Another gem
I like "Rainforest" a little more than "Savannah" for adding in the excellent rainforest FX, and other cool ambient vibes. But, similarities in your melody ideas and synth themes makes my objective side bring this down to a 9 instead of 10 ;) which is still oustanding, in my book.
Great effects in here man! The rain sample is really lush, those damp, heavy chorusy FX that play in transitions are the salsa on a great South American meal.
Despite similarities, I'm still really digging the melody theme. Another great bassline in here too, great rhythmic line, great trancey sound.
I'm really enjoying the latin/afro percussions, and the samba(?) latin rhythms. catchy, throughout -> sweet shuffling FX in one transition, and I love the triplet fill another transition later in this track around the 2:40 mark.
When I criticized you for the pad on my last review, saying it was too bland, this is the type of pad I would like to hear in breaks! However, that lead, its just hard to swallow this time....Just not my thing, XD
But that clean arpped synth that comes in section later is quite redeeming. Awesome, catchy line.
Again, fantastic work with the drums- great layering with the hi hat and shaker percussion, the high range is banging, clap is low in the mix yet audible to give room for the ethnic bits, mid range is bodacious, the kick does its job without interfering with the bassline, the low end is booming.
Mixing is exceptional once again. Full points on clarity dude.
Downloading your songs, looking forward to seeing new clips from you! :)
