Just take this song, and get rid of the drops. The drops seem messy, out of place, and, to be honest, somewhat annoying and hard for the ears. I feel this way for many of your new releases, such as Jnana. In my opinion, you should either go all dubstep, like in Tria, or go all orchestral. This is just my opinion, and I know many people disagree. Despite this, I will always be a big fan.
Reviews for "Xtrullor & HeliXiX - Universal Expression"
I like the atmospheric vibe at the beginning. It’s very spacious and majestic. It’s a little slow to progress, but at the same time has a great sense of climax. The phrasing in this piece is also excellent. The way it melts back to a mellow simmer at 1:40 is just engrossing. The drop was itself was very interesting. You guys made some really interesting decisions with the sound design here - combining the smooth orchestral sounds and gritty synths was risky, but I think it paid off. Excellent job incorporating dynamic contrast and structural variety into the piece. The part at 3:55 is probably my favorite - it has so much tension, and offers an excellent platform for the final climax to emerge. I might mention that the lack of coherence as something to be cautious of in the future, but all the transitions were so well-crafted that I’m not going to take off any points for that. The production quality is super high, btw, and I absolutely love the warm chords that seep in at around the 5-minute mark. Gorgeous work, my friends. DL’d and favorited.
9.75/10
Half-time piece in what's already considered to be a slow tempo for Dubstep music. Interesting choice, really. Your orchestral sections are as high-quality like film scores as always.
Can't wait to see what else you put out with HeliXiX.
03:52 Jesus that bass is so good, Xtrullor. Love the atmosphere and the tempo of it. Truly epic
very nice =)
