I like the atmospheric pads at the beginning. This piece progresses really slowly though, especially for such a short track. The kick had a lot of higher tones for a bass drum - I think you should've Equalized that a bit more carefully. My main problem with this piece, though, is that it seems very safe. There are some cool sweeps and harmonies and stuff, but you could've done so much more with this. I feel like this should be a roaring, 5-minute long piece with tones of quiet tension and drama that eventually explode into epicness, but instead it's a 2-minute skeleton of a track that seems like it's unfinished. The piece cuts off really suddenly, which I would've excused if it looped well (but it doesn't). The mixing is solid, and, as I said, the instruments and harmonies are cool. However, I'm getting the sense that you didn't really show off your skill set at its true potential here. I want you to aim for a fuller texture with more effects, engaging melodies and harmonies and, well, generally riskier things! Overall, this track is cool but also relatively bland. I'd love to see you really go all-out with it next time! Keep at it, DJmadalrian. ;)
