This is my try at 'soft' trance. It has a dreamy feel to it. Can you imagine the clouds drifting away? :)

Cool!

I think that the beginning gets sort of boring after a while, but I like the middle. Its very peaceful. Nice work!

NIce work

I dont really have to point on anything beacuse DjXeon said enought, But what i like about the song is the guitar and synthwork its abit uplifting,
piano for me its kinda to high volym ,also" simpel" and its not catchy as he said, its actully getting kinda repeativ not really getting any intressting in my ears. Its nice style on bass very classic trance style, iwouldent say simpel build track beacuse iam not better self.

The trance Idea of the track is very good beacuse i love classic trance more then this new housed mixed trance. Btw only i missing is what i hearing is some string nice fine pad work, atm icant hear it :(,

keep on working " sorry for bad english i wish i was better"/ TN

FlamingFirebolt responds:

What guitar? I think you mean the sqaure lead. Fun fact, the main idea was that it would be a real guitar. But meh :(.
I think i should have used more pads but i somehow liked the feeling it gave now. It's more classic and simple. However thanks for your oppinion.

Yea I can see the clouds. Nice. Well, I actually think it's really a nice song. Nice bass and good drums. Very interesting mix man. Sounds really professional to my ears.

5/5, 10/10

Another Review From Guess Who?

Heres the review I owe you for the review of mine lol.

So... Your probably thinking OMG 7/10? WTH Dj Xeon what is wrong with you!?

Firstly... Here's what i gotta say. I thought this song was quite retro. For me it had a retro feel to it. The ideas seemed quite simple and plain. First example - Piano. Ok piano is just a simple idea, awesome, catchy, but thats how piano leads were a while ago in some old retro tunes take Children - Robert Miles for an example. Was expecting something more developed like Shipwrecked - Mike Foyle, but i can see the calm soft effect you were going for :).
Also i got the retro feel to it during the middle! Yeah here was what was going on, i was listening, then the middle at end of the main breakdown, and you introduced the new idea at 3:30, it felt like mixing 2 whole different songs together, i really thought it was a diff song, then i saw how it fitted together. But yeah kinda, gave me a retro feel, didnt see much variation as i would have liked, like a new modern touch.

Next to say is that the feel of the song. Love the break with the piano, VERY emotional feelings evoked there... Ummm the lead. This comes under criticism... LOL. Im not sure what it is, i that i wasa expecting somewhat of a different sounding lead from you in this soft song, it kinda didnt hit the x-factor for me :) When you said dreamy soft trance was kinda expecting something like above and beyond, but in a way you made it your own, which is what i like to see!

Personally for me, the tune is a good chillout song, calm and peaceful, but it couldve been made better, i'dve like to have seen a bit more ambient elements to it. You couldve taken it in quite the opposite way though and made this quite a hard dancey song, and i can hear how that version would sound, but i like what you've done with this.

Ahhh... Next. Um.. Oh yes. :)
You're quite new to the trancey scene, so i cant criticise you that much, so yeah. :). Skill wise i think this is quite a turn in your musical style and im liking what i hear, lots of nice sounds that blend really well so kudos for that.

So in conclusion of all of this, good song, reached the desired effect, but not catchy enough for me, and in ways it could have been better.

Oh, and i thought you knew better FireBolt uploading on zerobomber tuesday!! What were you thinking! Shud deduct another star from you for that!

Xeon.

P.S, you wont need to return the favour for a while yet, ive hit music rock bottom lol.

FlamingFirebolt responds:

So ve meet again mr. Xeon >: l
First of all, what's wrong with retro? I understand that's it not origenal or innovative but still :/. I can see your point though.

then what lead where you expecting :/. I think it fitted nicely, it kinda was the overall mood i was trying to get.

In short, i'm trying trance because i simply don't want to make stuff like End of Summer, even if it got popular and people thought it was good. Well i didn't :/.
I think this track and Wings is a milestone for my producing skills and i enjoy making it :). Trance is awesome. What do you think? I really did improve since 'End of summer'. And besides, i finally got some inspiration back =3. You have might hit rock bottom but i just recovered from that. So goodluck xeon hope you will produce soon.
