DownwardSpiral - FreeRadical

Hey FR

Surprised I hadn't gotten to this one before, could really see this going off in a night club, brilliant clarity and arrangement my friend, liked the vocal, sort of was left waiting for more to come in later in the mix, but never arrived which was a little bit of a downer:(
Listening to this tune dude, makes me want to have another go at this genre, a genre I haven't done for many years now, even though I do like doing the genre, so maybe next few weeks will give it a go...impressive man...FAV'D...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Damn, this reminds me of some bad times in clubs. This is very powerful stuff and some of the kind of music that would really drill into my head in darkened clubs late at night.

Lots of metallic sounds going on here.

1:12 spoken words are a bit of a surprise. Feel like they probably need some reverb. They certainly jump out at you.

I have no idea why you mentioned Robbie Williams. As you have, I'll say I'd like to hear a remix of one of his tracks done in exactly this style. That would be weird.

Based on the other comments, I think we all know what this reminds us of. Dark, moody club. And almost certainly a lot of drugs involved. Not for me, but certainly for some.

I should add that's it well produced. Otherwise, I find it a bit hard to analyse and appraise.

My fave sound is 4:27 insane note that just keeps going and going. Is that just one hardware synth note plus various knob twiddling?

Ends a bit abruptly!

Is that the club's sound system being switched off and the lights coming on?

The vocals were good. But with them only being used in the one spot, they almost seem they don't belong. It would be neat to hear them chopped and used throughout the entire track. That's my only thing with it. Other than that, I really dig it, man. Especially how all of the synths have a metallic resonance that make you want to give your brain a tetanus shot. Good work, man.

Take care.

What makes it great is that you've considered every second of this and worked it with so much care and attention. Best drop for months - at 1:28 you actually start feeling yourself coming up...:) Whoosh ;0

...Until the end, when the cops seem to burst in and switch the lights on.

Bummer.

Maff

wohw man, good work! it makes absolutly fun to hear!

greets

I like how you have the synths snarling at us in the begining. dark, sinister and awesome mate!

Bangin techno mate, not really my thing but the production sounds spot on! Even on my in-earphones!! Its quite dark as I'am listening to it again, it doesn't swing both ways not like that other p$*%k I am glad to say!! Nice mate!

Chased haha great description! I feel that for sure :D Mix sounds good to me. Downward we spiral as we're being chased by.... that just adds to feeling of fear no knowing what is chasing us 3:) Love it! Great track here! You should fade out the end instead of just stopping, My only suggestion here.

Hey man, how ya been? Glad your back putting up some tunes. Really dig this. I like how the song seems to attack, the synths are very aggressive(to steal another reviewer's word) and they give that great feeling of intensity, like a feeling of being chased in a movie. Welcome back!

Cool track , i think this is the best track i ve heard at this site, "on techno category" keep it up

Your tracks are still amongst the most powerful ones here to me, my dear N !! I'm so glad you're back !
Laughed at your words about Robbie, your descriptions also are inimitable !
I'm not a techno fan but listening to your track was a pleasure as you constantly titillate the listener's interest.
Very nice listening . Perfect to start the week with .
Thanks a lot my friend,
Do take care,
Bises,

I'm not a techno fan but this wasn't bad at all.... maybe because of the Need For Speed Type Tune going on in it :)

A warehouse party, people dancing furiously and passing out every where, undercover cops dressed up as hippies asking if you're holding - this is it.

Very aggressive psychotic track, pretty good. The vocal effects are pretty fun and a good way to progress to the new part. Nice use of reverb throughout the track gives you a feeling of bit of spacy track which is nice. Thanks for sharing
