Another simple but good little thing! Basic but functional beat; exotic sounding synth... not a huge fan of the one that kicks in around ~40s, it's a bit all over the place, doesn't feel like it adds to the melody, but props on experimenting with additional layers!

Loops pretty good too... basic but not bad at all.

thank u, i saw ur other comment as well, i got admittedly weak flstudio experience but i like to think ive learned the ropes a fair bit compared to stuff from months ago :]

Not too complex but definitely catchy! Shifts up nicely after the third second mark, less notably but also suitably around the ten second one, and ends with a creative little off beat hit...

It is a little simple, beat and synth, good rhythm but not really a full-fledged track IMO. Would be cool if you could transform it further. Feel like it'd work well for a comedy sketch or similar as is otherwise, without words, one that builds towards a punchline and then... all good. Good length for that kind of material.

Really is catchy too... nice work.

Is that Bane in the background, or Darth Vader? :P Sounds like a breath, or like a swoosh, the subtle shake of a rail as a train runs a curve maybe, but not reoccurring enough to be such a thing, wonder what it is, instrument or sample...

The melody definitely gets into chase mode pretty quick, and keeps you hooked until the end, varied and rich. The breath however does get a little repetitive, and the end's sudden. The intro felt just right - about as long as it'd take someone to open a car door and commence chase, but towards the end it just fades, builds and builds and then... it's over. Feels kinda incomplete.

Love the vibe here otherwise. Strong eighties. I love synth like this, and this'd work great for a chase as is, does doth feel like it could be polished further.

Miami Nights 1984 hmm, don't think I've listened to them, but this does give me a Nightrider kind of vibe, which seems a bit in line with at least what the name seems to imply their style is...

This'd be a good groove for a ride too. In the night, city lights playing overhead, passing by in a somewhat repetitive rhythm, light after light, night after night... feels a bit like the typical Apex Twins structure too, repetitive but with occasional pause/shift in the beat, so it becomes more so hypnotic than annoying. Becomes as second nature as a breath of air, breath in, breath out, keep going...

I love the atmosphere. Soft but riveting. Nostalgic. Doesn't sound exactly like the eighties but the synth's a little reminiscent... it's a good vibe. Clean mix too.

I'm noticing the tempo on the recent dance track (Daybreak Skyline) might've been just about the same as this one... might've bridge genres unintentionally there. Picked up a form that's traditionally slower and kept in the same tempo as you do here, where it feels more in place; in line with expectation.

This sounds pretty much perfect. Mainstream House music. Catchy, on beat, with a bright vibe and crisp sound quality. Does get a little repetitive too, as is House nature alas, but I love the vibe. Atmospheric bright and head-bob compelling.

Sounds like a party. Great work.

Jazzy smooth and full of soothing grooves!

Have nothing to complain of here, but that it seems to pass by all too quickly. You're just getting into the dance when it starts fading, like maybe it wasn't the right dance after all, and it ends a little abruptly, with a punchy echo that sounds cool but also like more so a replacement for a thought-out, more gradual, natural, cinematical fade away...

The mix is so crisp, the strings are great, musically bright and wonderful... but IMO it is a little repetitive; a little short, without decisive beginning or end. Can't truly savor that dance if you rush it.

Past the minute mark the beat gets so crazy it almost doesn't sound like a beat at all sometimes, more like a flutter... I lose the sense of structure a little there, otherwise drops are on point, vocal samples have good punch, the shriller synth in the latter half stands out in a good way, hype builds, beat starts kicking off again and it all gets crazy...

I wonder if there's a limit to how crazy things can get and still remain audially appealing. XD Feels like this walks a fine line, the breaks do their part but it's just so overly chaotic... maybe it's an acquired taste though. The more I listen the better this gets. You get accustomed to the speed; you catch the nuances. The production overall really is crazy detailed, and nothing ever seems off beat or musically out of line, no matter how chaotic it comes across.

Good stuff. And a good length after all. At this pace you don't need more.

Wonder how long it takes to make something like this...

-cd-

Chill, cool and cathartic, with smooth vocals and catchy cuts... it evolves in a good way.

Love the beat in the break too; the build; the symphonic ambience in the background... and there's something special about that icy sound with tracks like this too. Amplifies the atmosphere somehow. Crisp sound quality; great mix.

-cd-

So rich in atmosphere this one... feels spacey, surreal, otherworldly, adventurous, initially futuristic, then in the second half almost more so medieval... though the structure/beat's the same on both peaks it's fascinating how far apart they sound.

Wouldn't have noticed the limitations in the second part without cormy1's review, it does feel a little constricted at its highest point, but still so great.

Vibrant worldly (or other) wonders in audio form... amazing work with this.

-cd-

I love those finger snap sounds, the shuffle beat, and the vibrato when it all kicks in... feels soulful; pompous; cinematic; chill too. Fresh and intricate.

The sound design's just great, and that vocal sample in back... sounds almost like Jay-Z. :P It's a style I imagine he'd have vibed with too. Random correlation but IMO that just makes it even better.

The structure's a little simple and repetitive maybe but the atmosphere and sound design more than makes up for it. Solid track.
