It was the first song on your list that was a full song, and whaddaya know, it's an 8 minute monster. I'm down with long songs, and I know how good it feels to write a song that long :)
The introduction came on a little slow, and I think maybe an introduction of a filler percussion instead of just the kick drum would have worked a little better. You know, don't be afraid to use cool sounding hi-hats and misc. percussion. Sometimes when you do that you can write melodic parts in the song that follow the rhythm of the other percussion. It's a cool idea to play around, check it out.
The song's been playing for a while now and I think that arpeggio could have used a little bit more expansion. Just even adding some higher notes in the arpeggio at the end of an 4 or 8 bar cycle really does help the song sound a little more climactic.
Regardless, I'm quite stoned and this song is absolutely great to have in the background so no complaints there, I WOULD listen to this song in my own time.
So there's a few ideas for ya! Keep it easy;

I'll have two helpings instead of one, sir! I'm a large fan of minimal shit, you can always count on having great, clear defining elements in the track.
...which you did have, and I did enjoy (very nice little loop going on that 808... whatever it is) My only issue with this track is that you should watch how much you're adding to the track. In my opinion, per se, when the arpeggio comes in the first time I thought it was a little bit much to be adding over top the great drum track and that bass synth. Maybe just changing up the bassline to make it funkier instead? Really try to make the percussive elements in the song shine through. Give 'er a try if you like, and get back to me on how it sounds :) Or even better, just tell me when the song's done :P
Keep it easy captain kirk;

I use 3.0 myself, kind of old school haha.
Did you make all of the synths? I like them; very loose sounding but I think there may be a little bit too heavy of a delay on them. Very cool ideas used in this track, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Might wanna watch your levels though, there's some weird compression problems with the track. Other than that though, awesome shit.
Keep it easy brosive;

The effects you had going behind the drums (sounded like some sort of... distorted drum?) sounded great, but you really should have maybe zapped the bass from them because it makes the bass synth sound muddy. In fact, at around 1:20, I can barely hear the lead... OR the bass! It's all good and sounds good, but I wanna be able to hear all the parts :)
Have a good one mang;

My ears just got raped from this on loud volume and I must say they pretty much feel scarred for a week!
...but, unlike the guy who wrote exactly the same review that I was going to (asshole...) my ears really enjoyed it, and I love pain, and uh.... I guess that's about it.

...needs to learn what industrial is :/ This is mostly definitely trance, and I love the unique elements that you added to this track. Some of the sounds seemed cheesy, sure; but the new looks that you took on traditional goa methods were interesting! A great listen, really enjoyed the part at 2:30.
Keep it easy;

thanks man. i get that alot about my synths lol, kinda wacky, but i guess its because i want to try everything i can with them even by taking it to the extremes a little but i try to be innovative, im trying to make original sounds and compositions mostly, thanks for the review!

Why the fuck is there new music on this account?
...anywho, a pretty generic trance song. 3 step segment, good arrangement and I like that bassline; sounds kinda bubbly. The guy below obviously smokes rocks if he thinks it should be turned down :/ My advice for this kinda music if you ever get sick again? Follow some weird key signatures and shit man, that stuff will BLOW PEOPLES MINDS and possibly penises.
FUCK YOU
