Its not bad, I really like that melody. And the lead synth sounds nice, however the fl keys section sounds rather cheesy, and I would suggest investing in a better piano vst.
Also, If those drums were improved, It would be a really great Happy Hardcore track!

It is a short peice, but it has a very refined, sophisticated feel.
I'll agree that the instruments sound, err, not so real, but you addressed that in another review.
I think to really make it sound great, you should try fiddling ever so slightly with the velocity and timing (I'm talking VERY minute here) of the piano, because it will add a human touch to it.
Just my thoughts, but nice work overall!

Thanks for the review!
Yeah, garritan really leaves something to be desired, as far as quality, but it's what I've got.
This track has some humanizing already, but that's something I'm still working on.

Avg score = 10/10 :P just thought I'd point that out.
I love this track, it feels so vintage, and fun. It makes me all inspired to go out and do something just like it.
Perhaps I'll head to the thrift store and try to find an old tape recorder.

Still is 10/10. I can hardly believe it. Looking back, I wish it had more of a low end. Sort of lacking.
Thanks for your review Rawmin :D

"Just listened to the original..."
And I must say I like this one MUCH better. That percussion is just amazing. And it really sounds like you took the original, and just gave it that added touch of instruments it should have had all along :P
Really nice sounding overall, sounds good on headphones, speakers, and even my laptop speakers :O
Author's Response:
haha the last version didnt - I had mixed it entirely on speakers - and let me tell you - im never doing that again - I had left my headphones at work and inspiratino struck and I was stuck.. so yesterday I basically rehauled the whole thing and and much happier with the results :)
and yes I fidn the percussion really does complete it - gives it that driving ethnic feeling - I originally had wind in the bg as well but I found it was a bit too much..
Ive wanted to re-redo this song for YEEEARS - i first did it in 2004 and it was crap hahaha..
this sounds really good on a sub ;)
thanks for the review!

I don't really really understand whats going on in the lyrics, lol, but, the song is just awesome. It is very nicely arranged, and the clarity is beautiful. I don't know how you get the bass so damn punchy! I wish I could do that! That kick is just so powerful, and I can feel that bassline!
Overall good job, and you must now come over to my house and make my basses sound good.

I read all the other reviews, and from what it sounds like, everyone (including yourself) seems to think there is something missing from this track. I personally think that whats missing would be little sound effects, just sort of shimmering, swirling things, and little echoey type noises here and there, obviously nothing over the top and annoying. Sometimes if they go unnoticed, then thats when they are really doing their job.
I dunno, thats just the impression I got from hearing the song. Good job though!
Author's Response:
Yep exactly what I think too, lol... I was just too lazy to put em in :P
Thanks for the review! :)

"Fucking Amazing. End of Story."
This song has everything I love in an electro song. Hands down one of the best pieces of electro I have ever heard.

I really like how powerful that bass is, ive been trying to make one like that for quite some time, so good job!
In fact a lot of the synths used in this are quite nice, good job on the sounds overall :D
The clarity of this mix is great, and that kick really thumps, if it didnt fade out at the end, i would considering playing this in some of my electro mixes.
Good job overall!
Author's Response:
ill send you a non fading one if you would like:P
and thanks dude!

This sounds like its going to be really awesome. I really like that bass, and that lead that goes for the first seven seconds. I've been experimenting with exactly this style, maybe you could help me out with making sounds. PMing now.
Excellent song, I await the final product.

This is a really clear mix to start with
Its also a very good Handz Up remix of the original, with some pretty good diversity throughout
It would have been nice to include the rest of the lyrics as well, but over the song is very well done.
