RE: Once again...comments pls. :)
well Mick, what I get from that track is a professional sort of overall production, again it is a competant track like the others, well balanced and all the sounds are ok etc, so in all respects like technical it is fine... but... I think for me (and this is only a personal taste thing), the track moves too quick - hard to describe, but for me that track sort of just gets going and stays going, (yes, even tho it does have breakdowns and 'verses' & 'hooks' as different parts)... i find it hard to distinguish the structure of the track cos there is TOO many changes to close together ... you dont have to put all your idea's into a track... that "do-do-d'do" squarewave sounding riff in the verses is very good but it get's no space to develop before the hook arrives... I think you're cramming to much idea's into the track mebbe ?... it's only the structure i aint sure about, generaly your melodies & hooks are rememberable and all else is fine although also i'd mebbe like to see some development in the drums riff which is a little overly 'boom-tish', (perhaps the clap is too loud making the beat more jerky/square and less smooth)
i dunno, checkout that snippet from Chris Organic (link) it's NOT the same trance as you're doing, but that's what I mean about how he builds the background and leaves melodies out... ok, your trance is more club-trance sound, but the hooks can still be in there, but heckout what i mean about how he builds it, or rather, how he works the less busy bits.
I think you need to SAVE your main hooks up and dont try to use too many main motif's all in one track... i'd like to see your track build more gradualy to the hooks,... But hey, that's just my taste not 'the law'.
