Your melodies never cease to amaze me, Spiv. Very cool synths in there. In the breakdown, your music skills really begin to shine. I like the bring in on the up at 1:40. Another great song in your catalog! I still haven't got to hear all of them yet. All in due time, Friend!
Hey thank you so much! I like the breakdown in this one too. You're too kind with all your praise, your tracks really rock too! Not that you do rock songs, but you know what I mean...haha! Thanks for taking time to listen and review!
This was really interesting. Definitely unlike any d'n'b track I've ever heard, and I quite enjoyed it. If you don't mind me asking, what's the bpm of this track? It sounded a lot slower than 170, which is standard dnb, but then again I've heard a lot of tunes which sound way slower or faster than their actual tempo.
Hey thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it! The tempo of this is actually 172 BPM. Some of it is definitely half time feel, in my opinion. I really appreciate you taking the time to review!
The drumloop in the beggining was great, the growly bass was great, and I liked the high noize, not too sure if this is trance, but I'm not too sure what it would go under so I can't say anything there really. I also really liked the way that the release with the high noize was different on one note, and the pads were great!
Hey, thanks glad you liked it! Yeah my trance never really lives up to the genre trance, atleast not to purists...I just didn't know where to put it. Thanks for returning the favour of a review! Take care friend!
Hey Man! Interesting combination of sounds in this track! While listening I get the feel of walking down the streets of a foreign city looking in at the stores searching for interesting things to take back with me! The use of guitar is perfect for the song and the heavy percussion works real well in giving this track originality and making it unique! Great stuff! Keep up surprising us with your new sounds! Added to faves also!
Keep up the good work!
Yeah I wanted to experiment with unusual combinations of sounds on this one, and acoustic guitar isn't often used with electronics like this. Sounds like it took you on a nice journey, I hope you found something to bring back with you. Thanks so much for your review and for the fave! You've made me smile!
A bit older one huh?
I need to go thru your expansive library and check 'em all out...
I like this! Most definitely got the Mario thingy happenin.
It's totally happy.. but .. the aggressive bass is also kinda cognitively interesting..
It's like the guitarsish and organ have a pensive quality and then the bass is just like BWAAAAAA lol
Really good stuff!
I felt a pad deuling on the half-time around the 3 minute mark / outro woulda been coolish..
Awesome!
:)
Yeah everything of mine is old right now, because my CD Burner died and I can't transfer anything to my internet computer... it's a little depressing.
But anyway, I'm really glad you liked this one. Yeah upon listening to this again, the bass is kind of funny, it just seemed like the best way to offset those organs. BWAAAA
Thanks for all your kind and helpful words! Your reviews are always a pleasure to receive!
this gives me an edgy feeling... like im walking down a hallway and the fluorescent lighting is flickering on and off. coming off meds always gives me this feeling, this song seems to fit that bill perfectly. thumbs up. didnt hear the old versions but this one sounds great..not something I usually listen to but it caught my attention which can be tough! i think its the drums i like so much something with the timing, good job
You describe what I was feeling when making this song perfectly, you must've had similar experiences. I'm glad you didn't hear the old versions, as this is a major improvement. Glad you liked the drums, as if I remember right they took a while to get just right. Glad I could catch your attention! I appreciate your review my friend!
I'm glad you found this one to be fun! You may be right about the genre choice, but I think I'll leave it, as trance was what I was going for. Thanks much for your review!
Hey thank you so much! Glad that I could make you smile with this one! Thanks for listening outside your comfort zone! I really appreciate your kind review!
This is pretty weird, and in a good way. I loved the song the minute the acoustic guitar came in at the start. To me, those almost mellow acoustic chords give your song a normal, melodic base and it just combines perfectly with the extremely strange percussion and synth.
I'm glad you could find it weird in a good way, that's kind of the intention...haha! I think the acoustic guitar turned out nicely too, and yes it makes a good contrast with the percussion. Thanks so much for listening and reviewing!
Very interesting piece from you again, does sound very much giltch, nice driving force to this one,good changes my friend, another very interesting piece and listen from you, love ya style mate, always so good...fav'd...Peace Spiv...Estefano...Talking of interesting have a new trance up, diff then my other stuff but I like it all the same...
Hey thanks so much for faving this one, I really appreciate the kind words! This one was really experimental, so it's good to hear kind words about it! Love your new trance by the way! Thanks for stopping by!
very happy little track. sounds like stereolab or something. nice weirdness to it. that bass is killer, i think it goes well, and i think your beats are very complimentary to the whole sound.
I'm glad you found the track to be happy, as that was part of the intention! I haven't heard too much stereolab, but I appreciate the comparison! Thanks for your compliments on the bass and beats! I really appreciate your review!
Hey, thank you much! I think the bass and drums turned out nice too. A good vocal would be nice, I just can't get my head around vocal trance though. Thank you for listening and reviewing!
Yeah, funky it is! I'm glad you found it chill and happy, that makes me happy! I think I know what you mean by future 80's. Thanks so much for the review!
This takes me on a journey! the atmosphere is a eerie with the de-tuning on the synths and all, an awesome eerie. The guitar loops sound really good with this track. I like the glitchy drums a lot.
Those synths are freakin' sweet!
I'm glad you could enjoy the journey! I'd never thought of this as eerie, but I see what you mean. Glad you liked the guitar, synth, and drums since that's about all there is to this track! Ha ha! Thanks much for listening and reviewing!
Hey Man dl=_=lb wow, totally not what I expected from your previous work! Great melody and I love your subtle FX tweaking! I think a second synth melody would add just that little extra something something, ya know?
Glad you could be pleasantly surprised by this one! I agree that this could use a little something else, but I don't think I'll be going back to change anything. I think it turned out pretty good this way. Thanks so much for your review!
haha yeah it started and it was like instant happiness, i just woke up so i'm glad this is the first thing i heard. i like the different organs that you used. i like how it's really happy sounding but has that darker under layering, and the ending is pretty cool, i like how you ended the song. very well done.
Glad I could make you happy with this song my friend! I'm glad it was the first thing you heard when you woke up, it's a good song for that. Yeah there is a lot of dark and light contrasts in this track. Glad you liked it! Thanks for returning the favour of a review!
Mate I would have to say this is the first time I have heard a track like this, man I am LOVING it big time, something so catchy about it, cant put my hands on it, but this is amazing, I always know when I come into check out your brilliant works my friend, I am going to get something special and this has not let me down, great piece, fav'd...Peace my dear friend...Estefano...
I'm glad you finally found this track, as it's one that I'm really proud of. Glitch is really something I love to make, and those circuit bent toys make it almost easy. But anyway I'm really glad you liked it! Your reviews always put a smile on my face! You're a good friend! Off to see if I can find one of your tracks to listen to.
It kind of made me feel like I was at a slow motion baseball game with the crowd dancin to the organ. Picture that. I read your profile. Good stuff and know what ya mean. Thanks for stoppin' by my stuff now and then. I'll be back around, cuz it sounds great to exist.
I'm picturing that and I can see what you mean! Those organs fit right in at a baseball game. Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my tracks and my profile! I'll try to return the favour!
Great song! I like the super happy synth lead. You did a great job on the mix as well. If I was to do anything to it, I would just add a few more layers in some parts, but that is just a matter of preference. This track has all the makings of a good trance track, slow filter work, driving beat, and a bouncy lead that ties it all together. Awesome work!
Hey thank you very much for the review! I like the happy leads on this one too. I can see why you say it could use some more layers, but I don't think I have the inspiration to go back to this one. I'm glad you think it's a good trance track though. Thanks for listening my friend!
For some reason this track makes me think of some kind of bizarre twisted kids show where everyone's dead but they try to make everything all happy anyway... in a good way. I really like it, it's different and original which are the two best qualities a track can have, in my opinion.
That's an interesting take on this song! At the time I was wishing I had a wine merchant, so I could get some quality wines haha. Different and original is quite a compliment! Thank you so much for your helpful comments and for listening!
Hey mate, very good job!!!!
Trance is not my kind of music, but this track takes me.
This is not the mainstream 5h17 like TRANCE from this times and from europe.
Hey, friend, thank you very much for commenting! I'm glad you could enjoy this, even though trance isn't your cup of tea. This definitely isn't the normal style of trance, I pride myself on doing things a little differently. I really appreciate your kind words!
