Glad you enjoyed this John. It's definitely the best track I've done to date. I've been suffering from really bad writers block recently, it could be a long time until i come up with a track to match this. Thanks for your comment :)

Love it, kinda sounds like a video game soundtrack. Like UberZelda, lol. Awesome.

Thanks Carmen, i love the music in that game. When i was a kid i wanted to make music for video games, sometimes i used to play games just to listen to the music. Thank you

This was a happy ride. As for genre, who cares, the track rocks. Stands fine as an instrumental, but do you have any plans for vocals?

All The best

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. As for vocals, yeah i had a phrase in mind that i tried to record but the quality of the mic was rubbish, so i left it out. The lyric was "You will know how far we've fell, when we have to look up to see hell" said twice between 0.33-0.49 and again between 1.19-1.35. It would have gave a nice build up to the high choir pad part but never mind :(

Thanks for your review

yo i'm diggin your style! i checked out Human (Dis)Grace, Faved both tracks! your sound is so full and sounds very proffesional. i also like how you mixed the vocals at the begininning, very creative way of using your resources to get what you want. your track gave me goosebumps, its just so incredible! i dont want to stroke your ego or nothing, but this is one of the best tracks i have ever heard on this site. great job,

Thanks Fayz, I'm over whelmed by your review. It's nice when anyone enjoys one of my tracks, but for you to say it's one of the best you've heard on this site means al lot to me. I'd also like to add that you're vocal sample was a big inspiration to this track. When i first heard it i was desperate to use it in one of my tracks, and this track is what i come up with. Thank you!

This is awesome! I think it's good in industrial personally. Nice choir pads, they sound really good! Cool bass line and melodies! I like this song a lot!

AstralRaven replied Unknown
Thanks for your review. I agree it probably isn't industrial but i haven't got a clue which other genre to put it into, maybe heavy dance music? lol god knows. I'm pleased you liked it...

Yeah i've got a terrible habbit of putting a compresser on the bass track, then side chaining it to the bass drum. Gives it that "woo boo woo boo" effect lol :D Cheers for your comment!

Sounds like you had an intense experience! It's great hearing people putting emotions like this into their music! The melodies on this are spectacular! A very strong song! Faved for sure!

Thanks for your review Spivkurl, I'm pleased you enjoyed my track. In particular I'm glad you liked the melody because it excited me when i first come up with it and It's nice to receive praise for it :)

used to love acid ..oh yeah banging toon. rave sounding; oldskool ...wicked sound love diss.peace
AstralRaven
AstralRaven replied Unknown
It's funny you should mention rave because the music playing during my acid trip was rave. I can't really say I'm a huge fan of that style but my friends love it. The powers of our subconscious mind lol. Thanks for your comments!

Definitely sounds like it would be industrial or techno. Makes me think of a rave. I like the beat and I think this piece has potential. Nice job!
AstralRaven
AstralRaven replied Unknown
Thanks for your review. Yeah i thought it should be classed as industrial, it's strange though because i don't really listen to industrial music. I had a Marilyn Manson album (Antichrist superstar) when i was a kid that i think could be classed as industrial mind...

wow this is soo good, it is like a dream and it makes me happy listening to it, and it reminds me of like a pop song instrumental, its like a katy perry song or something this is really nice, you could get big with this kinda stuff, keep it uppp!!!
AstralRaven
AstralRaven replied Unknown
Cant say I'm Katy Perry's biggest fan but i take that as a big complement. Thank you NoxideMusic, much appreciate your review!

nicely done.

my only complaint is that it ended a bit too soon for me.

what will you come up with next.

Reminded me of some old trance back in the day.
AstralRaven
AstralRaven replied Unknown
Thanks Mrbillion, glad that you liked the track. And i suppose you and cait are right about the song being too short. i just feared that i would lose the listeners interest if i stretched it out any longer, especially since theirs no vocals.

I think that it is cool and trancy. Its almost has a Dark fantasy feel to it. Kinda creepy but cool!
