Stoned

Bild's best work so far! Really nice melody and themes, and great work with the drumspatterns, but I feel that all these reverbed tracks are really unnecessary. Try routing instead. All instruments sounds good enough, except for the bass, which sounds a bit to short.

Stoned is one of the few examples where the song is evolving too fast instead of too slow. The track brings a trance tune with a very nice melody and overall mix/sound, but everything is happening too fast. Almost every new pattern introduces a new melody, new sounds or a new structure, which results in the experience that you can't get into the song. The separate elements of this track are good (talking instruments, melodies, ideas, atmosphere), but are build in such a manner that it doesn't create a real song, but more a 'highlight-fragment' from a much longer and better song.

To the artist: as you can read above this song is moving too fast. Work it out properly, give the listener time to adjust to introductions of new sounds/melodies/structures by adjusting the structure.
Other little thing is the sample you use for your bassline; because the melody of it varies alot (with respect to notes) you need a multi-sample for it. When you use high tones it is really audible that it's length is shorter, or atleast sounds like it. Make a new bassline-instrument, and enter it in mt2 in different notes.
