I like the sounds, melodies and production but the arrangement could be more fluid. The variations in the middle are nice. Try changing into a completely unrelated key or include some yodeling.

I'm afraid no such changes can be made! If anything I might do another mix with some level changes and a tad more variation.. but thank you for the suggestions fleetmouse :D

Yeah i totally agree. I would like to see you really try a variety of new things. I can see that you have an ear for this, i just get that feeling from listening to this. I would like to hear some more like it.
Sorry to be overly enthusiastic but i am in a great mood today and i really liked this ;o)

This is the most complete track I have heard from you Max, also one of the most complete on the board, however rather than be another bottom feeder I will offer some opinion into the track.
The biggest point is that this sounds more like a Horsefactory track than a Xammax track, and I am a little concerned that you have made something to how you think people wanted to hear it rather than what you wanted to really make. This obviously could be complete shit but the BoC coupled with ae seems to be the order of the day at the moment...and whilst it is surely better than anything I could come up with, it still sounds a little too much like generic, run of the mill, 'IDM' that a million wannabes knock out a million tracks of each day.
It is clear you have talent enough to go far but you need to keep exanding and developing until you reach a unique sound of your own that truely sets you apart from everyone else.
Don't take this as a negative view of the track, I really really like it and have listened to it on repeat a couple of times. :)

This is the kind of review I was expecting, Lee. To me, this also sounds like generic IDM, I'm willing to admit. The fact that it sounds more complete than anything I've made is because of this; I had to put off trying to make something that would blow peoples minds so that I could actually finish a track. Constant attempts at being experimental were stifling my creativity, so I went with a more focused route. I concentrated more on arrangement and production than individual sounds, so it's no surprise that it sounds quite run-of-the mill. Rest assured though, I'm on my way up :)
Thanks for listening/reviewing :D

haha shit...I just realised how that looked. There is a massive difference there, your tracks I feel. They are packed with emotion which is something I didn't get from Max's...what i really wanted to say is that he did a track in your style but without the feeling behind it...it sounded a bit like "here is a chunk of sound" rather than "here is a peice of me"...haha I shouldn't have to explain this, you know I love your stuff.

Definitely sounds better on headphones. But yeah, well done babe this is definitely your best track. I think a big part of it is the use of a melody. Well done and I hope this is the beginning of something for you x

I'm not surprised if it sounds better on headphones, I only ever make music on them.

I do really like the song, although I think a little more varitions with the drums sounds would be cool. I like the glitch effects I dont think you overused them. All and all nice track, it kind of reminds me of the album leaf
ill listen to it a few more times and see if I can give a better critique
nice work

i like the track. however ecnadniarb is right with that "IDM" thing. and that snare...the drums could really be more varied. i could blah blah a bit more but braindance backwards has mostly expressed what i think about it. i wanna sleep
enqueued in my playlist, anyway
p.s. that synth at the end is one of my favs, i used it long time ago, great sound
good night
