hey - nice guitar..at last something different. and vocals. excellent.

drums are too weak and sound too programmed...and the bass needs to be bigger...nice song though despite this...I think Dnb needs heavier drums and bass - take the vocal down a notch or two.

excellent- originality rules.

#155.  Nice tune!  Its good to hear some vocals, and they really make this stand out.  Your lead after the drop goes nicely with the vocals, and basslines rolling.  The whole tune sounds well mastered too.

creepy pads, nice nice. kind of an abrupt transition to the guitar lick there tho. loses the dark-slamming vibe a bit i think. regardless, this track is put together very well, mixdown seems pretty good too. perhaps a bit more processing/editing of the vocals. nice percussion elements thrown in, that panning on them keeps it interesting too. the piano sounds nice, but again the transition out seems a bit abrupt. man i do love that creepy-ass pad tho! i may have to gank it from the intro to use for my own future evil plans

155 - A real remix/crossover track this one.  I have to say it surprised me at first, but after a few listens it has grown on me and I even found myself singing this when I was doing my laundry yesterday, lol.

That midrange squelchy synth does tend to get in the way of the vocals...Its quite dry and cutting in the mix.  I'd have put it further back than the vocals with some more reverb, or possibly put it an octave below as there is a bit of space down there where I guess an electric guitar could also sit.  Or maybe make the existing guitar part bigger with some distortion or eq. 

The vocals aren't actually too badly sung, but you'd never get this played in a set because of them.  Still, by style its an original entry and I can respect that...tracks liek this show dnb as a hugely diverse style and should be encouraged.  The groove goes well with it.  Good work.

Im feeling this tune right here,i dont no if this is a remix of someones song or if its original,but its hot. Beat and bass are on point,the vocals are sick too..would love to know whos singing ,club hit right here..i hear nothing wrong on the production end. Yall are making it hard too judge in this compo,Sick tune

the intro on this one was nice. i like the gitar. and wen the tune kicks its very nice whit the piano and all. the beats are nice to. the vocals are nice after lisning to the tune. good work on the tune. 

see, this is an intro.  Set a stage.

guitar?  wow.  you beat me to it.  are you playing this or sampling it?

eek...

..I'm going to have a  hard time reviewing this.  It's only my taste, but I REALLY don't care for the vocal.  I can tell this person can sing, but I think the choice of key is more than questionable..

What is not only my taste, is that the high frequencies are way too loud.  I used to have this problem, but I learned after my first track submitted to this comp.  All those highs make people's ears hurt.  I don't remember who it was, somebody reviewed my track and said 'this makes my ears bleed.'  and that's what this track does to me.

Let me just clarify that I mean that sonic-wise, not taste-wise.

So...  This tune is definitely not really like anything I've heard before.  So you score major originality points I guess.

That's what makes me think I know who this is..

I really don't know what else to say.  It works perfectly in the sense that it stands in it's own place, and I'm SURE that's what you're going for, but I don't really know how to compare it to the other tracks, cause it's mixed and arranged in such a completely different way..  It's mixed more rock/pop style than electronica style..  and It's pretty clear that wasn't something you stumbled accross on purpose..

So, you're on a different curve than most of the other tracks I've reviewed here.  Where I usually judge against pro drum n bass artists/labels, I'm gonna go put this up against more electronica stuff, like prodigy/chemical bros/etc etc.  That being said,

mix/eq - 3, those highs man, those highs..
arrangement - 4, it's creative and good, but not the best I've heard.
total score - 7

the bass is a bit anemic and very little variation in the bass. too top-heavy. more of a cross-over indie rock number. the bass that is there is out of tune. pretty good song structure though and excelelnt melody and harmony elements

love the eerines of the intro when it begins, then when the guitar came in i thought ooh, spoilt it for me. i was expecting some sick darkness, which wasnt the case. not into the pella and the concept to be totally honest, the beats seemed ok, wasnt into the synths and shit that was to follow, soz, just not my thing this one.

wow...love the darkness on this intro pad...not sure about the guitar riff, break is abit weak and the vocals seem out of sync in some bars, not really liking this style very much doesnt really appeal to me as its quite techy. no offense but its just my personal preference plus i think the vocal spoils it needs more level work aswell.

I'm sorry but I can't get into this. Individually the tracks are good but the whole thing just doesn't sit together. The vocals don't sit on the guitar right which I find annoying. The drums are really basic too. It's a shame cos there are some really original things in this track and at the beginning, i thought i was in for a treat.
