Sharp work here.  Intro is a wicked arrangement and slides nicely into the main groove, reverse beats sounding large.  I liked the little reverse edits and glitch rolls.  On the production side there's very little to fault imo.  The beats sound a little brittle I think?  Maybe a bit more layering on the snares for additional bite?  That's a minor point though and probably more to do with my current love for "bigger" beats than anything else. 
The tune pumps and is nothing but quality, I just feel like it didn't quite peak.  It's not that it gets too repititive or boring (I think you did a good job of arranging) it's just that there wasn't that extra little something that kicked it into top gear.
Otherwise, this track is surely the winner... there're tracks getting released all the time that don't stand up to this tune.  Awesome work, you should be well happy with this one  Smiling


This is a good tune really

This is a good tune really well produced. Could be my favorite up here or if not definately near the top. Good strong bass n beats and not much else which is what I like, no silly melodies over everything Peace mike

this is one of my favorites, and I know that 3 seconds into the track.  Eye-wink

right off the bat this is great.  Brooding intro with weird untangable techy stabs and a crazy not quite hip hop not quite dnb beat to start things off.  high pass break, standard. Eye-wink  You've got great subs, and killer movement in this reece.  This is pretty much pro quality business.  I think it's a little fast but that's just my taste.  I'd PLAY it this fast probably, but you should probably leave a little room for djs to pitch up with. Smiling

You've got great spread, both eq and pan wise.  Almost everything comes through really nice-ly.  The second half of the main bass riff, the high passed part.. That needs to be louder.  Really, the high end of the bassline in general could stand to be louder.  That, and the outro coulda been a little smoother.  dont' need the high hat in it,  but that's just my taste.

Apart from that, this track like a few of these others just needs to be sent to post production, get mastered, and be pressed to vinyl.  Done deal bro.  Nice work.

EQ - 4
Arrangement - 4.5


148 - Some crazy sounds in

148 - Some crazy sounds in this intro setting the scene with those atmospheres and sfx good work, some phat reece sickness going on there.  Beats are nice and phat. Can't help thinking those hats sound shelved too low for a 320 but still they are reasonably crisp.
 
Proper punchy drums in this one and tight low end.  The drops and arrangement in general keep it fresh.  I'm sure I can hear a Rezidue reece in there...

nice quality, but i dont like wobbles.
overall track artistic concept is missed here
as in many tracks in that botb. a bit boring.
variegated structure saves it.

nice fx/synthwork on this

nice fx/synthwork on this one. great buildup/drumfills in the intro! vox fits perfect - from the ghost and the darkness? great distortion on drums. after the breakdown the drums lose some of their impact tho, wouldv'e rather heard some rippin intro-style drums. very nice bass and mixdown.


good bongo sound but twould

Submitted by kit on Fri, 2006-09-22 14:26.

good bongo sound but twould be better with some reverb
dont like the distorted beats
build up is good/dark
reese sounds too robotic/thin
drop is good but the beats arnt heavy enough for my liking (snare too thin)
good fx though
cant hear any real bass
good standard structure
good ideas but the beats too thin

OK tune, wasn’t really

OK tune, wasn’t really moved by it…. Thought it could have sounded “bigger” in both the drums and the bass.. particularly the bass..  yeah actually, it’s funking me more the more I listen to it 7/10
