Review while listening:

- Nice fx
- Don't like the conga very much, just personal (until the kick is coming in)
- Nice bassline
- Nice and warm pads/strings in the break
- Great break, great buildup

Sorry man, but i don't have any critics i think
Sounds very prof! Good job.

really nice, good job, I like it

for a first reason tune this is definately an awesome track man. like how this one flows, did a good job with effects. Pads are great, and this lead synth is very original.

only suggestion is to space out the breakdown more, sounds too 'rushed'.

good track

thanks for feedback guys, im pleased you like it.

@dj-rob: your right, break seems to be a bit crowded. i'll pick up your tip in my following productions

no more feedback anyone? need some more inspiration

foookin quality mate, the only thing im not too keen on (and this really is personal taste) is the kick. Its a little hard for my liking.
The sound is very proffesional. Quality work mate.

check your pms mate!

This is really quite good! The percussion fits well, I like the lead synth (though I'm that that part is a little more up for debate). Overall, it's ace. Only two minor bits to complain about: after the main break, the lead synth kind of repeats itself a bit much until the outro comes in. Maybe if you change the melody up a little bit that might make it even better. Secondly, where's the 192? Nevertheless, the production is overall quite excellent. Good job.

I agree with pretty much everything said so far. Perc is awesome, fx are good, and the chord progression is well composed. Very professional sounding. I'd spin this.

I don't think ur breakdown is too rushed... if it's really bugging you, maybe some more FX would help slow it down a bit though. If you add something with a lot of echo (say, a loud DRIP or TAP with a ton of reverb), then it would probably help give your track a slower feel in the middle without dragging the pads too much. I think the crash at 2:54 should be removed. Maybe you could 4 or 8 beats of silence there (perhaps with an echoey effect) before you bring in the lead.

I think your main synth has to grow into something larger after the climax. You have some good progression... like at 5:15 when the strings come in, etc... but I think you need to tighten up the structure a little more so that synth doesn't sound so... empty.

The problem I see is that you've filtered the synth a great deal, so at times you're really losing certain frequencies and really emphasizing other ones... and there's not enough else going on in the song to balance this, so your spectrum sounds a bit off. Maybe add a counter-melody, or late in the song, add another synth over top of the main synth (perhaps even the main synth again an octave higher).

What happened to the synth doing broken chords on the 8ths?? (the one that gets filtered in from 1:22 to 1:34) It just goes away and then comes back at 5:22... you should experiment with adding it to the climax (with slight modifications of certain notes to match your chord progression). I really liked it!!!

Sorry if that's a lot. I critique songs in the same manner that I would like to have mine critiqued

Still an 8/10 production. Keep up the good work.

understood your broad hint

Dude... I really thought this was top notch! Sounds quite SolarStoney!! [at first]. The robotic "yeah" sound is uber-cool!

@ 3:00 -- LOVE that synth. WOW.. Mind if I keep this mp3?

Melody is just top notch...Im repeating myself, I know..but you don't mind, right?

BTW, I happen to love the kick. I would have liked to hear some panning on that robotic "yeah" sounding thingy (hard to explain but the sound that occurs at exactly 6:01)

9/10 for a 10/10 I'd recommend layering one more synth as was mentioned for the final play of the melody

P.S. Man, your sig is sick!
