Well... Now... This is very strange song. Not in the way that it would be too experimental or anything,but that it is good song but there are couple of huge mistakes. This is also a clubmix of Lietains, but why this is mixed this way? Thats the big quiestion. Song starts nicely with sounds of rain and thunder fading away and giving room to bassdrum and bass that appear into track. Then there is first big mistake : The ensoniq sample has really strange pattern that it follows. It doesn't play in the rhythm and it gets to your ear too well. Then the song continues and it stops. Strings come in and sound good, it is followed by synth that sounds ok too. For a while the song is running nicely again until the second mistake : The piano is badly out of tune and that really bothered me. Ignore these 2 things and this song would be good. Drums are fine and melody would be decent, but now this whole piece is spoiled by piano and ensoniq. So do something to those and this is quite good song.=) It is strange to see that artist knows more than basics in effectsside but has no ears? =) Kidding, but really. Is this song some compotune that had to be done in 2 hours and the time ended and final fixing missed? Samples are quite good, some of them are 16 bits. Drums are handled well and synths sound ok. Maybe a bit repetitive but just a bit. Song leght is 4.53 which is pretty long to this kind of piece but tolerable.=) Every song should always heard through couple of times before releasing it. If there is something that sounds bad, it should be fixed. It is better for artist and to listener.
