It's a trance song which transforms into a house song. Hope you enjoy :D

Nice transition

It starts off a bit generic, but the beat is very nice.
Good thing that the "genericness" is replaced by a very nice melody at around 0:15.

The transition in the middle of the song is very nice, it comes a bit unexpected but it really fits in there. I also like how you start the second part of the song out of a "rewind" sound. I think you did a good job there.

However, the second part of the song doesn't sound as good as the first part in my opinion. While the beat and the kick are still nice there are no melodies anymore. I'm not an expert when it comes to house music, but I think even in house you have melodies from time to time. ^^

Box-Killa responds:

yeah the bass was the melody lol. Hey there was some slight melody in there with a fast sorta cutting synth, and a pad. dont know what you mean.

What's the difference?

A great blend of the two, despite the fact that I'm still oblivious to the difference between the two styles here. I think that you've got some real talent for these genres and with three phases that you subtly change to, with the rewind and the fade out / fade in, it all seems to come together nicely.

I think that you've got a great sense of being able to convey difference pieces within a piece here and I'd suggest for the main part that you give us two or even three different pieces as expansions of the samples that you've got in here. If I could hear each piece that sounds like it belongs in a song of its own on its own, you'd be onto even more of a winner here, I feel.

house?

try madness! a new tricky theme? O.o its great!

Nice beat... However dies near the end

Hello,

I liked your use of dynamic sounds, and the music had a real pulse to it...
Which I enjoyed, however when the music "slowed down" near the middle I felt it hurt the piece.

The second half didn't compliment the prior half well, to be more specific there wasn't a good transition in the change of pace of the song. Which made the music seem uneven to me.

Still it wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as I felt it could have been.

You do have some serious music skills,
so I'll look forward to hearing some of you other stuff.

Sincerely,
- Celx

Nice effort

Nice effort you've put into this song!! it's noticeable from beginning to end and it's really something you can appreciate from this song. Nice thought of mixing some house and trance together. but this idea kind of went wrong and Ill explain why. But first, this songs got strong points, but there are a lot of things that i found a bit out of place.

Strong points:
- Nice use of all the instruments! Although some sound better then others, they all fit the mood and the style. except maybe for one certain instrument, but i will get back to that later in the weak point section.
- Nice use of all the effects, although i think some of the synths could have been more reverbed, the overall sound that the effects give to the song is great. That includes all the ambientish pads with the reverb effects. Even if there isnt really that much, it still makes a huge difference in my ears.
- Nice and original transitions. even if they dont always exactly have anything to do with the song. (I will talk about this later in the weak points)
- Love all the variety in the music and all the different instruments and such. but this is also a little negative since all the variety makes the song sound that much shorter. I'm not saying you should take off certain variations, but you should take what you've got right now, and make it longer by looping some of the synths together and not cuting the end like if it still continued.
- Nice variations in the drums also. Taking them on and off at exactly the right time never goes without notice. for me anyway.

Weak Points:
- As i said before, there are alot of interesting instruments in this piece. but one of the least interesting is the high pad from 0:56 to 1:08 which i found a bit odd and out of place. I think that if you should probably revisit that part of the song and definitly look for a more fiting synth or just completely take off that melody because the song defenitly has enough variation already.
- While talking of the transitions, i couldnt stop thinking of that one transition at 0:52. This transition is completely out of place. In fact, it seems like you just cut two songs together much like they would do it on the radio or something. the melody completely changes from before the transition and after, wich just makes it sound so odd.
- The ending for this song seems to just be a quick fix solution. But it just doesnt work. There was no editing involved; its like you just cut it in the middle of the song or something. and the result it has given just cannot be ingored. you should seriously go in there and add something. The minimum you should do is at least do a fade out at the end. at least it wont give the impression that it is just some loop that whent wrong.
- You should also work on the length of the song since people would probably like more then 2 minutes of such great music. You could make it alot long simply by looping the instruments for longer. it's quick, easy, and is very appreciated.

NOTES: this song just doesn't sound like it is complete. especially with the crapy ending, it just sounds like a demo. The ending that it has right now isn't finished, but i was very interested by where it was going. you should probably continues your song from there since you were going in the right direction.

Instruments: 8/10
Melodies: 8.5/10
Editing:6/10
Total:7.5/10
