New Track...
Bouncy psy with slightly darker sounds contrasting with cheese full-on style leads. Still not sure what i was thinking with this track...
Anyway, have a listen and leave feedback if you so dare.

OMG TIME STRETCHING FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!
/me listens
Lots of weird noises. standard operating procedure psy
Neat, i love how all the percs slam in at once at 0:39
This is right banging Axy!
Really strange. Your panning and stereo image is pretty darn cool sounding.
Scary alien voices!
01:33 not sure if I'm like the lazer weird ness sound. But... I kinda do like it.
I love that filter sweep from 1:46-1:56 (approximately) classy.
More crazy noises! Yes! FTW. Man tracks like this always remind why I love psy. And why I love cybernetika and you.
No real melodic direction in this track. But who cares it's psy, it's one purpose is evil noises and effects. Psy is such nerd music. It's all about the effects and processing and nerdy things.
This is great Axy. Just as I was saying no real melodic stuff here you give me stuff at 3:43. Great!
More evil noises, more cool filter sweeps. LOVE that break (4:35)!!!
And into some awesome evil noises and melodies. Nice detuning LFO on that synth line sounds awesome.
AWESOME filtering and sweeping at 4:55-5:02
Good ending too. Even though it's pretty short, I'd like it a little longer for DJing. I might make an edit of it.
Technical issues: Your high freq precs and effects sound a little too thin and hurt my ears just a tad at high volumes on my headphones. Try warming them up a bit maybe? Who knows.
Other than that. Fantastic track. Really enjoyed the listen.
Keep it up.

New Axo stuff, yay!
so commenting as I listen..
nice time stretching in the intro indeed :D
And this one is getting pretty straight into a full-on beat. Kick and bass are solid. I'd even use a heavier knocking kick, it would amplify the heaviness of the beat.
Alien talk synths - neat.
You used a lot of dblue Glitch for this one, huh? ;)
0:40 is very cool, slowly that acidic synthline is coming in.
Weird samples... but they fit totally perfect, like they were made for this track.
Now I feel like I'm surrounded by R2D2s family @1:20... yeah, this is Psy how I love it, with all the bleeps and blops ;)
1:55 ... awesome filter action.
And then.. "It feels all... like that!".. WHOA, massive!
uhm...
2:00 ... nothing can stop me now, Im turning up to like double volume and dancing like mad, no matter how stupid that must be looking. :p
...ok, I finished.. so on we go.. still hardly possible to keep me from just jumping up and continuing with dancing ;)
2:53 is mean... Laser fight... man, so many details now. The occasional highpass filter sweeps work just perfectly.
4:00 nice fake introduction of the melody, and then back into digital mayhem. LOVING it. You should definately listen to Digital Talk, if you haven't yet, I bet you like it.
now @ 4:40 and the melody is starting. It's a quite simple one, but the synth sound is just great, and I got to admit it works, reminds me a little of Ocelot somehow.
Towards the end even more zips and zaps. Did you use your synths only to make them yourself, or are those samples?
Its ending a little abruptly indeed ;)
Your best track. Definately. I feel like on an alien rave :D
Youre doing just about anything right. It's a perfect party track... Oh, how I'd love to hear this on a PA.
Just a few minor cons:
The kick is getting quite weak, especially in the full mix, eventually its possible to use a harder one, it would make the dancefloors burn even more ;)
Some elements still sound a little sharp. Overall your mixing is great, but like Freaq said, some synths are a little sharp. And some of the elements are a little thin, like as if they were EQed too much. I dont know, have a look at it, its really nothing big tho, cant keep me from enjoying that track.
Still this tune is in A man! :D |

Cheers thanks guys for the feedback, appreciated as always :) Great reviews, glad people are liking the little edits and wierd .
Freaq: Yeah I know what you mean regarding the highs. Dont know how, but a lot of my tracks suffer from sharp-ish synths and hats. Going to work on the master and try and fix it.
Cyber: dBlue... haha.. you got me man. Its your fault.. you got me onto it!! Sure, I might try a deeper kick, or different compression maybe??! Yeah, hopefully going to play this on a 4K PA next week. Definately looking forward to it.
Cola, Space Orange... thanks for your reviews also. Glad you enjoyed it. |

Sure mate, do whatever you want with it :)
Yeah, I think your right. The highs are quite harsh at times. I still have a lot to learn about mastering psy.. so many layers. |

Wow, great track takes me back to a certain dance-floor / cork forrest in Portugal!
Really digging the spot fx and sci-fi noizes....
Nice layers and seperation - only slight gripe is that high freq stuff pierces a bit but then that's all been said before so I'll shut up! Even so, love your hats / snare work, really makes the track breathe and ooze..
The kick gets a bit lost in the mix at times, maybe knock a hole in the bass with some EQ to let it push through a bit..
Not sure if it's just the audio quality you've rendered in, but it all seems to get a bit muddy around 4:30 - I think it might be the lead line spilling into the other elements. Try using some hi-pass / lo-pass filters to really keep all the lines in their space..
Whatever you did with the panning at 5:04 - do it some more! wow..
Love the little break at 5:27!...
Overall - Great track, really love the sequencing and overall 'journey' would certainly love to hear this on a big 20K Turbosound rig :)
Good work! MORE! MORE! MORE! |

| Hey Interlink, thanks for the feedback.. agree with all you've said. Glad you like the style, especially regarding EQ and kick. Going to try and fix all that stuff up soon. Really pleased you feel the track takes you on a journey too... its the highest compliment with trance :) |

Hey... this is good psy!
I like your choice of effects and mastering. The bass doesn't just sit at the bottom, it has some weight to it in the middle freqs as well.
I'm not so sure I like the siren noises so much.
I do agree with the kick, somewhat... Maybe if the kick had some more middle-freqs as opposed to sharing the bass's. I really don't know where the balance is between the two of them.
Vocals give it a good bite.
THe last psy-melody was a definate plus with the moving bassline. The filter on the bassline was superb.
Excellent work... It's more of the alien psy than the dark, full-on rave.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Look for my upcomming psy-track... :) |

Hi Axo ;) How is it going?
Going to the track.Ha because I like it I'll listen it one's first and I'll review after...:cool:
It's ing madness man :eyes: I'm sure that you were full of energy the days that you wrote it ;)It has everything that I usual looking from a track to trip me. Your intro is nice special the fxs.It's like alien speaking.At 0:39 when you start to "fire up" you can feel it better and my first thought is that something serious happening here.My only complain is about hihats when I turn up the volume for further enjoy.They are sounding digital and I'm telling this because all the other elements behind is near perfection.
Deeper analysis:
Your kick is always there ;)
Your bass is strong and very good combined with all the others seqs.Cool the way you change the freqs of it and the different melodies.Very well fit with the track.It make it groovey;)
Fxs.:) :) :) Hehe :) :) :)
The synths whenever you use them are giving the right dose of psychedelia :D :toocool:
It's my first time that I'm writing this way.I really enjoy it and I must tell you also that I'm finding you really improved.Sure your best work until now.Overall 9.5 from 10 for me.Thanx for sharing it pal. |
