Not bad!
It's a good song. I wasn't very happy with the beggining and the tune is actually a little repetitive. other than that it's a good. Keep it up man u have a good style in your songs. NICE!

The opening is supposed to be repetative, its progressive trance :P
Thanks for the review
Hello
Hey neat song, the melody is the best part.
The voices and stuff are overated and dont mix well with the song.
I would love to hear this without the voices, sorry but I think they dont go along with the song well.
Anima-Theory responds:
I thouhgt the voices fix very well in my opinion, and your entitled to yours, and that cool :P

It fits.
The beginning is rather nice, with the mysterous melody. The vox that comes in is.. rather loud. Turn that down a bit? The kick that comes after gives an idea of a weak build up, and a beat with the little plink tool playing with the beat.
Oh, fuck.
You had the build up going. But was the hardcore synth work nessecary? All you needed was a pounding syth bassline with some nice diverse drums with that plink melody.
You are going for too much power. Sure, the hard synth melody would be nice LATER, but not after the build up. So all you have to do is tone down the build up a bit... even if you don't wanna rearrange this part of the song the next bit of advice I'm about to give will be more than essential to help the compression.
Turn. Down. The. Vox. And. The. Boom.
Too powerful! Wow, I swear that you almost blew my headphones...
Oh, I forgot to adress the shakers at the beginning of the song. Sure they sounded nice. Very nice, actually. But, they were too high in frequency. Again, kind of painful to my ears.
I have senstive ears due to ear problems... anyways.
Sure, I can hear the effort, but I don't hear the diversity. I hear some nice drum breaks that, as cliche as they are, they sound nice when ellaborated on.
Time to go over the scores, I think I tore this up enough.
Originality 9. Yes, I AM giving that to you. It is sterotypical trance with slightly different instruments. The only reason I'm giving it 9, is cause of the box idea. Nice. Otherwise, I'd give it 7.
Diversity, 7. Cause even though you have nice drum breaks like i said before, you use them... twice. At the beginning and the end. Change that! Diversity with the instruments isn't very kind either, the build up is rather dissapointing. You played the same melody with the hard synth as the plink tool. Wold ahve been awesome to hear some harmonics or something.
Clarity is at 6 cause I still hear the same compression problems, things are too loud compared to others that NEED to be louder. I can hear just enough to make sense of the entre song as a whole.
Effort is at an 8, because of the basic synth work and catchy melody. Its NOT at a 9 because you didn't bother to check if you boom was too loud or something. You also used the same vox breaks several times.
Overall 8 because I like the tune, and its slightly more controlled than most of your music that I listen to.
Keep it up, your getting better.

Anima-Theory responds:
The shakers aren't too higher pitched for me, maybe your headphones are shitty, or maybe mine are shitty :P
Again, the I didn't think the boom thing wasn't too loud, but thats obviously my opnion.
The only reason I kept the same tune is because it was taken from a "make up box". If I changed it, it wouldn't be the tune from the box thing :P
If you could, could you please PM me or email me with your complete critical details of this song, like what need to be louder etc. That would be appritiated.
This will sound n00bish but what is a Vox? Also I didn't think the boom was too loud, but as I said before that's my opinion.
WHat do you mean, more controlled than the rest of my music? :P
Yay, im getting better ^_^
Thanks for the review
I do truely appritiate your crtitisizm, it is helping me alot
Thanks Zenon

Sweet
The bells are so haunting, I liked how you introduced the beat around them, dropped them out, and brought it back again. Everything was mixed nicely, the bass kicks after the second vocal sample were a little strange, and some parts after it felt really empty. But its a sweet dance track fo sure.
If you could check out my latest...thatd be swell
if you slow the beat down, add a echo effect, and replace the voices with samples of children laughing etc... -shivers- Possibility of being freaky as heck.
