Just Playing - Mindhiest

i love it

The first half I can definitely get down with. It's so odd and experimental and it makes for a very interesting listen. I love how at 1:04 you build the track up then subvert expectation by just dropping into the deep trance-ish vibe with the vocal chops. It's really cool.

I'm not really a fan of the second half though. The mixing could use work, especially after 1:59. The elements could sound cool, but they sound very cluttered, with some parts like the drums (and that weird sweeping fx that sounds awesome) getting too loud. It also doesn't really feel like there's much of a connection to the first part.

At 2:50 it sounds like you're trying to make it an Excision track and I find that it doesn't really work. When it drops at 3:14 it comes off as cheesy instead of epic like I'd expect it to sound.

I do like 3:22 though, and the way you cut off that theme off at 3:38 was very unexpected and sounded really cool. However, after a bit it started to feel a little messy.

It's awesome to hear something odd and different and you're not going to nail it every time. Plus this is just my two cents. Definitely keep working on stuff like this if you feel that's what you want to do!
