro feel while keeping the main beat nice and tight. The song is well arranged and dynamic. Keeps the listener engaged, and that matters. Nothing in the song is overused except too much notes on the main melody. Work on consistency of the main theme and you'll do great.

All in all I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work and keep posting music. There's talent there and I want to hear more :D

4/5 9/10 from me...

lol yeah, the main melody is a bit crazy with the amount of notes, but i think it kind of grows on you after a while :D

glad you liked it.

Very cool

I was impressed at how good this song turned out to be. While not the longest song, it did do a good job of holding my interest for four minutes. I could have sworn that I heard this song being used somewhere else, but apparently no one has used it here. I love this song because it brings so many styles. In the middle, I almost thought it was trying to imitate music from "Sonic The Hedgehog". It had its light parts, its dark parts, and I recognized the piano, so it all wove together to make a good song overall.
