Just finished this one a few minutes ago. Put a lot of work into it.. I really want some opinions on this! Criticism or whatever. Here it is
Locked Up
I got arrested during the time I wrote this so I called it Locked Up. Jail sucks.

Making IDM is now a criminal offence in some states.

I got locked up for underage drinking. Do I have to be a premium member to have people listen to my music?

Bumping this 11 hours earlier would have been more profitable. The board had way more users. Something like 50 signed in members and 80 guests or something.
They lock you up for underage drinking? What just the typical holding cell?
I got general population for smashing a window when i was drunk. Guess it depends where you are located.

Holding cell yeah, I got in touch with a bondsman after being there for about 24 hours so they didn't put me in general population. My buddy on the other hand, since he's an out of state resident no bondsman would do it for less than 2k, so I took a thousand dollar refundable cash option offered by the jail. Shitty situation all around.

My third court appearence is upcoming. Second one was handled my attourney. Dane County wants to be gay about it overall. In Milwaukee I probably could have paid this one off. I even talked to some district 5 officers about it and they says its BS. I feel ya.
Anyways I'll try to check this tomorrow. But the key time frame is 11am-4 or 5pm.

that sucks :( i hope you are out of jail now!
nice use of the pads in teh background in teh beginning. very subtle but adds a good atmosphere to the piano parts. reminds me of the Donnie Darko ost.
once the 'intro' is over and the background synths come in, it's a neat feel to the section, but there are a lot of tones that clash in a way that doesn't sound like it's supposed to be that way. i like the section after 1:44 much better, especially with the high synth parts that sound almost ... reversed?
the beat is cool when teh drums come in, although i think a rougher hi-hat sound might make the mix sound less 'polished,' if you know what i mean.
the tradeoffs between melody and beats are nice in the next section. some cymbals or some kind of hits might mark the transitions between all these sections better. also, the chords are great but there is not really a bassline or a sense of a main melody to follow, which might give the track a greater sense of cohesion.
the section at 4:40 is really neat and could probably come in a lot sooner than it does, since it's so strong, with bass notes and cool piano arpeggios.
all in all it sounds like you have several solid sections of the song that come in and out haphazardly. maybe you could take teh three or four you like best and strengthen them to give the song a stronger sense of structure overall.

Yes I am fortunately out of jail now. I don't think they usually allow internet in jail. If they do then I've been seriously misinformed and need to reconsider a life in crime.
The second section IS a bit "iffy", I didn't quite pull off what I wanted there.
I always have trouble making a song totally cohesive. Or actually I guess it's that I don't really try that much.. I work on transition from section to section a decent amount but hardly compare say, the beginning with the middle with the end of a song. Thank you for being the first to review the song, I appreciate it.
