hmmmmm

Compared to crap I listened so far today your is badass

Amazing work.

Intro instantly set off the mood well with a brilliant use of a phaser on the hi-hats and a nice use of bass. The build up and transition into the main melody was awesome too.

drums were same as in every trance song however and could've used some slight originality even though they fit in well with the bass. The fading in melody after the drums cut out was brilliantly introduced but when it repeated for around 5 times, well that got a bit annoying.

However, blend and depth after that were amazing for a trance song as the music was intricately layered and mixed. The effects were well used and got the users attention brilliantly. Drums remained the same when they came in for the second time and couldve used a variation.

Bass in the secnd part was slightly repetitive too and although it played a great melody, some variations wouldve helped. The Outro was fantastic too, with an interesting fade out by the bass and a continued line by the drums, overlayered by a great Sound Effect. Nice work. Synth choice was great but couldve used something more, maybe anotehr synth playing a responding melody to the main line. Chord progressions were quite original and i couldnt hear any parts were they followed any generic pattern.

Overall, a decent piece of work, great use of both instruments and FX.

Intro/Outro = 1/1
Blend = 1.5/2
Mel./Transition = 2/3
Drums + Bass = 1.5/2
Originality = 2/2

P.S. Note that this is your judging review from Round 3 of the NGADM. Once again, its always nice to have new reviews no?

needs some more work IMO

sounds somewhat strong int the beginning but I Think its still lacking something to full completion

Interesting Melodic Style

I still like Red Light District better though. Production here is good, other then excessive loudness. The bass synth seems a little overdone too, since its the same as every other trance song. The drumloop could use a few more elements. The overall beat here is good, but again the execution could use some improvement. Overall this song was well made, but its just so generic that it loses a lot of points. If you can take the quality of the song and apply it to a more unique and creative style, I think the results would be very impressive.

7/10
