Enigmatic:   Bad

Oh hey, nice track. The part at 2:15 did it for me, introducing the strings and voice synth following the off beat bass. Simple, but effectful. Got this Max Graham vibe going there, sort of. This is where the tune really starts to show itself.

3:15, I think this breakdown is too long and contains too many silent parts. I almost lost interest right there. If you're gonna keep the break for this long you need to spice things up with effects, stabs and what not.

From 5:05, the guitar joins the rest playing this nice little melody in the background. However, I found it to be a little dull and anonymous. All in all, the last part never really takes off. Why didn't you use the strings?

To speak a little about the samples, the kick was a little too low, but I did a Madtracker normalize on it and hey presto, seemed just right for me. Thought, I found it a bit too edgy for this tune. I think a smoother, boomier kick would've done the trick. The string sample was a bit weak, and mono. A fuller, wider, more lush string would definetly have raised the atmosphere several notches. Same goes for the main lead.

To sum it all up, Future Tribe has managed to create a nice theme and atmosphere, but a better samplepool and transitions would have improved, well, everyting really.

Excellent, without a doubt some.

A good use of the sounds, of the echoes and of the created environments. It is also a great talent demonstration and of imagination when using certain samples where few people would use them.

It is a good song that demonstrates that Future Tribe has creative mind of big topics.

The most remarkable failure is maybe the silence of the song that is not so worked as in some previous compositions his.

Equally it doesn't have I waste some.
An applause, and a greeting.
