This is a HUGE achievement for me! I've been trying to pass the 6 minute mark for a while, and lately I've felt stuck as I've only been making short loops and previews... but I managed to make a NINE minute song complete with standard club structure for optimal mixing! :3
This song is very progressive, and doesn't really have a distinct climax. I was going for a very smooth flow. Let it carry you away. It's a mixture of Progressive House, Downtempo Breakbeat, Ambient, with some Progressive Trance influences thrown in. I was really trying to push myself with something new here.
THIS SONG IS AVAILABLE FOR HIGH QUALITY DOWNLOAD
I had to export it at 112 kbps to get it to fit on Newgrounds. Get a 320 kbps mp3 at http://soundcloud.com/gre gmann/network-1 Just click the button that says "download" under the title.
Very interesting.
I personally love this song, It always to be changing on me which keeps me listening to it. I also love that you gave this song length. I see a lot of songs in the AP that are too short to fully enjoy it. This song on the other hand, never got boring throughout the entire song. The song flowed very well all together, You didn't switch into a different part to suddenly. Truly a song deserving of a 10 if not better.
Agree'd with Mich.
You keep it moving for sure. I like the movement of this song for sure. Considering you requested a five from me on this song i'll say you got it just from me listening to it. You've added enough to this song so that it doesn't get boring to the ears. It flows along rather nicely. Lovely choice of instruments. Great work with this track in general. IT is one of those songs i can close my eyes and just imagin. Wich in my opinion is a good thing. Music is emotion, music should tell a story and let the imagination run wild. So for that you get your five. Great job on this.

Extra ordinary!
And the length! Perfect man! Really good intro, i like the reversed snare alot man!
Everything in this fits together, and it would raelly be top 5 of the week worthy ;]
Was this the one u made for the EP, but was too long?
Helth
5/5
Hope u can use my positive critism =D
Thanks for the review :)
Yeah actually it started as a personal project but I thought I could fit it onto the EP... I'll have to use something else.
And reversed snare? Not sure what you're talking about. Only snare is those 4 snares that echo... or do you mean the sound on the first upbeat of the 1st, 3rd, 5th etc measure right after the kick? That's just a weird sounding kick sample I found and EQ'd :P
And we'll see if this gets top 5 >>
Non-generic, original, interesting.
I must say you must've had quite a bit of inspiration to pull this one of, mister Greg.
The song keeps on changing, stays interesting.
It starts off with some low passed drums, breakbeat-ish, and you keep on adding more and more to the mix. The more or less raw bass is slightly annoying at first, but when there's some more around it, it fits in nicely. Maybe you could've put a minor Low pass filter on there (cutoff just around 75% or so).
The break comes in smoothly, some 'basic', rather... 'simple' sounding synths play, and a nice bassy pad comes in. Really nice atmosphere.
Even though there's no real climax like stated yourself, it stays interesting.
I'm trying to figure out which genre would fit best for this song, though you made it so original that I fail. Nav would definitely find a genre though (lol).
Anyway, what else can I say... aha. At 4:34 a supersaw reaches its full cutoff. I think you could've added a very light flanger or perhaps ah chorus effect on there, right now it sounds a little bit raw. Or nevermind that, I was just looking for something to critise =P.
Mastering and mixing is overall great. So yeah, top class song for me.
10/5/download
Hope to hear more soon!

Thanks for teh quality review ;D
I did have a lot of inspiration from loads of stuff lol, a lot of stuff here is directly inspired by certain songs (spanning different genres, I guess that's why it sounds pretty original)
I kind of thought the same thing about the bass, but since there's lots of low end in it it's actually a lot better on speakers, sounds damn nice :o I have a lot of trouble with basses sometimes but I surprised myself with this one :)
I think with the supersaw the problem is it doesn't sound stereo or full enough. So yeah chorus might help, thanks for the suggestion.
And yeah overall I was going for a more minimal feel so I kept the synths pretty simple and stuff, glad you liked it!
I agree with ................
