I like the cutesy mallet instrument at the beginning, but it sounds a tad indistinct in the mix, especially when the rest of the atmosphere fills in at :16. The kick at :31 also has a lot of treble tones for my tastes. The piece is certainly very catchy, and overall I really like the sound design. The main melody at :47 is great, but the instrument that plays it sounds a bit cheesy. The beat at :54 sounds nice and crisp, and that layered snare was a great choice. The ghostly atmosphere at the breakdown at 1:18 is pretty sweet, although I think the transition back into the refrain at 1:49 could’ve been a bit more smooth and gradual. Overall, I’m really liking the upbeat mood, instrumentation, rhythmic content, and atmosphere of this one, idimension! Keep it up. ^_^

Nice intro here. I'm really appreciating the rides and hihats. They fit in nicely.

At 00:36, I see you're really putting MT Power Drum Kit to good use. I used to hate that thing.

Interesting transition into 4 on the floor kick through 1:00. I never would have expected that. I think you could have used a transition noise there to smooth that out and signal it better.

1:32 sounds great.

I think I actually would have preferred a final drop without the club elements. Or at least keeping the hihat groove you had been developing on other sections. Actually, yes, I feel that's what I miss here.

Otherwise, really enjoyed the piece. Great work!

Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
