This is pretty good. My favourite part was the initial intro. You should bring that back and find ways to twist it up and make more of it.

Mix is good - everything sits nicely. Much better hip hop drums than most tracks on here - just for the simple reason that they're not repetitive loops but you move from hi hat changes to bell ride.

Good quality drum sounds too. Where are they from? I use Superior Drummer but these drum sounds are also good.

I'd say a lot's missing from this as it's so short.

Vocals are the obvious addition but instrumental could work just fine too. As long as you have the instrumental skills to further it!

Try taking the MIDI notes of your piano parts and then copying them to other synths and then editing them, changing key, reversing them and so on.

Much more can be made out of this track and I could suggest things all day but I'm not sure what you do ie if you play any other instruments.

It I was working on it, I'd try adding some different guitar and bass ideas and then see if they encouraged other synth playing around/in between those parts.

Good luck.

In my opinion there is no greater than a hip hip track with real instruments and at least if not real, sounding real. Kick ##### track man. If u feel something might be missing, my suggestion would be to possibly add a break or pause somewhere/s u think appropriate, and maybe a light synth track mixed in the back ground. Probly would sound good to do it on the chorus, but i assume thats not the piece of body you feel was lacking. So maybe if u take the same synth idea and change it slightly with each piece of the song u use it in. My musical terminology is rough so bare with me on the suggestions, lol but great work!!

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Think I'll try throwing some synths in there or another instrument. 00:24 is where is seems too empty. This is why I make my tracks so short, they sound too repetative. Sure they would sound good with vocals, but with all the downloads I never hear anything done with them. Thanks again, I'll use your advice when I redo this one.

Description : EASE. Propella Head.

Dark atmosphere meets melodic lift in this upbeat roller from EASE. Deep bass and a driving groove keep the momentum moving, while the melody brings an emotional pull. Propella Head draws you into the shadows and keeps your feet moving.

Description : Heavy, but you can still dance to it. The kind of industrial from the Chicago Wax Trax era, bands like TKK. At least that's what I was aiming for.

Description : We used to ride all night thru downtown Chicago blasting Return to foever in Marks 72 Vega with 12" Ventura BIC speakers in the back that were chrystal clear. i was still too young to drive. Those were some of the greatest times I ever had I'll never forget that band the bandmates or those times. Mark out did himself on this Re-mix/Master. He also updated the Drums, makes the track feel brand new, even tho it's 4 years old.

PEACE...

Description : Sorry guys, you can't listen to what I've planned for this track. The gods have spoken and their words are scripture.

Instead, here is the instrumental to the work. I'll put the uncensored version somewhere else.
