This track starts off with some nice piano work. I like how you dropped the beat into the mix. This might just be the first time I've heard a track quite like this. This is some nice chilled music.

It sounds like to me you've built a very interesting tune here. I like the enigmatic feel you got going on with this style. It has kind of a new age feel mixed with an industrial sound. Great job! This track reminds me of the way Enigma's songs are mixed. This was a truly wonderful listen. Thanks for sharing your talent.

This would be the first time I've had the privilege of listening to a Swedish reggae rock song. It sounded pretty good to me. I've always like reggae music. It's great that music knows no language barriers.

You all did a fine job of collaborating. I'd say this song is pretty much radio ready. If I were a record executive I'd be wanting to sign you people up right now. I hope something big comes out of this collaboration. You all ought to do more songs like this together. Great job!

Simply put, a very pleasing song. It lifts your spirits from that cute little squeaky lead to the nice soft pads. I like how those pads evolve. I was a little thrown off when the pads just quit during the breakdown. I still think its a truly wonderful creation with attitude. It's nice to see the response that you got. Good job!

I love it when true inspiration comes along. When it does, you know it. That's so sweet that you accidentally recorded your daughter playing her trumpet. I'm a trumpet player myself, so I can appreciate what you did with the horn sample. This is great stuff!

[NOTE - this and previous reviews are for draft 1]

Truly a dub-tastic swell of organic tribal dub. Totally root's to the core. I really love what you did with those stems. This is a great collaboration. Did you add the delay to the vocals there towards the end? That was spot on man. I really loved the addition of the bull roar and the rattles at the intro.

Hey, I've started to develop an appreciation for dubstep. You did a great job on this tune. I agree that you should try to do a full blown version of this one. You've got a new fan man. This track is a fav for sure.

This is a really solid track a great combination of drums, synths, glitches and even the piano. I'm not very fond of the really high pitched synth. The rest of it works well though. Of course that's just my opinion. But I think the more I listen to it the more I might get to like it.

Nice! It does have a old school sound to it. That's all right there is a still a freshness to this song. It has some early techno feel to it. Great job for your first attempt. It's hard to structure a trance song to make it sound good. You nailed it on this one!

I haven't listened to a lot of deep house. This track seems to work pretty well. I like all the elements that you've incorporated in the track. Nicely done. I think my sound system is too small for this song. My little speakers can't seem to handle all that bass.

Groovy beat. This sounds like some funky house for sure. I agree with Dave, it was a little on the short side. There did seem to be some distortion on the over all mastered sound. Nice arrangement though.

You definitely took the song White Christmas and made it your own. Very creative blend of music and cover lyrics. Although it's not Christmas now, it is still white outside where I live.

Very funny those sound bytes. I remember seeing some of the episodes with them saying some of those funny lines. Nice Mix! Very cool!

Great stuff man!!! Wickedly tight beats!!! Reminds me of some Apollo 440. Awesome guitar riffs! If you haven't already, you should license this music for TV and Movies.

I currently use an older version of Acid, Acid Screenblast 4.0. There are many good programs out there. Fruity Loops Would probably be a good one. Reason might be a good program also. There is Acid Home Studio 8 that is a good introductory program. Search around online and find out which one might work the best for your needs.

It sound like you need a program that will allow you to stretch loops and also record to. Acid is good for that and so is Fruity Loops. Those are some of the best entry level programs out there.

Once you get a good program to start with then you can start to really practice your craft of mixing and music creation. Good luck with making your own music.

This tune could fit in with weird or glitch. The style could depend on what kind of drum beat you might choose to use. This track does sound well constructed for the most part the audio levels seem to be pretty good. I like the different sounds you mashed together. I think this track would work well with a drum and bass beat, or an Ambient beat. I like Zero2zero's comparison to a metal mickey braking down. Nice job James!

Welcome to Looperman. Hey we all have to start somewhere. I'd Say Looperman would be a good site to do it. It sounds like you're off to a decent start. Just figure out your timing issues with the drum track. You might try to watch your audio levels for each instrument track. You don't want them too loud, that they are sounding distorted. If your mixing program has an audio level meter, see if the sound is going into the red for each individual track. You want to keep it from going into the red. That's what we call clipping. Without mastering it or using a limiter on the master track you may find it hard to prevent clipping entirely. But, hey just have fun with it. Read a lot and ask questions. I'm not an expert so I'm just giving you some of what I know. I hope to hear more from you in the near future.

I really love the intro. You created a lot of nice empty space with that synth arpeggio. When the drums kick in, it reminds me of Classic Paul VanDyke. Great Job through and through. It sounds like trance to me.

Sweet chill'n! Simple,simply does it! Nice Job!

I really like the atmospheric wave forms that this track starts out with. This has some really tight and punchy beats. Nice ambient feel to this track. As I'm listening to this song there is a thunderstorm going on outside This created a nice effect for this track especially with the lightening. (Indiana on the 1st of January go figure.) Having not heard the original, I'd have to say it sounds like you took this track and made it your own. Nice job. Definitely a favorite. I keep finding more and more good work on Looperman. Thanks for making some quality music.

Nice job on the Dub-Step feel. I'd haven't heard the original song for a long time. This would probably sound great on a big Sound System. The bass coming through my head phones was probably way to much for them to handle. If I had some sub woofers this song would sound much better. It just sound very muddy. Mabey it's just my headphones. But over all well done.

I like the the way this one hatched out. You sure did a number with those deadly hands. Killer bass all the way. Nice demonstration of your ability to mix the smooth in with the gritty. I enjoyed it no matter how long the track is. I like this as a sound track. There is a very dark and ominous feel to it. Keep it up man.

I'm not a dub-step expert, but I agree with davados. Some vocals or some other variety of sound FX can help a track go a long way. I always try to add variety to my work. It sounds like a good start.

I'd have to say the vocals are okay. But what really makes this song is the production quality of the music. It sounds as though you've mastered your craft very well. Congratulations on your first vocal track. I'll be looking forward to more songs like this one. Keep up the great work!
