well. it took it's time to get anywhere...which was...still really kindof not anywhere. i don't mean that in a mean way...i mean like...i just expected/wanted it to "pick up", but it never did. it was just kindof samey all throughout and kindof boring. sorry. =/

Everything sounds clean. I like that.
Doesn't have enough variation to justify it's 5:26 length, but that's my opinion.
I'd also like to add that I think you have a good name and I like your avatar.

made it in my home studio - sheffield!
too long - mmm - other people have mentioned the ambient/glitch start is too long - that would be easy to cut down and start the track near the first melodic chord....
everyone is in such a rush these days!
thanks for the feedback - i'll look at doing an edit anyone else with opinions on this track?

this makes me think of black dog (there's even a sample in there that sounds like a sample from spanners), in a way (outtake from spanners?), but it needs a tighter arrangement that makes the development more explicit. it feels like it meanders now, i think, but there's a much better track in there with a stronger arrangement (or maybe an additional, subtle counter melody).
overall, i liked it very much. i listened four or five times, and each time i appreciated it more.
i listened to the edited version.
relative to the total music output of xltronic members, this is certainly well above average and, i think, underappreciated.

Thanks plaidz you make some very good points there
so an even smaller track - more to the point and a development in melody - as it stands it is quite minimal with just chords in succession - but i could bring in a slower progressive pad playing against these would gell it but might hide some of the rhythmic intricacies
but worth a go
thanks

some of those intricacies could probably stand a little more foreground presence.
the track doesn't necessarily need to be smaller. in fact, after listening five times i appreciated the arrangement more.
but i do think adding some drama in a counter melody and building to a more solid climax would help out.
of course the most important advice is to be wary of advice...

mmm.. didn't really do it for me. kinda booring after a while. some neat sounds. but not anything going on to really focus on. i found myself not paying attention to it after a few minutes while just poking around the internet.
i think this is the kind of track that belongs as the last track on an album.
like after the last track, the cd keeps going for a while then like 5 minutes after its done, this song kicks in. well, not really "kicks" as much as "sneaks" in.

It sounds like a Radiohead IDM track to me.

No...like their efforts on Kid A etc. Not bad but kind of lacking.

It's not bad, it could do with a bit more body to the sound (maybe a little bit of reverb?) though and the edit version is compressed a bit too heavily- it's the sort of track that sounds better when it's a bit more quiet.
