I agree with invosodude, the bass-line is to commun, but the overall is kickass!!! Keep up the good work!!!

waterflame, I no longer favorite your music, I favorite you.
I love this song, but the only problem is its unoriginal, ive heard over 150 songs with that bass-line, im completely seriouse to way to many songs use it, i would like it more if it was more of a waterflame song and less of a standard song
So this starts off as an uplifting trance song with a very standard chord progression and a very standard drum beat - those core elements are not very original at all (the chord progression in particular is becoming a bit of a joke), but the instrumentation and variation around the tried and true trance formula is what gives the first half of the song its charm and character. Despite the song having a bit of a thicker and richer mix than most of your collection, the simple orchestral instruments are still a dead giveaway :) Almost seamlessly, then, it transforms into a more dramatic, soundtrackesque and breakbeat-oriented piece that's more reminiscent of your previous submission. The instrumentation is mostly the same, but the playing style is more vigorous and the pizzicato and sampled drumbeats help making some variation.
I personally really liked this song structure and how you were able to create a big contrast despite the instrumentation not changing much. A bit different than the standard single-genre formula and I think that's a good thing.
The mix is fine too most of the time, loud and clear. The low mids are a bit dominant in the latter half perhaps. There aren't really any big issues here. Overall a mighty fine submission.
9.0/10
NGADM 2 and stuff.
I'm not so sure I'd be disappointed with what you came out with in comparison to what you were trying to originally achieve. This sounds great, and I'm a big fan of hybrid songs like this, and these styles of songs are obviously a strength for you, as it was done very well, and it was a pleasure to listen to.
Really, I think the only downside is that it felt pretty cluttered here and there and could have used a bit more mixing to help bring everything together into a unified piece. Most notably, I think the orchestral stuff was often overshadowed by the kick, which made it difficult to focus on at times.
Regardless, very cool, and well done. 8/10.
