Really nice

So this was really nice I especially love the build up down the middle and you are very fast with this sound seems to all link together very well, And here was a cool tune, at first I didnt know what to expect but soon after as the music really kicked in it was actually pretty good and I really took a liking to it, so nice start to this as it shows lots of effort and a really interesting tune of sounds, But now that we are almost done here, I have to say this was pretty impressive nice style and would love to hear more of your work in the near future, so keep that creative mind flowing with new ideas.

~X~

yeah definitely hearing some of that shpongle influence! less intricate, but more driving and jazzy.
was not expecting those techy breakbeat drums, nice. would fit really snugly in a kid kenobi set i think.

i think 7 minutes is warranted tbh, maybe even necessary. would love to be able to mix this but that sudden ending is a bit disappointing :< (i can see why people didn't like how i ended my round 1 thing now though)

- NGADM Round 1 Review -

I can hear how developed this track is. The whispering vocals were a nice touch for sure. The best part about this track is how clean it sounds – your sounds for the most part are crisp and clear, which works well for the atmosphere you develop. However, the atmosphere begins to become dull after the dragged-out intro. This immediately changes when you bring in your bass, which is introduced nicely.
The whole feel of your song is really funky and I like it a lot; my only problem is that it lacks any kind of real climax. The level of the track seems to feel flat, especially with the atmosphere. What counters this best are your crazy synth solos, which are definitely very fun to listen to.

Score: 9

This is an NGADM Round 1 review.

Oh man, I wasn't sure about this at first, but I actually love this a lot more than I expected, and let me tell you exactly why. The atmosphere, for starters, cannot get any better than that. I'm surprised and impressed that you managed to create an atmosphere with so much character and relatability while still making it sound unique. Your composition, while being mostly comprised of crazy quick (and badass) synth solos in the blues scale, was highly enjoyable. Fantastic ending, I love your percussion work to bits, and your production value is very good, just like Biohome! You've got a real knack for making really clean low ends by the way, and it shows in this piece!

My only production-related complaint is that I think your mix is a bit too spacey. This is often a good thing, and during the softer parts of this track it definitely is, but during the parts with the drums I actually wished everything was a bit more tight and compressed, so I could feel a bit more of a punch. In fact, the track is MUCH more enjoyable if I turn my volume up a little bit more than I usually do. This is a ridiculously small complaint though, and I might be wrong about it. What I think needs work is the intro - while it is really cool, it's a bit long and gets a bit boring. The piano also doesn't really work for me. It feels a bit bare and didn't feel as successfully integrated as it did in Biohome (sorry for always comparing this track to that one haha, I just consider this and that to be your two best tracks). Oh and one more tiny thing. Reverse cymbal is a bit loud.

This is overall a highly polished and detailed track which I enjoyed a lot. Excellent work.

Score: 9/10

Hey john,

I know it's been a while but i recently made a soundcloud btw! Also me being horrible at writing reviews and you getting alot better than me, i say this is actually my favorite work from you. That arpeggiated synth at the start gives it this action feel to it while still staying melodic and groovy. The EQ-ing is spot on and the drums are well mixed.

My only complaint is the voice as it seems rather unfitting. Otherwise, nicely done!
