the mood of your music together with the NASA track creates a powerful nostalgic feel at the beginning. i think transition into more active section is very slick. only thing i might say is that I felt the building drums was leading to a rocking guitar solo or something, but it does not go there. nevertheless - awesome work! keep goin'!
Nice track man. I've been going through your stuff and you really have a good ear for melodies and general tone. I really do like your music so please don't take this the wrong way, I feel your current vsti's may be holding you back. I keep imagining "if only you had used 'claw' for the bass" or "that would be great if it was a sound from 'silkworm'"
I wouldn't change anything music-wise (chords or lead progressions), just google some free instruments - I'm sure there's a forum topic with links - and I am certain it will take your stuff to the next level.
Yes, Id have to agree with you tho. I am using very basic software atm, but in a couple of months I'll be upgrading to Logic for apple. And the quality difference will be massive. Im not gonna make anything else until then but hopefully then I'll be able to go up that level. Thanks for taking the time to listen and reply :)
Like it. I'm definitely into the space jam sound. I like the music at the end better than all the nasa stuff. I alsdo like that it's the kinda song that's just one continuous verse - just like a space flight would be.
Pretty good man, this definatly sounded spacey, good work finding the NASA sample an using in a creative way like you did. It sounds like something that daft punk would do an that is a good thing! Great job!
Very creative, I love the drums and the synth part you made. I Would have liked to hear a little more variation after the beat came in but other than that good work!
Very creative, I have to agree with Mr Wolf that this seems a bit like a huge intro into something big. If you made a sister song called say "Flight to ---(something)--- that was high energy. And then a Chillout piece called (I don't know... )"Taking it all in", and then a final mad scramble piece called "The journey home" You would have a very nice 4 part electronic suite that would mirror the old formats of classical suites.
Just an idea ;-)

I don't know if you remember back in early 90's or not. CGI was still pretty new. Everyone jumped on board, and they came out with a ton of DVD's which were also just taking off. One in particular was "The Minds Eye" series. This track sounds like the audio to a segment from one of those DVD's. I like it, man. Kinda takes me back a bit.
Thankyou, I see what you mean, but I guess thats the idea of the song and the idea of taking off, just 4 chords going up and up on an ednless journey than climaxing. I didnt feel the need to continue the track from there. The peak felt like a nice place to end it.
"First song of an album", im incredibly honured, thanks for the kind words my friend
Good beat and love all the bass work as well as the synth that sits on top. All sits very nicely and there's lots of space.
Some good little glitchy fills too, especially starting on 2:31.
Not personally being much of a fan of rnb, I'd prefer to see a different type of vocal go on it. All sorts of stuff would work but I guess you'll have to wait and see what you get and what you like.
There's a bit of problem with your repeated sort of woodwind fill eg on 0:18. I think it needs to have reverb on it to mesh it with the other parts. It's too dry so doesn't seem connected with them. What it plays is fine, though.
It has one of the better faded endings I've heard on here recently (because you don't do it too quickly).
Thankyou for the detailed feed back and the kind words Static :)
And yes funny you said that about the 0.18 part. I was actually going to do that exactly but I forgot about it lol, guess I could do that on the second mix and change a few things up. Thanks a lot!
The track is good guys.
It is a bit "commercial" but I think that was the intention.
The mix is polished enough.
Now you just need to put some vocals on it.
Good luck!

PS: I see from the past comments that you had one of the most beautiful voices of this site visiting you ... but I am sure you have already checked out the pellas section looking for inspiration so you already know her.
We are hoping people will just have a go at the chorus and see if they can do anything with it. We do not have any particular pattern in mind so just really wanted to give everyone an idea of the song (what the verses will be about). The words I put were just an example for the theme. if you think you can make some thing on it then please try and let me and pip see what we think. Think you might want to have a go? Cheers
Anomaly J, It's an moving one about trying to make it to the top against all odds. In the same molde as Emimen lose yourself or 8 mile Road. About trying to lose the demons of past life to give it one big shot and when there what it might be like.
Looking for a chorus which just bounces with Synth.
Think Pip wants the words Live it up. So adding to that something along the lines of "Live up it, fine that line lets hit it up, dont ever give up not the time to hide, time to say thanks for ride, win them all over to live it up." That jsut sprung to mind however peeps might get the idea of what I think might be needed. What you reckon Pip?
that sounds good dude, not quite sure of the chorus pattern tho you would have to try and do it for me for like one chorus so I could see what ya mean and then Id take it out

I dont think I could creatively stand making 4 pieces all the same tho, I would get too bored of it. This was more a one off, huge intro or not haha
