I'm the first to review...
Intro is as good as usual , atmosphere ... i fucking love it.
Like the heli and spraycan and what else , trains , cops ..
Dark pre-drop , drums sounds a bit empy but they're tight.
Buildup...drop ? Seems to be all the same... this time yo structure isn't that good.
Very tech like style.
Could use more drum variation.
Good to hear something from you again indeed !

Good intro, loads of different sounds going on, nice panning going on, particularly the chopper.
Gets a bit weird when the drums and bass come in, Really doesnt flow that well, Youve tried to do something different with the rythm which I aplaud but its a bit messy, particuarly the drums. The bass sounds are nice, and the weird stuff in the reverb is good too. The police siren gets a bit annoying. I do like the style good atmosphere and all the sample work well. Did you record these yourself or get them from somewhere?
I appreciate this being an ambient track and it does create an atmosphere and a slightly uncomfortable mood which is kinda what Ive been trying recently too. However Im inclined to agree with Greyone in terms of the structure. I think this could be built up into a proper stormer if you were careful to maintain the mood. If you want, I'd love to have a go at remixing this because I do like whats there, and I'd enjoy putting my own personal slant on it too. Let me know.
All in all its good but does leave you fairly unfulfilled. You say this started off as a hip-hop tune, are there any vocals to go with?

Ew, crappy sound, why 64kbps?
Clean drums, not bad.
Like the raw bass teasers.
Sub isn't great though
Getting bored with the cops driving by...
Drop: hmmm, not a lot of power, now is there? Dark it is, but that's all I can say about it...
Kinda weird to have your drop around 2.30 in a track of only 5 minutes...

Thanks for the reviews and advice, Trix did spit voclas over this, but only live at the club so far... I want to record his vocals over it, but want to do it at a studio. I will work on the first drop, it feels a little weak, I will also bring the bass up. I did a freq. cut on it so it was more punchy... TechDiff, I would love to share the samples, please give me a little more time to edit the track and fix some things, I am still not satisfyed with it myself. Z

I have a new converter on this computer and your site will not except the higher quality MP3 for some odd reason (up-load worked fine on a few other sites), I tried to upload and re-convert over 10 times... Have you ran into this sort of problem before? Appreciate your help. Z

Hmmm, what converter do you use? I suggest using LAME, best quality available...

Killer samples too! That dam chopper is fantastic, sounded like it was panning? Hard to tell with my set up. Dude I can't get over that warm sound you got going there! Nice work ZZ. Cheer's for ear treat!
