hi, I really like this one. The loops are skillfully and tastefully combined. I wasn't listening to many of your tracks so far but I sort of assume you're using them a lot in your productions.
Nice mallet percussion used here - I like that! Reminds me always of some of Steve Reich's minimal-music.
This one is melodic and 'cimematic' indeed yet still very energetic. My only suggestion would be you could simply fade-in and fade-out the song.
Very nice work and really good soundtrack. Alex

Thank you for the suggestion and comments. I'm glad you noticed the mallets in the percussion.

I appreciate the props for the way I constructed the track, it means a lot coming from someone of you caliber.

I always enjoyed the movie, and this song would have worked well with it. Percussion on this one is outstanding. That bass is nice and is the kind you feel as well as hear. Very suspenseful track that takes the listener on a great little ride. Nicely done FT. I know cinematic isn't your usual fare, but you certainly did well with this one. Maybe another in the future for us cinematic buffs? I hope all is well.

Thank you for the kind comments.

I have a few more cinematic kutts in my vault, that I'll be loading up soon.

Thank you again, this track was experimental, made it back in 04, glad you liked it. FT

How many other people do what? Typing while listening? Well, what I mean is this. I'll listen to a track and review as I go basically. So if I say something like "I really dug the part at the 1:00 min mark" I was most likely listening to that part as I typed it. Most others tend to finish a track and then review or comment.

Just thought the comment about typing while listening was funny, because I do the same thing. FT

the active xylophone lick is fresh! i'm also liking your strings. what sounds do you use? lots of interesting activity in this one. nice percussion grooves. wondering if the bass might be toned down a bit. good contrast in between sections. wonder how this one might end? regards - Dan

I use a lot of early 2000 samples, and a wide range of other loops. I like the sounds from that time period, I try to incorporate them in w/ the new style of sounds.

And yes the bass needs some work. Thank you for your comments. FT

Thank you I try and pride myself on unique, so I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

It took awhile to get the drums down, but once I figured out how to layer them just right they sound great.

So again thank you, I hope you keep listening, because I've heard a track or 2 of your stuff ad I cant wait to see what you come out w/ next.

DIBKIS! FT

Really digging this intro, full of mystery. Typing while I'm listening here. Really love the low nature of the drums, it lacks impact but plays in the back pretty nice. Strings are a plus. I really love classical music as well so strings and piano almost resonate with me instantly. The brass is really well incorporated too. Nice transitions in this one, has a great groove. Hope to see it grow with comments and listens. Great production! peace

Lol, I wonder how many other people do that. That's great.

I really appreciate the feedback on these types of songs from people who listen to classical music, because I'm not the greatest at it.

It took awhile to incorporate everything together, I thought it came out quite nicely, as well.

Again thank you. FT

Good work here. I havent seen The Italian Job but the track does sound cinematic. Can imagine it playing during a scene or credits rolling.

Again, nice work. Peace
