That was great !
This song is really quite an accomplishment, although I don't really think it belongs in industrial, but hey, that's just my opinion. I loved all the sounds in it. Besides it being a slightly repetetive, the song is perfect! Great job!
Thanks for the review, glad you liked it!
Industrial though?
Good work. No: solid work.
I'll say this short and sweet - you have used the most generic chord scheme ever. You used a lot of clever tricks to disguise that, but I'm not that easily fooled. ;) It's really quite a cheap way to inflict pathos into a tune - most people will totally love that but it just bugs me because I know you can drag the listener along without resorting to generic harmonization!!
Your production is outstanding, of course. Excellent convincing beat, the kick could have had more body, but people always tell me I make my kicks too loud so disregard that if you will. A wide variety of synths and instruments, even a synthetic choir that you have very modestly mixed to the background. Kudos, kudos.
You're lucky I love modulations, that earns you Diversity and Originality points...
Therefore on the whole, as an exercise in arranging and producing, it's perfect. As a work of art I don't like it at all and I hope you put some of your outstanding compository talents into your future dance tracks. (I'll have to check some of the other ones btw, this may be completely incidental.)
Hope I didn't come over too harsh, but I'm sure you know that I have lots of respect for your work and therefore can take a hit or two :P
Foured.
First off, no comment from you will ever be too harsh, you put up with a lot of nagging from me :).
As for the chordal scheme, that was definitely a weakness in the original 10 months ago when I original made it. I did as much as I could to mask it as you said, but hey, it's a remix not a new song, so not TOO much I can do about it now, except learn from the big mistake. And I'll certainly not do it again, the wrath of WinTang on one song is enough for now :).
Again, another compliment with the production. Thanks! It makes me wonder why I think it's so bad, I must just be going crazy. I just hear so much going on, and I don't like it, but I can't take anything out or the piece sounds empty. This is one of the hardest pieces I've ever had to produce, but I'm glad I did a good job in that, because that was my main goal of the piece!
Unfortunately, towards the beginning of my electronic journey, I got a lot of influence by artists like BOUNC3 and Chainsaw_09, who tend to use the very catchy chord progressions, so that's what I tried to imitate. The are both excellent artists, so I don't intend on hitting them in any way.
I have a few electronic tracks that are much different, perhaps I'll upload one someday to prove that I can write electronica with a more original chordal structure.
Thanks for all your reviews and support! I'll try to please more next time :)
Smashing good time...
HAHA!!! I absolutely love that breakdown into half-time. Your drums sound dirty but crisp all at once. Great job on percussion all around. The synth that "rains" down at that point is perfect.
I'm digging they delay time on your piano part. I wanna hear more of that. Of course, I'm a piano guy so that's that...
The only suggestions I have would be about EQing and sound production. I would definitely bring that bass out more at times. Or make that jumping lead stab a bit harder. All your pieces are well written and work together like champs, but they could be more powerful. I'm not sure if it's EQ or timbre selection. Good stuff either way Orr!

This one is quite catchy here, Sir Maestro
You've garnered my intent
Dancing With The Ancients was so-so
This one was better, bent
There wasn't much to complain about, at first.
The beats are mem'rable
In terms of "complex," this one wasn't the worst
Nor terms of "enjoyable."
I do complain, though: try to attempt much more!
I'm sure you could compete
With the revolutionaries, to be sure,
Making more than just a beat.
(Sorry the verse was a bit awkward; I had much to say, but didn't want to break my 3-verse standard. Excellent internet piece, yes: why not try innovating with your music, going past pop music and into experimentation? Message me if you have any concerns.)
I like these poetic reviews, very creative!
Thanks for the review, it's always fun to read what you have to say!
Thats about the best song intro i have ever heard!
Seriously, i liked the intro very much. but to be honest, the rest of the song was a little blurry, and everything pasted together. I didnt like it that much. i give this song a 7, and thats purely because the superb intro. Try to create more songs with exactly desame intro. it rocks....rocks EXTREMLY much :D
