Reviews for "Astro-Reality - --Trip to Mars--"

Very hip and tight track. Reminds me of old school adult swim. Cool beans. : )

Astro-reality responds:

Thanks man, I should really watch some old school adult swim stuff if you mention so often that my stuff sounds like it.

This was a very interesting one. Have you ever heard of the game "Forsaken" for Nintendo 64 and Playstation 1? This took me right back to that one, as the soundtrack is very much like this tune. Anyway, a lot is going on here. First of all the kick and percussion is very classic and punchy d&b, so immediately sounds professional. The lo-fi skipping LP and click effects on the main "piano chords" are very cool. Lots of automation here I guess. Keeps it varied. Bass-line is complex and selective and kicks in at the right times. The only complaint I have is the lead used at 2:34, I would like that to be more interesting and less presety. Not the melody itself, just the actual sound.

Good job man. - Sky :)

Astro-reality responds:

Thanks for the nice review man, I listened back to the lead at around 2:34. I liked it but I think that you are right about it sounding a bit too much preset-ish, I will think about that in my future tracks. I am listening to "Forsaken" which I never heard of and I get what you mean with how this sounds similar to it, they indeed have quite the same kind of sound, although I didn't use any trumpets here. Perhaps an idea for a next Drum and Bass song.

Neat stuff, im nostalgic somehow when i hear this. Awesome work

Astro-reality responds:
