Interesting. Not sure I really "get it" but I certainly enjoyed it because it's something different and well structured. The chilled-out lead synth stuff is great. Didn't enjoy the intro tho - kinda weird, in a bad way. Sounded a bit flat. After 30 secs tho, it's good, although the track falls a bit flat again around 51 secs to 1:14.

Overally, nice. 7/10.

This is cool stuff, I'm evolving more to ambient DnB lately and this fits in really well. Love the lead instrument.
Unfortunatly I didn't get used to the drums completely, it's really weird, every time I thought I "got in" I noticed it moved in the wrong way for me. You are allowed to try something different, but it should still roll well in my opinion.

I think it's a good thing you didn't enter the compo with this track. It deserves extra time. Bigup

i like the idea of an off beat ambient intro - very "loose" drums.
but the kick and snare you use currently are a bit too meaty, and kind of disturb the roll of the track, if you were to use a lightweight jungle type of snare and kick - you would find the off timing of the kicks and snares wouldnt be nearly as off putting. my advice is to listen to more tunes that are similar to what you are attempting and work out how they make off beat rythms work. keep at it mang.

this is the good sound. i am happy with it. it what makes drum and bass, the broken beat. and this is good.

only suggestion is to painstakenly layer on anothe drum to help make it snappier. specially ont he hits you want to accentuate. to bring out a really broken riddim.

it's a fantastic song. some nice samples running. need a cool hook, like melody or vocal, or sample.

fantastic song.

i approve.

rather tight sounds ya got there mate.
atmospheres all good. everything in the right place IMO.
ah, it goes a bit too crazy on 2nd drop for me.

just a quick comment now, a full review later when I have time.

Is this in 3/4 time, or what the heck this beat is?

If possible, check Prodigy's album "Allways outnumbered, never outgunned" or sumthing like that. It has few tracks that go to Nu RnB territory (think destiny child), and then break the beat up to something very similar than this one.

I think this is very very important track just because it breaks ground - atleast in scope of this website. I am very very interested, what we can do to DnB, if we travel beyond Amen

Interestingly, quite many has done just that with the 1 minute compo as their excuse.

peace bruv , deff. feelin' this 1
though i feel like drums are way out of the theme... hey but that's just me Big Grin
I would prefer doin a proper bassline for the whole tune and adding here and there ur wobbling part ...
Except for the drums and the bass buildup its a great tune trippy and experimental ...
and the whole theme i guess is too filled if u know what i mean , i would make it more chilled but longer Big Grin
cheers

wow.. your right it does sound a bit weird at first ... but once it rolls a few times it def gets hot... i really like the beat at 1:15 man real nice. i think the harmonica sound makes the song... gives it a mysterious feel.. song gets pretty sic after the second break 3:08.. over all.. i really enjoyed it.. i dig the off beats.. i cant get enough of them!!
