you've got some really good stuff going on here. I love the that heavily verbed kick. just puncuating the early motions of the track. Oooooo the 2nd phrase has just come in, awesome, full of redemption, great sound choice filling the edges with the choir underneath. The production is very good, noticeable amount of peak and troughs emphasising the kicks and midsections. I would develop that second section extensively, go for an extended remix, add some epic drums, make it even higher, but thats me innit. great track. 10/10 and a 5

Pitters! Yeah, I'm on and off these days, shitty connection and all that. I'm trying to get back in the swing though, I'll be sure to visit some of your new tunes when I get a chance!

as always fucking awesome, I recognise the general progression from a track by some body, the chords that is. Brilliant though, lovely guitar, crisps as fuck. Tiny amounf of clipping in the 'YEAHHH' bit, pops in my speakers. The vocals as per usual cut through with no problems in clarity or diction. 10/10 and a 5.

I thought it was a bit close as the track just kicked in but it's right. delay on the drums is nice, maybe an even longer decay or tempo synce to strect it further. Some very unnerving timbres in this track, haunting and yet theres a faint glimmer of hope. I like the use of dropping piano on the off beats, adding to that imagery. It's a jolly good piece, maybe a bit of verb on the piano i dunno, but production is other spot on. Good work. 9/10 5/5.

thats about as much as i can say. Wonderful voice, great diction and projection and an immaculate recording of that voice. I would be adding ambience to this track, really subtle sounds, or go for the epicness, but then that'd detract from the voice. anyways like i said. Beautiful.

Yeah, I went for the soft reverb instead of the full orchestra. Hope you understand :)

oooooooooo opening is very Richard Ashcroft, can't remember the song right off me head. But yea the horns had me straight away. the really low bass kick hmmmmm not too sure as with the snare, maybe something more natural. Alot of the instruments sound 'midi-ish' dunno why. As an arrangement you have nailed epicness, some very grandiose sounds and wanton immediacy, gets the heart going. There are plenty of interesting layers which my ear keeps picking out. The only complaint as mentioned is it's midi-ish soundchoice. anyways 9-10. 5/5

Ja, not all of the instruments are of the highest quality.
I'll have to re-evaluate and re-make them.

thought i'd give ya a review. First thought was i like them xylophony things, though they sound very high up on the scale, they work though, always like twinklyness. Theres an awful lot of low and mid end instruments all bunched up together, personally i would try to spread the weight of em with some panning. The strings and melodies are very nice though. The drums could be pushed a bit more up front me thinks. Overall it's a nice work, not essentially my cup of tea but it has a plenty of drama, peaks and troughs. Good stuff, 7/10 4/5

Hey, it's been a long time, Pitters !
Well, what can i say ? You're perfectly about the mastering. As said in the comment, i tried to put more bass and beat, but i still need to learn how to use them well. Altough i tried to pan and master the whole stuff, i don't seem to be able to do it. Well, i guess i have to give it some time.
Anyways, thanks for the review !

Peaceful opening, building up, chilling, lovely, this is how my head works. Just thought i aint reviewed your stuff for ages. Is that a bitcrushed synthy bit that pops in and out as it sounds ace. Something i want to hear on this is voices, snippets of conversations just random bits. Haha that static, it now gives me the impression this track is leading on to something, i want to know what it is.
It's a very simple track which is what draws me in, production tho is spot on, maybe a tad quiet i aint sure. It's lovely tho mate. If you ever want monoloogues performed on your music you should give me a shout never mind a bit of acting. 10/10 and 5'd.

Thanks man. I was thinking of putting in some vocie clips here and there, but never got around to it, and couldn't find any decent clips. Maybe you could supply me.
Anyways, that little noise that pops up every once in awhile is a sampled piano stab, pitched down with reverb and delay. Sounds pretty cool eh?
Anyways, thanks for the review. I'll try and get you back sooner or later.

Lets see what we have here then....Opening synth, a bit synthy haha, as the rest of the track comes in tho it sounds miles better. Old school synth always a good sign. Piano is cool. The snare drums doesn't do it for me, the kick is bassy enough, it feels very 'compact' I dunno i was expecting a meatier kit i suppose the 'verb is nice though, as the the ride.
Production wise it's all very 'clean' reason helps a tonne with a clean mix. Couple of run throughs i'm finding a better ear for it. It's a good track over all, has the breakdowns and phrases something i never have. Not essentially something I would buy but it's a good track nonetheless, good aural landscape. over all then it's 8/10. keep it up.

Bargh, if I just got a longer decay snare all my personal drum sample problems would be solved :o now I just need to find one.
Thanks for the honest and thought out review!

Initial thoughts, those xylo/belly things are a tad bit loud, also notice someones been playing with chip vsts. as the kicks and the rest of the tune builds in increments it definately sounds sweet. The sax is just sex mate, I'm gonna need you to do a job on one of my tunes one day. I'm undecided as to whether some harmonies would benefit or detract from this tune.
It takes many listens to notice all the little things you add, i missed the laugh on the first run through, little tiny quiet licks, and there is a harmony afterall. It's cracking stuff mate as is always the case, you put me to shame.
9/10 5

yo pitters, yeh those mallets are a tad loud. lots of wierd filter boxes, samples and distortions for the strange noises.
that ain't no sax, is a clarinet, didn't have the lung power for the sax today, haven't picked up an instrument for weeks.
thanks for the listen brother
