Yeah i found this to be a very happy dance track from yester year.nice boom boom beat,and a lovely-ish melody that plays through out most of the 5mins.samples are good a little bit on the low side,kick drum could have been louder,other than that good track catchy melody

There are some nice key changes this one, but apart from that, it's nothing special

The second tune in the Project X "era" =) I think that this is one better, it has more and nicer melodies. Starts out really good, and it continues in that way all to the end, extra credits for the nice piano, that was really a gr8 job. Quite small tune, and very good samples.most of them 8-bits but it still sound real pro. The samples are very well putted togheter. the hole tune is a perfect dosk-pop song. Good Duration at 04:52 I don´t have any bad parts. This tune is really good. Love it!

Overall Impression (9/10)

One word - catchy. This is one of those dooph-dooph tracks that one could listen to repeatedly and it probably won't lose its ear-candy value in a hurry. Everytime I hear this track, I always think it would be appropriate for a game or a movie - maybe a fight scene.

Or if you're bold, as a cellphone ringtone. Whatever the use, I like this track and it definitely has two thumbs up from me. And a grin.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (9/10)

One thing I love about this track is its structure. It's almost hard to believe that this song was basedon a 2-pattern track originally made by Spin Dizzy, although this is the second attempt (hence the "2" in its name).

Not many dooph-dooph tracks hold back on the bass, but at 2:13, this track takes a quiet break until 3:09 - something I initially found surprising but something I thoroughly appreciate. It further reinforces my thinking of its use in a game or a movie - particularly in a fighting scene. The entire track flows. There are no random "spikes" in the tune or its beat.

Development (9/10)

There are few surprises in the tune of this track, but at the same time, it's not entirely unpredictable. It has a great buildup in its introduction and doesn't bombard the ear so early. One pleasant surprise was at 2:13, where the track quiets down for under a minute and then picks itself up and runs. I haven't heard many dooph-dooph tracks do that, let alone do it so well.

Creativity (8/10)

This track is the second attempt of a remake/remix (you choose) of a 2-pattern track originally done by Spin Dizzy. Considering its length and complexity - and sound quality, pOW has done an amazing job at expanding from 2 patterns. The only thing I'm worried about, is the use of the flanger-sounding piano used from 1:17. While its tune was appropriate for the track, there was just something not right (in my ever so humble opinion) about that particular sample. Yet using a regular sounding piano/keyboard synthesized piano in the background, was very bold, yet it did not overbear.

Enjoyment (9/10)

This track is definitely catchy and replayable. I began playing it at the office for review and it got some of my workmate's attention. It is now a regular track played in my car, background music when I play games (which I enjoy playing, but not enjoy its music soundtrack) and it even serves as my cellphone ringtone (from 0:28 - 1:17)

Additional Comment

This track has great potential - have you explored its use in games or movies?
