Hello, I was wondering if I could get your opinion of this track...I've been working on it for weeks and I'm not sure I like it anymore. I find portions of it boring. Please let me know if it's worth it to continue.
any comments good or bad are very much appreciated!
A bit of a warning, I use amen for about 20 seconds, for all you amen haters.

while I do hate the amen break, you did a pretty good job rinsing it.
Should have kept the beat going longer and built some more on top of it

Cool thanks for listening, I was actually thinking of that as well...but I'm getting sick of the amen so I just wanted a quick crescendo. Maybe I'll push that section towards the end.
Thanks again!

Im glad you like it! It's been tough for me to balance the crazy parts with the slow melodies...something I've been struggling with for the whole song.
I remember, the aphex ones...I had them forever, I finally broke down and started wearing them. Sorry man, any t-shirts you've had your eye on lately?

Not bad. A little contrived perhaps. Enjoyable enough though.

Thank you sir for listening, I really appreciated it!
This has been a bit of a struggle for me, I love the amen break and drum and bass, but the music has been so over-saturated with bullshit its boring (and I'm only contributing to the problem). I almost feel stupid for writing music in this style. Oh well. I really appreciate the time Mr. Braindance.

It is definitely one of the better examples of the style I have heard recently.

Bittersweet stuff, I don't mind your amen usage here at all as theres way more to the track, the amen is only crap when someone base a track on the break. You cant base a track on a break can you? you need music and you really have that here. I find this way more enjoyable then vsnares classical stuff for example, this isn't just way out there and you seem to be somewhat in control of what youre doing, in other words it doesnt sound simply wanked out.. I like the background fx etc aswell, the only thing I don't really like about the track is the vocal samples, the girl choir'ish stuff is sweet but the talking etc, make it sound a bit too much like an "breakcore/drill/whatever" chiché. Did you sample classical music for this track or did you use some plugin or something? just curious. Good job!

Thank you _awt_! Your words are very kind and as with everyone who listened I thank you for your time. I think I understand what you mean about the spoken words, they really feel kind of enduser-like, but they were recorded from a friend of mine poetry reading. Outside of the one shot drum samples and singing, everything is from reason and logic. I used a weird violin sample that plays right over the choir singing, thats slightly off key, I was hoping to create some kind of tension before it went back into a beat. Besides that I played everything and just tried my best to make it sound as real as possible.
