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.

Bob-Music responds:

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

mikkim responds:

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.

WritersBlock responds:

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.

UpDownLeftRight

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.

Fun

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.

Ohwy....

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.

KlanMaster911 responds:

Thanks then I guess.

*head spins

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.

Nice, upbeat, generally well done.
My head didn't quite agree with some of the synths, especially the higher up ones, and this song was definetly too long for it's own good. Keep it short and sweet, or else long and diverse. After two and a half minutes, i greatly appreciated the change and 2:2~.
Generally well done, but maybe not my cup of tea.

DrDIL responds:

Thanks.

Perhaps when I learn how to mix properly I'll change some of the stuff and post a Radio Edit on here? :)

Cool sound. I can picture the piano roll, and see what you mean about up and down :P Well done. You definetly seem to know what you're doing.
Maybe try making something break-beat or techno. It's always good to try to expand your horizons. Nice work.

giovanni808 responds:

Thx :b And when i get better, i will experiment with all genres to see what works best.
