first I must say that i'm a big fan, BUT, I think your last two tracks where much more kick-ass then this one. Perhaps because i dont like the tranzy sounds but its also less pumping than the other two. never the less your drumming programming is awsome. But i think you should go for the dark core break jungle or something like that. and then you must bevome proffesional!!!!

Good sounding intro...
Drums pump and sound crisp: good work!
Drop: the new synths are out of key with the gated pads, which is a pity.
Very well made track again, but not as smashing as the other ones. Pity about the out of key thing...
3.5/5 (would be a 4 if the melodies would be in key)

These drums are again pounding, nice work
But overall this track doesn't give me big impression. Not for one particular reason I think (so no real spoilers I mean) just a bunch of smaller things.
Like Surya told, the new synth after the drop is idd not in key (that's what my ears tell me). But like in not European music styles we sometimes have to get used to other feels (qua key-notes). Still I don't think that it's the case here.
Normally I'm fairly seducible by trance influences but the intro doesn't sweep me away. I think the voice and synth choices together just make it a bit too "commercial" for me.

Excellent production, superb.. BUT... there is (in my opinion) no bite to the track. It seems to be stuck in a void between a savage, dance floor killer tune and a liquid tune.. It either needs more of a punchy B-line, something more gravelly OR perhaps needs less bassyness and more strings etc...?
Use of Synths and Vocal samples are excellent.

so
I like the vocal and trance thing.
But the druns need a litle bit of compression, likes a little amateur for me.
But the melody is good.
The Bass could be more present.
I like the FX.
But you need fix the druns.
2/5 for me

like the trancy vibe and the vocal (would've been cool if it had more to it though)
but then u put in some rave synth sweeps, and i don't feel em really fit with the pads and the high synth rolls
the drums also don't fit the intro either, sound a bit overdone ... and just put there to give power.
later on they come out better but that's when the pads slide out.
dunno ...
production's really clean, but arrangement-wise i don't think it has that much to offer yet. f.e. the intro would do better with a way lighter drum so the pads and the vocal get more in front, and adjust the bass synth melody to the pads melody, etc etc...
well just my 2 c offcourse

i think the reason this tune doesn't have the 'bite' everyone's looking for is cuz the sub isn't really very powerful...a powerful sub line underneath everything else you've got going would make a huge difference...also i think the drums are eq'ed too high---they're a bit too thin (especially when you consider that you've got an amen type break plus i can hear the assembly line 'huuuh' underneath, but can't hear of the assembly line drums...which was kinda weird i thought...this could be a really solid tune with a bit more work...

Oh, I use this sample sometimes too, always without the drums (I don't have those).
How old is that sample anyway, coz I was listening to some rave music from 1992 the other day, and it was in 2 of those tracks too

I sort of completely follow cyrilsneer in this. To me the 'out of key'-things sounds just great, it's has something special. The way you modulate and play with your sounds is quite unique (could very well be they're overused trance-techniques but don't know anything on that matter)
Vocal use is ok and drums are top-notch, but a bit too much high-mid, perhaps?
By 4:00, the track has sort of lost it's grip, melodies get repetitive.
But the overall is very good.

I did not like the synth sounds during the intro, but the chopped amen break is lovable, as alway, and the kick drum on top of it... a bliss!
Very nice drum sequencing. Could be harder, more frantic in my opinion, but it's only a matter of personal taste after all.

I like the vocal sample.
The trancey synth didn't do much for me at all (except remind me of cheesy commercial euro trance) - I think the line works better when it switches to using the sound/settings around 1.10 into the song.
The 2 bars round 2.30 into it I would consider remixing into another track. I like the hard synth, beats, etc. Put a few sub booms between the weird hard synth sounds and it would be magic!

this takes a long time to get started but well produced, but once again as most of the tunes on this site, they are not my style, im more of a jumpy heavy sub bass man hard step stuff, like the way the beats change around 3.45 to 4.00mins nice work, not much in the way of a solid bass line though, dissapointing as the rest is so good its like beats and synth, thats it, but thats just my opinion
