This Caradryan is from The Netherlands and in his artistpage he mentions to be a fan of german techno, so it was pretty surprising to listen to this piece since I suspected to hear some Scooter-like techno.=) Well, it ain't bad song now either. In the beginning there are some of the nicest stringsamples used that I've heard, a soft femalesound mixed into normal strings. Actually the intro is totally based on strings but that ain't a bad thing since it sounds really nice. Then the song starts and straight away it reveals the main theme of this song and the background that is playing through the song. It contains of strings, bass and drums mainly , but there are some synthsamples involved and time to time synthpiano or something else is appearing.Usually in this kind of songs there is some sort of chillpart included ,but this one has a part where it "raves" a bit. And then the song again rolls on like in the beginning and then it ends in 3.56. This song really has no melody or part that will keep on playing in your mind, since it has no leadsamples or real melodies at all. Some samples form some sort of part of melody sometimes, but mostly this song is just something that lives its life in the background. It sounds fresh because of the samples used, but has also ethereal and ambience soundscapes. Sounds quite nice.=) Worth getting... Nothing major here. There weren't any great use of effects and samples had nice quality. Song was also pretty simple from its structure but it was built and connected well. I liked the samples that were chosen to this piece ; especially the strings and some synths that played on the background pretty often. Can't really complain about anything since nothing sounded so bad into my ear, but on the other hand nothing was that good either that it should be mentioned. Good tune anyway.=)
