Intro is nice. you could have started it without drums and then faded them in or something, but it works like this too. I like the sounds used here.

1:05 welcome to trippy dreamland Pleased

with dancing unicorns and the like. Bass drops in and out, not sure what to make of it.

long strange break/build-up, nice one.

2:55 Very cool drum-action, melodies are good too. Smooth transition back to the earlier part only with more drums, which are wicked.

4:44 hehe dancing in the carribbean with pirates, the natives and all. YEAH!

5:49 Seriously groovy. I like it.

Drums evolve continuously throughout, gotta like that.

A strange piece of work, kinda like an opium dream.

Great stuff

Wow thats a long intro, thankfully you finally gave us some heavier drums, although they're still a little lacking in the punch dept for me.
This track is super ambient, Definately different.
OHH speaking of different... around 450 you completely switch songs on me. I'm feeling this new part even less than the previous ones.
Oh and now we switch again. I like this section most of anything in the song.

This feels a lot less like a composition as it does like several songs being cut together.
Sorry man, I'm just not feeling this.

What an opening! Imagine if DJ Hype and Aphex Twin collaborated on a track! Nice bassline, but not digging that growling sawtooth, too VGM and doesn't fit. Vibes are very nice, and space effects well done, and breakdown is nice, needs a sharper drop. Again, lose that growling sawtooth. Good scatter beat, second chapter flows well. Totally digging the shift in chapter two, very rootsy, very dubby, and the breakdown is much better. There's that ringy sawtooth, almost works, maybe filter it and detune it and it might fit here. Chapter three very frenetic and heavy bumps, resolution is a bit too blunt, but once it starts well done.

My suggestion is too replace that sawtooth with a filtered reese synth, and make it sparse, though it works good in chapter three. Smooth out the resolution in chapter three, so when the vibes return the beat is mellowed more, and the bass is lighter.

Still digging your tunes! Keep it up...

Alright man. This jumps staight in doesnt it. The synths are nice, I dont like the drums much though. The snare sounds really poppy. This reminds me of that Amon Tobin tune, back from space. The synth stuff is nice but I dont think it works very well in this context. it doesnt really have enough clarity to work with the DnB drums, maybe it would sound better with half time electro beats rather than the DnB stuff. Drop in is weird. Theres some nice things in the drums, but the snare really isnt coming through enough IMO, it doesnt seem to flow properly. The synth stuff gets pretty boring as well. Its cool but its just a 2 bar pattern going over and over. Final section comes out from nowhere, its quite funny but it has no connection with the original themes, the bass sounds really odd too, like a sample thats been sped up in a granulizer too much. This bit just just doesnt work IMO. Its nice and would make a good tune, but to me it just sounds completely out of context.
I think there are some cool ideas in here, but I think they are far better suited to different styles. I think the synth stuff would sound a lot better with a more half time, electronic drum beat. Im not saying the drums in this are bad, theyre pretty cool in places. But I just dont think this really works together. Because of the flowing, a-rythmical style of the pads etc. The drums just seem to confuse the whole equation. Some simpler, slower drums would give a much more obvious rythmic standpoint, but would still compliment the synth work.

i didn't like the melody you chose for this song or songs.. which brings me to my question. How many songs are actually in this one track? I say you should limit how many themes your using for a single track and if its going to be 8 minutes then make sure someone wants to listen to this song for 8 minutes.

I like the drum leads you used

rabbeat, your a nice person.
I bet you could have made a sound track for a kid's show if you wanted to. I dont mind multi-themed songs because then even if i dont like one part of it i might like the other parts. it was quite unique and id have to give you 7/10.
