Since I only listened to the lo-fi version, I guess it would be silly to try to review this track from a production point of view. However, I think I can review a few other things, like composition and the overall aesthetic you were chasing.

First of all, the song lost my interest at about 1min.40sec, where the synth lead comes in. Those keyboards don't sound cool at all, they sound underproduced. Compositionally they serve their purpose as leads, but they leave a lot to be desired as they come off as flat, squeaky... a little Casio Keyboard in the wrong way. This also goes for the big, long, sweeping note-bend breakdowns, with the exception of the one you close out the track with. There's a definate potential for more there, so much that it sticks out like a sore thumb.

In terms of how you arranged the song, you're fairly spot-on for the most part: nothing extraneous, no obvious mistakes, no big fuckups. This song isn't something a total amateur would write, and I could definately hear it having a prominent space in a good mix/set. However, I don't think it steps over the line into being innovative, and the cheesey synth leads have a lot to do with it. That sound is the centerpeice of your track, responsible for guiding the listener through the rest of the song. If it sounds uncreative, simplistic, whatever... then it's not doing its job as well as it potentially could. Given how the other elements of the song sound, I have faith that you could go further with it.


Now run with it.

This tune has potential and the basic stucture is good.
But im sort of feeling what other people are sayin about the synth sound. It dont sound right, but I like the bass. Cant really say much more due to the quality.
