I like the atmosphere at the beginning and the sound design. The synth at :29 almost made me think it was going to be a hip-hop track. :) This piece is a tad slow to progress, but things fall together quickly at :57. I’m loving the crisp drums, rhythmic content, and hi-hats. The melodic content could be a little more dynamic, although I enjoyed the return to the atmospheric creepiness at 1:46 and the vocals samples. The hard-hitting bass at 2:05 was a nice touch. I would’ve liked to see more variation on the melodies by the time the second refrain rolled around, and I can’t help but feel that the piece needed a little something extra to hit it home at the end. The vocals, pads, and production are very strong here, though. Keep at it, Nextdux! ^_^
