Please check out my new track 'Alien Tongue' and post your comments here!

Hey guys, Pace here. This is a tune we have been working on (and off) for the past year or so.

The first version is on our website. I think the tune sounds pretty finished although there are some finishing touches that need to be made.

If you have any ideas of what to add/take away to improve the tune, feel free to let us know.

Enjoy...

Pace

The pre-drop part with 2 high melodies is a bit weird, too much pling pling going on. Maybe bring 1 melody an octave down.
The flow stops every once in a while because the sub bass stops.
You guys have a lot of potential! Keep'm coming!

Cheers Battle. See what you mean about the 2 melodies. I'm gonna try a few different things and re-post.

Respect

the sound's good Smile but there's definitely something about that snare. i would compress differently its tight body and make a snappier transient for its upper layer. anyway mixdown's quite cool. i like the changes at the ends of 16 bars. what bass does there, really nice ;] tbh, the bass variations are so good, that the track should really be in that kind of mood because the other melodies are then too childish sounding with the bass. also the intro was short i think. i would almost definitely not be able manage to drop it in time

Snare i lacking low end,
kick sounds too overdriven,
Hats are disappearing in the synths.
Try to compress your synthesizers more because the drums aren't really getting out there.
The mixdown is a minor to this track.
Feeling the melody, though,
Really feeling this track, but the mixdown & drums could improve though

eurk0 - Thanks for review. See what you mean about the intro.

BLoodstain - Thanks for review but:

1) I'm happy with the snare, it's the best I've made yet!
2) The kick has no overdrive on it and on my system doesn't sound overdriven at all.
3) The hats/percussion should be coming from roughly 20% left and 20% right and the lead is playing pretty central, so everything should have it's place.
4) Pretty happy with the compression of the synths - again in my studio, everything comes through fine (not saying that it doesn't need a bit of tweaking)
5) Mixdown is the best I've done yet and I'm quite happy with it.

Cheers anyway.

tracks got a futuristic feel to it which the voice snippets add to, i reckon the drums would sound a bit better with a bit more swing to them and more sizzle on the highs. they sound nice and punchy tho!
