Wow man. You really know how to make FL sound shiny and expensive. Well, i guess it is pretty expensive, but you know what i mean.
Perfect length, i didn't get bored the whole time.
Is that a train i hear? Well done, that's a new one. Never seen- er.. hear that before.
Excellent work.

Well, people are always quick to criticise the basic samples that come with FL, but some of them aren't all too shabby. I wanted to do something for the FL core competition a while back, but I couldn't work out how to pull it off. I guess I just needed the right moment to get it done.

So true. You get 10/10 just for having sweet lyrics.
And aside from that, i'm not big on indie music, but i really enjoyed this. I didn't find anything particularly wrong, so good job.
Nice work.

Nice work. The name fits (you know why, so i won't bother telling you).
Myself, having a very short attention span, was almost lost to this song at about 1:00. The you came in with more fun stuff thirty seconds later, so congrats, you held my attention. Nice work ^^ In my narrow opinion, this song is too long for it's own good, but then, i say that about most electronica that exceeds two minutes, so...
Excellent work.

Thanks, I've been wondering if it was too long but I think each section fits the way it does because of how long it is and I'm far too lazy to completely remake it!
Thanks for your kind review

I can hear the Basshunter in there, and that little line i enjoyed. However, the cymbals and... well pretty much everything else actually didn't fit at all. Or if it did, it's very subtle. I think you can do better
Author's Response:
well nothing is soposed to fit in and I made it so its really jumbled but with the bass hunter in it

Oh yeah. I can feel the hopeless battle. Try and try as you might, you're still gunna die Hank. Poor Hank...
I liked the blend of classical and hip hop, and the addition of the piano worked excellently. But i think i heard the same pattern, particularly on that Oboe(?), repeat itself through the entire song... And i /will/ harp on repetition! Other than some repeating melodies, and the general stale feeling, i have no complaint.
Good song, nice work.
Author's Response:
Thanks. Yeah, I tried to cover it with the long melodies, but it didn't work.
Thanks for the reviews.

It seemed a little bit repetitive. Ok, a lot bit repetitive XP But cool song. It would probably make a pretty awesome loop.

The beginning was a little hard on the ears, but sets the mood very insistently.
I love the snare.
When the Plucked synth and it's metallice sounding accompanyment came in (1:49) it sounded kindof out of place to me. Just an opinion, i can't be sure.
Creates a mood very nicely.
As with most things, i think this is probably too long for it's own good :P
Well done.

Lighthearted. The biggest problem i can see is the semblance of repetition i seem to detect. I heard one pattern that repeated itself through most of the song, and i don't like that sortof thing. Very nice, melodic piece. I especially liked the piano.

My delicate classical/trance ears aren't accustomed to so much metal. So since i have no clue what to look for in this genre i'll settle to say it's definetly way too crowded.

Thanks then I guess.

The delay on whatever was the first instrument was making me dizzy. Not for me. Also, the kick seemed a bit too heavy, like a dull throb in my head. I liked the ending best, it was a shocking change from the heavy dancesque to go to the nice ambient pads.
Well done.
