I ordinarily dislike electronic sounding music. Don't know why, it just doesn't appeal to me too much. But this... this is something special, and I really did enjoy listening to it. So much in fact that I listened to it three times in a row. It was very relaxing and soothing, and made me feel happy while listening. excellent work!
Reviews for "Asleep Atop An Atom"
Impressive tune! Immediately made me think of tinitus BEFORE reading your description, lol!
I give it a very solid 4 stars. I like the layering of both electronic sounds and live strings very much; however, the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the contrast between the electronic and live instruments is a little "harsh" (for lack of a better word). Perhaps a bit of after-production mixing could easily blend them together well.
Also, not meaning to sound snobby or like a jackass or anything - just wanted to give constructive criticism. Again, very superb tune and will be looking forward to more stuff from you! xoxo

Thanks a lot. A wonderful critique. A little too harsh? I could see that. Do you refer to the percussive elements? I know i've been thinking about changing the sound of the snare when it first comes in around 1:50. Every time I hear it I always want it to be something different. Need to open up the 'ol work file and get to it - I will eventually. As far as the other sounds, I feel pretty alright with them all. By pretty alright, I mean I hate everything I do, of course - ah-hah. Then again, I like to put contrasts between harsh/soft & fast/slow. I will usually sit on a track for a while and listen to it here and there, then go back and change things / keep in mind what other people have said. I'm always in limbo. :\
The best song on Newgrounds I have heard yet :)

Oh damn!
I think this is relaxing :) I can only think of good memories or thoughts :)
LLAAPPSSEE responds:
It's awesome to hear that. Thank you.
I try to tell people I like electronic music because of it's unworldly sounds. This is a perfect example of that. :)
LLAAPPSSEE responds:
That's pretty much why I listen to it. I'm glad to hear I've acomplished that. :)
