Beautiful

I really loved it. :) I wish I could play so well, I tend to quantize everything I make cause I'm a sloppy keyboardist. :P

But this... mm, the emotion rings through. Powerful, uplifting... and sadness, yet with the determination to triumph over it.

Great stuff :)

fun and free-spirited

it really shows that you played around quite a bit with track. some parts are awesome whereas others are a little weak but overall a great amount of variation! I never got bored once. though, at times, some notes were off, probably due to your zeal to be creative with the arrangement. :D

kinda acid breaks meets freestyle, I liked it man. :)

Bracksta responds:

glad i could entertain you durn :). that is the reason i make music, i enjoy it and i love to make people move :D

reverb on kick equals big no-no!!

your low end is -really- dirty due to all the reverb you've got going on.

generally, you want to keep your low end crisp, clean and warm so that it leaves room for sounds higher up in frequency.

the bass-end is the meat of your track, it needs to be solid and in place. if it's reverberating it muddies up the sound and conflicts with higher frequency elements.

for bass/kicks I generally just compress and eq them, applying reverb only to hats, some claps and other elements that I want to be able to "lose" in a haze of reverb during a build.

I love the melody, it's fun and oldskool sounding but ya, the kick is killing it. :/

I have crappy software. Any way I can get the reverb taken down? I was using audacity to add the bass and effects

beautifully done

I'm kinda surprised this made it on top 5 and not the new house one you made, weekly top 5 confuses the hell outta me now, I thought I understood it. :P

really nice sound here though, guys. :) I love the pads and lead synth you use. very movie-esque. Could imagine this being in an 80s sci-fi movie like Bladerunner or Brazil.

nice oldskool flavour

Totally reminiscient of 90s house. :) Love what ya did here. I'll agree with the statement below that the vocals seem hokey/unmastered but I love the synths you used. :) Nice song, man.

Bracksta responds:

ya, i just add the vocals to add to the alien theme for this song. glad you liked it :)

egads, the memories!!!

dude, this is totally bringing me back to like every rave I went to from 99-04.

which is a good thing. :) very well produced. almost movie soundtrackesque at times. (could see it on bladerunner or similar sci-fi fantasy).

but ya... wow, I totally flashed back to some wild nights cause of this.

there can NEVER be too much distortion

\m/- -\m/

those metal horns are locked and loaded for business, good sir. let us commence with rocking.

honestly, really enjoyed it. :) everything's tightly eq'd and produced, even the drums ring through clean and clear. awesome stuff.

all you're missing is a singer wailing about the injustices of western society and how their european homeland is better. :D lol, jokes. but seriously, adding a singer would make this tops.

Sureiyaazu responds:

well I can't sing... at least I believe it... but we will see.... Gorefest 3.0 with vocals :P

I don't like the bass atm....

dope

thanks

epic & moving

dark at times, comforting at others. a journey of a melody. reminds me at times of classic NES final fantasy.

really liked it. :)

excellent timbre and tone

eq'ing on the vocals seems a little rough at points tho. your f's were coming across too airy, guess it was the mic you were using.

I really liked it though. good layering of the vocals later on.

don't know why people voted poor on this, singing's hard shit. I would if I could. :D

Other artist do it for a selfish reason. When they upload a song with a bad rating so they "zero bomb" others to make it just as bad as theres.

Life is fun, I like life.
