[Eunomia (T4)]

I like it!

Very funky and laid back, harkens me back a bit to 'out there' by pendulum (which is a big compliment). Maybe a more clearly defined main melody would have helped the track progress a bit more but it works and doesn't get boring as it is.
Good drum work also; nice and punchy.

Nijsse responds:

Thanks Nick! At first, I kinda missed a defined melody as well, but after working on the track for some more, I liked it better this way. I'm still not sure about it, but I'm happy with the result. Thanks for listening and reviewing!

Crazy

Sounds like you've cut out all the mid frequencies on the drums and compressed them so much they seem to lack any proper impact :P
Is that pokemon playing in the background or a tune you've come up with? Sounds like a tripped out circus fanfare but it's pretty cool in a weird way.

KatzuyaSagara responds:

xD I wanted to make something diferent from what I usually do, xD Maybe I need more practice

Bit cheesy but i like it!

Maybe make the drums a bit more prominent and you'd have a really nice trance track. Musically i particularly like the key change at 2:55 (i think it is). Puts me in mind of classic trance like flaming june.

ChronoNomad responds:

Everybody likes cheese, right? Besides, I think that emotional stuff tends to be a little on the cheesy side. Everyone has to deal with it in their own way, but nobody really likes to talk about it.

Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you enjoyed the key change! It's funny how something so simple seems to add so much...

Nice piano

Piano bit at the start's great! Maybe increase the volume or the bassdrum and snare and a bit of EQ to make them stand out. Hope there's more of this to come.

DimaSmirnov responds:

Ah thanks.. Its not properly mastered so its really distorted on the master channel...

Really good!

Watch out for the levels, especially at the start when there's the highpass filter everything seems to max out for a while. When it gets into it everything sounds pretty nice. The harmonies are great but watch out the melodies change a bit too often, it doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of continuity.
You've got absolutely loads of good ideas but maybe just stick to a few to make it sound like one complete track.
Really great work!

AXTTXA responds:

The high pass filter "max out" was intentional. Hm yeah people keep mentioning that i should keep the melodies more constant or like repeated to make it more of a song. I just really hated that my songs always followed a certain format in my previous songs so I decided to do away with it for once.
Thanks for the review Nick!
