Please check out my new track 'Cassius - First Draft' and post your comments here!!!
Just done enough of this tune to get the basic idea, hence not enough fancy stuff to really keep up the interest maybe: however, what think you?

thanks a lot reckon mate. nice to get at least one response. dunno what the fuck is up with people, seeing as i do shitloads of reviews! its not even as if its that crap either, though it aint really gonna jop your draw.
anyway reckon do you mind expanding a bit on what you meant by the sound was terrible? was there too much high hat, or something else up with the drums, or what precisely?

Nice drums in the intro I like it's sound, bell sounds are okay as well, String that you add in 43 second is out of key me thinks, try to fit it harmonically, liking the sound of the bassline. 1:40 track is going but there are too many elements playing in the same time, and that string makes it really chaotic. Oooh man it's so annoying 
Otherwise it's not bad tune I like the vibe, 2:34 you turn that annoying string off finally 
snare could use some equalising or layering sounds like it's hipass filtered, try add something in 300-800hz frequency [just a guess] 3:10 breakdown that I like .. except.. guess what ?
yeah the annoying offkey string ! Vocal sample fits alright as well.
ok my tips would be : get rid of the string or make it fit harmonically. Layer some another basskick and snare, boost high frequencies on hihats a bit..
it has imo good potential, it's not just stupid tech-tech-tech-bzzz-bzz-bzzz-booowwaaam-bzz-bzz track
altough it's a bit repetetive after some time. geeet rid of that string lol

the drum is a bit flat imho. the vocal sample is nice and the hats are too, but your snare defenetly sounds to flat in my opinion. but the bass is nice also. keep up the good work (and improve this song
)

thanks for the feedback, particularly b complex, really helpful stuff.
you know what that synth that was annoying you is in the right key (i think. its a c, and the tune is in f or something.) i like it, but i do concede its overused. but when i take it away the tune sounds a bit empty.
as to sound gonna have another go at eqing it, change things around and put it up again.
thanks again. (more reveiws welcome obviously)

Intro is very nice.. like the bells that are brought in, would try to vary the synth as the one key held is a little off. Vocal sample is nice (Mr. Ali great boxer!). Drop could use a little more build up as it blends in with the intro a little too, mabey delay a little. Bass line is good. A little too much cymbal used as well, would loose a few of them and try to place them better. Drums are good, keep the track rolling. Like the change up in the breakdown (always a fan of change ups). Again 2d drop could be more pronounced, as well would bring in some new element so not be be repetative, them fade back to original melody.
Nice track, look forward to hearing the final version.

nice intro though nothing special
drop: too sudden, IMO you need a more building one for such a hard ride-driving riddem you got. nice vibe tho! heavy / emotional
sub hits too loud, I guess you'll be fixing the levels, eq etc..
Im not feeling the synth is out of key because it purposedly goes off, which btw greatly resembles BANG GANG if youve heard anything of them, they have those pitch sweeps.. anyway maybe the pitchbending is too harsh and it drops out of rhythm, maybe try to make it a bit more synchronized with the beats
slow part: I like the wobbly bass hits- not of the usual type. nice swing on the beats, but misses a ride cymbal of another type than in the main beat, try putting a swingy one
a bit repettitive but no problem cause the notes are nice.
with proper execution this could be a well epic-emotional roller

Yeah man track has a nice vibe to it,..maybe devote a whole section to that dive bass and go mad funky with it,...i agree with this being executed better,..build up at the intro just doesn't do anything for the tune as a whole,..when the tune get's going it sound's sick,...maybe re-work the intro to give the tune more impact,..for when all the element's are in place this is one hell of a phat-ass track,...obvioulsy you might preffer the build up so just me wee idea 
,...hope this was helpfull,..enjoyed me listen,...cheers..

This beat is nice. The tone of the drums has a nice dirty early 90s hip hop meets supercomputer sound, and the rhythm programming keeps my attention a lot more than some of the riffraff floating around the scene these days. The bass is also really sexy, keeping things simple, but sounding perfect. The droning synths also give the track a really dark, ominous feel, which is a plus. I like what you did with the dirty ride cymbal rhythm, but it repeats a little bit too much and without any variety. The breakdowns sound nice, and all the instruments sound like they belong together. Also, the vocal sample is cool at first, but then it gets kind of weird. I really think you have something promising happening with the rhythm section though; you seem to have a good ear for dramatic presentation and well mixed drums. Keep up the good work, I hope to hear more of this when it gets finished.
