So. I almost quit this song ten seconds into it. But I decided to try a new-ish style. I'm pretty stoked about it. Hope you guys are too. I completed this using the FL Demo... meaning I did this in one sitting. I feel that is was worth the time. THIS SONG IS BEST WITH HEADPHONES!
Anyways, thanks.
:D

-A way of thinking that grew within the hearts and minds of those who were weak. A mentality. A desire to live for more than just food. To thrive longer and live happier. To harvest the spoils and share the wealth. To be everything they resented in those who controlled them. It was more than just a thought process. It was their destiny. Their divine right to live. And they did. One day at a time, they rose up. They conquered their oppressors and buried them with the false deities they worshipped. The villages and the cities were fresh with eager and able citizens. They claimed their thrones and rose up within their own fabricated ranks. A system so pure and divine, no one questioned them. Before they knew, the generations who led them to this status were gone, and the new world was growing uneasy. Those left behind no longer wanted things this way. Their children did not know of their ancestors who fought for their place in the world. They knew nothing. And little by little, unrest grew. Until the time came again, to fulfill their manifest destiny. To rise against those who oppress them. The never ending cycle of humanity.

Very impressive!
I especially liked the very beginning and closer to the end - I directly felt how the melody plunges into an atmosphere of complete mystery.

Really well-done song, it's evident you stuck through it and really put a lot of effort into the progression and general effects. A lot of fast-paced electronic music can be unpleasant to listen to for me, but I didn't get that at all with this, kept my attention all the way through.

I'm really glad you liked it. I'm trying not to be generic and annoying with my songs. And I did stick this one through. Spent a lot of time sitting and thinking... how am I gonna make this intro work? Hahaha. Really appreciate the review!

The second synth that comes in at 00:14 felt out of place, though I'm not sure what about it didn't fit. The kick drum pattern is.. annoying, if only because the kick sample itself is annoying, too hard for this style of music. Look for a more subby, booming sort of kick (though still short) that a noisy and dry kick. For the most part, the mixing is fairly decent. Transitions could be a little bit better (they are a bit abrupt and it doesn't feel like the piece can breathe). Aside from that, nothing was really wrong with it as far as from a compositional standpoint, and being made with only the demo is its own sort of triumph. I hope that you can keep getting better, and maybe get the full version of FL studio some day.

xxUltimaWeapon responds:

The samples I use are usually random and hastily chosen so I can see how they don't feel fluid together at times. Especially since it was a piano mixed with some random ambience haha. I felt confident with the transitions in this, so I appreciate you pointing that out. My perspective can only get me so far. And in regards to the kick. I used the default FL kick and added a bass kick with it. Just straight up laziness. Haha. I do appreciate your feedback, as it's helpful to keep me moving in a good direction. Thanks for taking a deeper look into this!

I'm loving the ambient synths in this piece! Very well done!

xxUltimaWeapon responds:

I'm lovin' you sir, thanks for the review!
Seriously though. Your kind words make the time so worth it.
