Right, we get into slightly old-skool, slow acid trance with this one. It's your basic acid trance track from way back then. One thing that immediately hit me was the amount of reverb used in the track. More or less every instrument has a long reverb on top. This makes the soundscape cluttered and unclear in my opinion. Instead of using these massive amounts of reverbs, you could have played around with the panning to give the tune more width. Which brings me to the next issue, which is the lack of panning. Appart from the stereo image the reverbs give, this track is basically mono. More panning please, in other words. The drum programming is a fairly standard basskick-hihat issue. Some effort has been put into the open hihat >> closed hihat interaction, but other than that it's standard issue. The vocal sample used is your standard girl-saying-dream-thingy. Nothing revolutionary, or even evolutionary there in other words. It's not all bad however. I like the layering of various melodies on top of each other. The melodies and submelodies interact very well with each other. Only the string thingy that started playing on pattern 0E was a bit off in my opinion. Other than that, the melodies were well balanced within each other. Sample quality was good also, unfortunately that got lost in the massive reverb. In conclusion, to be honest, there wasn't anything that excited me in this track. It sounded the same throughout the track, the first ten patterns would have been enough to give away the whole track basically. The same lead melody played in a loop throughout the track, with more or less distortion and filtering. | ||||||||||||

Bad case of reverb abuse, sounds like a party in a parkinghouse - so bad in fact, it makes it difficult (or even reasonable) to judge the rest of the track objectively. |
