I like that beat at the beginning... It's really catchy. :P Personally, I'd like to hear a bit more punch to the drums... you could probably do that by layering a really powerful kick and a snare around the fat amen break.

Try to keep away from overusing the pads and such, you need to have parts where the focus is more on the drums and the bass rather than the ambient stuff. It's good and all, just be sure to use it in moderation. Same thing goes for that guitar.

Try to fill your drums out a bit more; ghost snares and hi-hats/shakers/tambourines go well.

Overall good job, you've got some cool ideas.

The beginning synths were pretty interesting, to say the least. :P

You've got a lot of nice low frequencies in there. I'd try keep from overusing that trance synth in the whole song, it could get annoying and crowded...

There's also some problems with clipping; just a few, so nothing that ruins the song. Just watch each channels individual volume.

The one thing I notice in every one of your songs is the large amount of variety. That can be really good most times, but don't make it so that you can't sustain a decent groove for a bit.

Another thing that kinda bugs me is the lack of bass... I don't doubt that there's some lower instrument in there, but I can't really get into it. Trance usually has an offbeat or rhythmic variation of that pattern.

I really did like that stuttering synth though, it gave a glitchy yet ambient feel... I'm assuming you used a bit of reverb on it? :) At the end you used this arp... it could work really well as an outro, but make sure it's in the same scale.

You've got a lot of great ideas, but you just need to work on getting everything smoothed out and organized.

Hope that wasn't too critical... :P Oh, and kudos to EchozAurora. :)

Nice job, keep it up man.

That's a pretty cool intro there. Nice portamento or whatever. :P

The sub bass was strong, but try complementing it with a scratchier reese. Your drums are really energetic, but I'd suggest using a punchier snare. If you boost some of the low-mid and high frequencies, I think you'll like what you get.

The swing on the beat was awesome, though. :)

Keep it up.

I really like those reversed vocal sounding pads at the beginning. The vox were nice too... The wave shaping/distortion on them was interesting, in a good way that is. You use reversed samples really well, I've gotta it to you. This sounds like it took a long time to make. I could really get lost in this...

I checked out your stuff at beatport; I might buy the CD though.

Kudos on the awesome track. ;)

I really like that harp at the beginning. The subtle fade in of the french horns was really cool. :D

Ahh.. That's a really cool violin lead. I might be getting this out of nowhere, but I think a sitar playing a few notes along with the melody (softly) would sound really cool. The whole song sounds really asian to me for some odd reason... :P Like something you would hear in crouching tiger, you know?

But again, I loved those delayed harps. Really relaxing piece, man. I've gotta 5 it. ;)

Keep up the awesome work!

I'm really stressed right now, I've got two papers to type and two tests to study for.... and it's 1:30... So yea, this really helped me calm down a bit.

I probably should be working though, sorry for a short review. I can never be disappointed whenever you've got a new track out. :)

Peace

ignore the noob >_>

Anyway, this was really pleasant to listen to. :) I don't have too much to critique, because I really enjoyed the composition.

Actually there is this one note that you kinda slide up to.. it stands out a bit more than I would have liked, but it's not a huge deal. lol I wish I knew how to talk piano terminology and explain it to you fully, but... I can't. :P

This is really beautiful. :) The piano was excellent, I just love how you fade in with it. :)

Are all of the instruments real? If not, you did an excellent job mixing/mastering them. I you did, you've got an amazing feel to all of them. :)

Now I wasn't expecting a vocoder, but after awhile it got a bit less awkward.

lol you totally deserve being in the top 5 more than me... And now somebody mass downloaded like 3 of my songs 5000+ times lol... talk about being overrated. :( That's definitely not where I want my music to headed.

But honestly, this was amazing. I'd totally buy one of your cds if you ever released one. ;)

Keep up the great work! :D
