now what is that ... unusual to me
i dont listen to that style i have to say.
pretty forward and clubby at the first glance

the first minute is good and makes u get into it quiet good as a listener i feel.

then u get that ... what shall i call it ... "boing" instrument in there
theres not alot going on with it u slightly mess around with it but its not enough in my ears ... not exciting enough
im kind of gettin sick of it when u let it run so long maybe stoppin it a measure and then kick it back in.
its so foreground i dunno i cannot really give any critique on the rest just sound allright to me.

one thing, i must say i dont agree with u on the choices of cymbals
they are like nails on a blackboard to me ... eeeek!

sounddesign is nice but i cannot say that im stunned by the mood or arrengment.

First of all thanks for listening. I posted my track on other forums and it the track definately is missing something. So I have to change that! A leadsynth with some other elements would lift the track up.
Your comment about the cymbals amazes me to be honest. I never heard anyone about it.

Thx for your review!

hey!

Thx for listening! I agree. The track misses some character because the sounds are a bit minimal and also the main stab is a bit 'standard' sound. At the moment I'm busy with some extra elements. Thanks for the advice!

try changing the groove a bit...add some drum loops behind it,cos it will give the extra playfulness.
