When I made this song, no one listened to it. I think its some quality work, and quite frankly I lucked out for my talents as of NOW. {iam learning a lot as I go on, and know that one day - If I keep working this hard, I shall be up there among the ranks.. one day in the future}.
PLEASE - check out this song I made, its not even my newest one. Its named "Her Soft Rain" and its on my website thanks.

I Mean I dont want people to lie, I would like feedback. personally I love this song. My girlfriend.. who it was pretty much made for likes it too. It reminds us both of summer rain.. which is the greatest. Warm summer nights layin in bed... or out in the dark having a smoke... with your thoughts..... rain.
I really dont want to make people listen to it becuase I may think im a great artist or something. I just want to share, if there was a point where I was good enough to make a demo, I wouldnt share it...

I am listening to it for a third time now, and I have to say that its the music I like... Beat is great, synth is great the raining effect really 'makes' the track and I also love it when it fades...

I like it, the rain/static effect is cool. I don't know how much money you have but it would sound so much better if you had a real String section to play it. It's really cheap to hire east European Orchestras and they're quite good, it would cost you a few thousand pounds to get the whole thing recorded.

Thanks for the feedback.
raimons: I think that sound, sounds great. You just seem to be a downer on it, thats ok I guess - its your opinion. Mostly everyone ive talked to likes that, it doesnt need to sound real, if it did id get the samples off the net, or in real life.

hey reflex, i like it A LOT...
..BEFORE the drums come in.. ur right it captures the rainy feeling perfectly, i really like the thunder sounds too, they sound really cool
but then when the beats come in.... hmmmmm... well at first i dont like them, they dont seem to fit in with the rest of the song
but then later on i like them more, maybe they just take getting used to
..or maybe it would be nicer if they didn't come in quite so abruptly.. like they faded in, then built up slowly..
overall though, i like it a lot! especially the rain and thunder sounds, and that gentle background synth

Just had a listen at work....couldn't get the download to work at all so just stream played em which seemed to work ok...
Are all 3 tracks on their the same?... as they all come out the same on my machine...(using Winamp to stream...)...
Don't really know what I think....didn't really strike me one way or the other; I think I've heard too much of this sort of music (you know, lazy synths, loopy drums with beats on the 2 & 4...)...and my mind ain't that interested anymore...
Didn't really understand the randomy bit where it all breaks down at around 3:00 from the end....some of that felt as if you were just farting around with sounds without any thought behind it; I'd work a bit more on that bit....(& don't bother bringing the same cheesy tune back in after that; it's a "nice" little theme but a bit overused throughout the track...perhaps take it to another place...)...
Keep up the good work...I've got right odd taste in music so don't take my words too seriously...

When I try to download them either here or at work I get the following file

I'm behind a firewall at work but not at home so it's a bit odd really...

You should get yourself some webspace & a domain...they aren't that expensive anymore (probably < $10 a month)...it would save all this mucking around with Zebox or MP3.COM...

Yay...managed to get it to download...
but I'm afraid it didn't do anything for me...(I did like the thunder noise bit...would have liked to hear a huge AE style mechanical rhythm developed out of that...)...the strings n rain seemed a bit random & noodly and the beat is, ahem, well....shit...
overall I'd say, don't give up the day job...
(you can see why I hate giving opinions on stuff people produce...but you did ask for honest opinions...I'm so shit at being polite about these things...)...
Checkout Moby's Ambient album if you wanna hear this sort of stuff done well...much as I hate Moby, that album does have some very moving bits of ambient piano/strings with layered enviromental sounds - I think "The Rain pours and the Sky Shudders" (or something like that) is the one you should have a listen to...

yeah, it might well have been...
Bside of one of his early singles just after GO, I think... totally beautiful song...lots of reverbed piano playing somple motifs, (real) Rain sounds (from a city, I think, as it had car horns & noises in it as well)....
yay...just checked the web and found this..http://www.moby.org/reviews/move.html .... it's the MOVE EP this track is on...
