Neat track you've got here. You made good use of blending different styles/instruments. At times I thought it sounded empty, like maybe something was missing, but overall it's a decent listen.
Not really my type of music (at all), but I try not to let that affect my judgement.
Nice job, keep it up.
5/5

I love the retro feel to it. Maybe your bass line could be a bit louder, or the main synth a little quieter. Also, that glitchy sounding synth was a little too loud for me (But that could be just me).
The slower, ambient part reminds me of the 90's haha - it's that voice! Really though, it sounds like something I might hear on late night radio (when they play the techno).
I absolutely LOVE the pads during the slower part.
Too bad you had to lower the quality to submit it because you can hear the difference. I hate that, they should have some leeway with the 4 Mb limit.
Great job 5/5 :D

Thanks for the awesome review. Yeah I had to lower the bitrate to about 96 :\
It sounds way better in full quality, (email me at smad12@hotmail.com if you'd like the better version).
I'll work on the bass and synth, I have new program now so I'll try and fix it, and take the ambient part out just to see how it sounds, (plus shorter song= better quality) :D.

Wow, that was awesome. I LOVE the sound. It's great. It was beautiful, I just got a few comments.
At the beginning (my favorite part), I just wish I wouldn't hear it go quiet at the parts where the warble stopped.
Also, I didn't really like the one drumroll. I felt it sounded too out of place and it didn't lead up to much anyway.
That's all I have to say. Otherwise, a grear piece here :)

Ahh k, I hear what you mean, maybe I should have a little echoing there or something. Lol about that drumroll... I tried to use to introduce the bassline, so it wasn't so intrusive, maybe it was too loud and/or sharp...
Anyway, thankx for the review :D I'm gunna check out yours. :)

Not bad, but it seemed a little all over the place with no real melody. Even the few pieces of actual music (not pure sounds/percussion) seemed to just be added in random places.
Some good sounding perucussion, however.
Just work on making it less random and more composed.

Quite good. Great piano work (and nice sound). The kind of song that can go on and on with out getting boring, so I thought it ended kind of abruptly. I guess you can only go through so many variations.
I'm going to vote a 5 on it because it deserves higher.

There is a definite style and sound to this song. I quite enjoyed it, but the piano just sounded a little too honky to me. People have different ideas of what a good piano sounds like anyway. I liked all the different sounds. Nice string work. Great when the drum beat comes in. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks alot for the quick review snayk. Agreed, it's a little to honky for my liking as well. But thats okay, I plan to get better all the time, and this includes the quality of mixing my sounds.I love it when the drums come in too (and when they cut out).

I would say this is more trance than techno, but I have trouble deciding what genre my songs are too. It seemed like a pretty solid effort but I felt like I was always listening to the same thing over and over as there weren't many variations. Some of the sounds were a little cheesy. It was not bad though. Not (always) my type of music.

"Not my type of music, but..."
It was well done. You obviously worked hard on this one and it paid off. If I liked this kind of music I probably would have given you a better score, but I tried to be fair nonetheless.
4/5
