FIRST

Nice strings.....got a nice oldskool feel to them....as has that nice sub thats come in

love that break.........nice use of it too......good fills etc....some of the drills may be a bit too loud imo

not much to say...the mix is tight, the edits are coool.

only thing i dont really like is that there is no real drop, the bass/sub abnd pads are in the intro with the strings and the beat just comes in,no break at all. maybe add a short break in there for a touch of suspence.

still nice tune as always Bigup

Wow, juicy use of the cold sweat break and some almost symphonic carpet over it. Really nice laid back groove. Lovely. Nothing to correct, it's all there. The high vox chords are super sweet.

Is most of this samples or did you use VST's?

thanx a lot for the feeds
I did use a few plug inns on this one I am quite impressed with the free synth called crystal, and I am getting quite good at making it do what I want, also I have a choir plug in sample synth called Magnus Choir, the strings come from a plug in sample synth called Wusikstation and this is full of samples but its a complicated old thing.
this tune was my attempt to do something peasant with DnB rather than the usual demonic ugliness.

Yes, lovely vibes created by the strings and pads in the intro. Very nice chord changes and song progression. That sub bass which kicks in during the intro is really, really good.

LTJ Bukem-like beats - cool. They roll and flowly nicely. Love what you're doing with the kick and bass working together. Good snare too.

I'm not usually a fan of painos but yours is pretty good.

Nice pads and chord changes during the second half. The beats haven't changed since the beginning, but I don't think they really need to.

The onlt thing I'd done is the strings sample. I still sounds out of place to me and sort of blemishes an otherwise good track.

Overally, probably the best thing I've heard from you. Nice work LF!! Big Grin

Yo

Great production, great strings on the intro very bond theme, love the wah backwards guitar thing in the background.
Programming is solid, drums espescially. Mix very good nice stereo image. Can't fault it really Just struggle to really enjoy beats around this bpm on a personal note. imo it either needs to chill or rock the fuck out and beats like this always seem to be in no mans land to me.

Cool tune anyway

not so keen on the large amount of rolls around 1:30 but the drums are well programmed otherwise

structure is good and the backing section is nicely varied but still needs some new ideas mabye more than two main chords from the strings would work better.

overall a good preview

juicy sounding mix. good production

hmmm not really sure on all of teh edits. seem a bit too much contrast since the other sounds are soooo soft

love teh vibe and sound selection, choirs and strings all sound fluffy, its soft but not cheesy. ok taht piano is a little Tongue

cool tune! keep doing what you do Drummer

Awwright...

Starts cool, really relaxed for DnB tune, intro is atmospheric and nice - but it has less reverb and delays we've used to.

Beats, hey, you're heading back to origins of Drum'n Bass when it still was rhythm trickery, with evolving and complex beats. Nowdays everyhing (else) is just Two Step-TwoStep, Two Step-TwoStep, Two Step-TwoStep, Two StepToToStep <Repeat>.... Nice, floats my boat nicely, I am too old to be jumping around a dancefloor in utterly wasted condition every weekend... Smile

Frequency-wise all is good, melodies are also interesting, although song is very repetitive after 3-minutes mark and gets boring. Even the bassline seems to vanish somewhere towards end of the song. I liked those experimental beats and melodies at beginning of the song and would have liked to hear more of that towards end of the song. Also introduce some ear-candy, stabs, effects, whooshes etc to keep me interested.

Dynamics wise youre more silent (less compressed ==> more dynamics) than everyone else, but I think that is good as this music for listening, not for clubs.

Excellent effort, have not seen you here before, so welcome, keep up the good work Smile
