first off, this is sick....
from :20-:40 your melody synth seems a bit shy. nice vocals, but they almost seem a little emo (not bad though)... <3 the breakdown at 2:30 and the slowdown at 4:30, oohhh yeah.. then you start crunchin 'dem bits, ohhh nasty.. but maybe end with a lower note for more of a sense of closure.

Very interesting man,
Love the Atari feel at first, gave it that old school kick, then, damn, you really took off with this.
The vocals clarity are exceptionally done. The entire project has extremely good filtering, especially with the Atari style synth's going the entire time in perfect conjunction with the vocals.
I'm gonna have to say my favorite part is when you completely rip apart the track and have fun with it, choppin and screwin everything like a psycho surgeon on a patient :).
The angels add a very good over tone at the end, one that fits my personal tastes, so you's got a thumbs up from me there.
I can't really suggest any improvements because, well, there's nothing wrong with it lol. I suppose though if you have any future remixes of this type, a Atari type synth crossfading into the newer distortion + reverb + quad filter effect synth's *shrug* I like the old school feel you gave this though, so in my personal opinion, it's fine the way it is.
The way you maintained the DnB feel despite it being pop, is nothing short of professional work.
Bravo my man, encore!

New one (2010) Symphonic Electronica, give it a whirl
Review by : jfm :: on : 7.4.2010 Rating: 10
hey brainworks
yummy echoey 303 synth there at the intro - ohh things liven up a bit great synths / beat . Man the vox as usual is quality, wish i could do that. Track has great pace and life - many D&B monents, great vox great synths , just a great combo overall. At 3.37 lovely little echoey synths, and off we go again, great stuff.
Enjoyed this one
regards

I have listened to this a lot lately, mostly in the car, next most in my studio loud and I love this track. It's very catchy and I find myself humming the chorus to myself a lot.
Production wise I notice your 'guitary' synths seem to be heavy in the mid to lower mids and not highs, which gives a muted sound to the mix overall ... which stands out to me. I imagine I'd drive the highs a bit, at least relevant to the mix. As punchy as it is, it feels slightly muted and could use a bit more separation - esp the mids & lower.... and drive in the sounds - esp the highs. Although there is a lot of space in this track, I think you might enhance it with some deft eqing and possibly light phasering (and kind of thing) to the guitar type tracks, but I'm also curious to hear Martin's opinion.
Ultimately the above comment doesn't affect my enjoyment although I notice it everytime the track begins... The song as a whole is freaking amazing to me. Very smart story lyrically and musically.
The first few listens, the stereo wideness of the vocal struck me as a bit odd, but considered as part of the style of this particular composition, I got over that one quick...
The dnb monologue and solo from 2:35 is S I C K ! ! ! ! ! S I C K ! ! ! ! ! S I C K ! ! ! ! ! This track is worth the price of admission by the end of that section yet has a couple minutes left - nicely crafted with a good bridge and back to the final chorus. The Black Sabbath tribute (war pigs is it?) that you go out on rocks hard and sounds awesome, as does mangling the mix for the outro.
Solid man.

Hey pal, Cheers for the rev,
I noticed the mood here is in your face, a mood that i would have to say was put there in the options only for you to use! Man your sounds are so clear and you are so creative with your fx. Wow.......the vox just kicked i, great wide sound on that, you say your sittin on the fence about the mix??? its one of two things here, i dont know what im looking for or that you are a perfectionist????? hmhmmmm.....Great beats, great bass, great synth work, great vox, great fx, great progression, great great transitions.....ummmmm.....to sum this all up i would have to say.....Great! 3m42 and boom! i love this mix up, sounds friggin awesome man. 4m35 and again the hairs on the back of my neck stand up! everytime i review one of your tracks i think i know what im expecting, and brilliance is something that is just accepted from you, But everytime you seem to suprise me. AWESOME! What else can i say, the day i give you any advice is the day the pope will come out of the closet!
