woo! This track is bitchin!

Very nice piece here. I can't say there's anything wrong with it, so dropping a review for something like this can be pretty difficult. As a drummer, I guess I could bitch and moan about there being no percussion, but in all honesty, I think percussion would ruin the light vibes this track has going. Great job xeno!

Xenoscape responds:

thanks! yeah, i decided to leave the hard-hitting percussion out on this one in favor of pleasant strings and melodies.

Really experimental structure you have here. It's interesting how it climaxes relatively early then kind of burns out. Great melodies, and the pads create great atmosphere. The only I'd do differently is have a longer intro, a longer chorus, and then I'd bring it all back around for another go. Other than that it's perfect. Really great track sir!

Xenoscape responds:

I know that you've got quite a few fans around here so it's very nice to have comments from you! it's definitely on the experimental side, I kinda like that though...

rawr

oh yeah, rockin man. Really sexy loop you got here. The only thing I'd say is that you might want to go for some more bass in there... it's opinion though.

KgZ responds:

Good call, will do good sir- thanks for listening.

uhhh...

Dude. You obviously stole that four to the floor rhythm from bass hunter. Did you think you were going to away with it? Did you? Well did you? Really, what the fuck were you thinking when you laid down those kicks?

Fucking cunt.

LK412 responds:

Ur joking right? Please tell me you are. Cuz ive seen your name on the forums a lot and you seem smart and witty. I can't tell if you are making fun of outlaw or u actually think i stole the rhythm. Please PM me.

Funny...

The same girl that helped you with the vocals on this track helped me and stan with our collab. She's pretty talented. Does this mean I've slept with you?

RyeGuyHead responds:

You might want to get yourself tested...

chirp.

That was the best damn hand job I've received since the last time I've received a hand job. Thanks!

Also, nice track. I don't really know anything about piano or melody for that matter, so I can't really give any feed back in that aspect, but some additional strings or pads would have been nice.

curriemaster responds:

Yes Quarl additional instruments WOULD have been nice, but Im afraid that goes against my religious beliefs. Cheers for the review though, the last 1 minute is what I like to call Quarl-time.

haha. quirky!

haha, that trance lead really makes this an odd track. Great mix, bass is heavy, drums are fun. The only thing that seems out of place is that trance lead, but it's just too quirky to hate. Sometimes quirky rocks... actually, check this out. Your loop really reminds me of Xanadu stratus remix for some reason... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_CVL hI2SE

Ahhh, good times. I only wish youtube had better sound quality. Curious, what program are you using again?

AeraDynamic responds:

I absolutely know what u mean about the Lead xD I was thinking of leaving it out maybe but it... well misses the Lead then and I didnt want to change the Sound of it.

The Video u linked contains a Video ID Failure :( But if u want the Vid in better Quality just add a "&fmt=18" behind the URL and it wil play in original Quality. If it is a HD video u can replace the 18 with a 22 and it will play in HD then ;)

I am using Fl Studio 8

rawr.

Fuuny. Right after our collab, we both went out and made subs for the v day comp. Melodies are crazy like always. It's something your really good at sir. I hear you playing with those drums a bit. Do you listen to any idm sir? Squarepusher maybe? Fun stuff. Actually... have you ever tried making an idm track? It's fun to experiment and the breaks can always benefit from a little extra experimentation.

I noticed something really unfortunate though... the mix sounds great on my lap top speakers but when I slap on my headphones the quality of the mix downgrades a bit... primarily the drums. They lose their punch. Do you listen to your mix with one set of monitors? Or do you give it a listen on as many speakers as possible? I find that it helps... dunno. It's a minor thing.

Great track though stan. Keep rocking out.

Stan-SB responds:

well i listened to then on a couple of formats and they seemed fine but its all a matter of opinion i gues, as for idm i sort of dip in and out of it i think aphex twin, squarepusher and venetian snares are genii but ive never made a track, maybe its about time...

awesome!

lol at the guy who calls himself a professional reviewer. I'd like to know how much he gets paid for his job here at newgrounds.

Great song sir. The only thing I'd like you to work on is the drums. They need to be brought forward more. Compared to the rest of the mix they're pretty weak. Other than that this is a really great track! Good work. Keep em coming.

Michael425 responds:

hahahaha yeah, I want to know that too.

I kinda had a slight feeling that the drums were a little drowned out but wasn't quite sure. Thanks for lettin me know, and thanks for the great review man.

meow.

Even for idm drums, they were a little on the light side. Amplify them bitches. Cool track though. Loved the melodies and effects. Only other statement would be that the mix needs some more powerful dynamics. More amplification all around and a sub bass wouldn't hurt. Good luck in the comp sir!

Tamadrum responds:

Thanks for the tips man... I really dig your music myself, it means alot. I'll be sure to keep those things in mind on my next track, seeing as how I can't go back and fix it, cause I still use the FL studio demo... (no saving)

I'm here for a long time, not a good time.
