like the title says it's... minimalistic

but i enjoyed making it

Like I said to you earlier .. the synth needs to change more .. that would give the song some more vibe .. the synth doesn't really have a meaning ...
The electro style is different for sure, it's a strange kind of d'n'b, not really my thing ... though the loungy feeling is cool ... but it should get more boost, maybe a longer bass-line with more volume ...
What you did at 1:32 is really sudden, it just pops up from nowhere ... you should have done something before it ... to lead it towards the change ... and it isn't there for long ... you should've worked it out a bit ...
The sound comin' in at 2:52 is also to sudden, it's a cool sound ... put it a lil' more in the background and you got yourself a nice sphere ... outro done smoothly ...
6.5/10 cause I don't really dig the sounds ... not my cup of tea ( don't I sound pro 
)

ok im gonna be brutally honest.....
intro pads to loud (u ever heard of a high pass filter?!?!?!)
and the drums suck like a mexican whore.
and the bass is not existent......although the noise that comes in at 2;54 is cool.
sorry to be so harsh.
its not my cup of tea.

Yeah at 00:17 the bass is blarring out me speakers. Throw your sound's through a sampler and mash em up. Sound way to much like preset's especially the sound used at 1:32. Oh there you go
2:54 this is good stuff man nice mean synth, much more interesting. Different what ya gone and done with your amen. It's actually pretty phat, nice work but the level's are all over the place check out 2:30 to hear this. Good work man, glad you had a blast makin this for that's what it's all about, nice improvment. Cheers ++Stu Maggoo++

well.......
sound levels are all wrong.. difficult to get right sometimes i know but go back at it later... drums are ok just sound 'tinny' to me...
best thing about this track is that synth that comes in the middle... it is phat.... but should have been the main part o the tune.... ye make a tune based around that... im sure you must have been buzzin when u made that synth.. iwould have been....
apart from that though the track is empty...
not bad.. but please take my advice go build a track around that synth or at least let somebody remix it

the levels are very bad. but keep trying. try using a compressor to smooth things out. the drums are very weird. the synth/bass thing around 1:30 is kinda akward.
there are some really cool sounds comin out of this song but you need them to flow together.

Youre defenately getting better, The drums are still a little disjointed but do have much more of a tight rythm to them, so a real improvment.
As always there are some good ideas going on here and because your allowing them to continue for a decsent amount of time the tune has a much better flow. Im not too keen on the intro synth, really cheezy but thats just a taste thing. I do like the synth at around 1.40, reminds me of old aphex. And the synth at 2.50 is nice although does sound like a preset, works nicely though.
Keep at it man cause you are getting better with every tune, and judging by how often you post tunes, you obviously have a real enthusiasm for the music.
I still think that there is room for improvment, especially in the arrangement and drum programing, because regardless of how skatty or random you want the tune to be, some sort of flow is required, sudden changes do work but only if used sparingly. The drums need a bit of unity between them, I can tell youve tried to layer them and fill all the gaps which is the right way to go, Try sending them all through the same effects chanel and through a gentle EQ and a compressor. In terms of mixing I dont think the levels are too bad. When you are mixing, never adjust the bass at low volumes or through headphones. Otherwise the chances are that once the tune is played at volume the sub will be overpowering or worse, barely audiable. Also, decide what the main part of a tune is and adjust everything around that, and bare in mind that something which sounds good on its own may not blend with everything when its played together.
Im glad that your trying to do your own thing because ultimately this will pay off, and besides there is far to much generic music out there already.
I'll give you 7 out of 10 because of the real improvment since the last one. Keep at it!.

That was sick, totally pumulled the Rolland 808, sick sick sick. guy stick to that sound and add some crazy basslines and youve cornered a market. that is definetly a different sound im feelin'. I think you should work out some heavier basslines to make it bounce more. All and all baaaad!
