This piece is well put together. The selection of sounds makes for a good balance and fills the audio spectrum pretty well. The string sounds add swells of emotion that contrast with the grittier pure electronic sounds going on throughout.

this song is an interesting melange of industrial, ambient and electronica. youn can here heavy drums, metal guitars and wide soundscapes. kraftwerk meets ministry.

I liked the factory feel of this track, but I get the sensation that we're watching one of those films where a 3d-rendered starsphere is guiding us through the cosmos. The drums are well played, the synth hooks are good, and the mix only suffers from a bit of a heavy hand... Good work on the piece...it's a bit loopy but still has a nice polished feel to it.

The sound here is so bassy its unreal the mix is cool and the arrangement is sweet. This mood is good for like some action like Miami Vice or something.

Engaging intro; incredible panning+effects. Definitely a stand out. Full sound, each sound has its space. Glad the drumbeat began to vary at 2:00 - this was needed by then. I like the complex rhythm that starts up there, wish it had continued and developed further rather than going back to original beat shortly afterward. Admittedly, by 3:00 I'm beginning to tire of the central, steady drumbeat. Mixes up again at 3:20, but need more variety by that point. The morphing synths do help somewhat, and the change at 3:45-3:50 is welcome. This is a complex song -- I'm not completely sold on the sequencing, but the effects are tremendous (ending is worth repeated listens) and the production is good quality. One that bears repeated listening.

This song has really great sounds to it. All the synths are really well put together, the bass sounds good, the strings are really well done. The only thing that comes up a little wanting as far as sounds go is the drums. The mix on this track is probably the best part of it. Everything is where it should be and sounds really clean. The mood was also pretty good. Nothing really amazing, but it deffinately does the job.
With a little work and some study, this song could be very, very good. It's already a great start.

This track is over-all pretty all over the place, which is both it's strong point, and its greatest weakness. Most of the synth touches are hard edged, and the drums are very industrial sounding, but the arrangement and the chordal structures are very light. The track nicely oscillates between these two extremes so that it's not a jumbled mess, but at the same time, they kind of compromise a potentially aggressive mood. This in and of itself is not a bad thing, but if erratic moods are the focus, it should be understood that everything else should be equally erratic...

Sci-Fi TV show theme song
The first 15 seconds reminded me of NIN, but once the drums kicked in, it became more upbeat than anythig Trent would come up with. This actually sound like it could be the theme song for a Sci-Fi TV show.

Nice intro - especially the way you can't really "count" it until the beat kicks in. I love the mix! Finally, I encounter music with some production values - the drum patches just rock, and the synth patches compliment the entire assembly beautifully. The arrangement is a little bit predictable, but there's enough variation to keep it from becoming boring. Altogether a very nice piece. Powerful, and well-done.

You have too strong signal in the begining but later everything is ok. That bottle on the left speaker isn't bad, I liked it. You have only two chords there - try to enhance the song with few more of them. You also have very interesting instruments there, they sound evil, I like those too... Rhythm is good too. Try with some more chords that will help you with an arrangement.

I really liked the start up,I wish you would've started the rest of the song with that initial big hit at 15 seconds, the classic rock drums afterwords were ehh..threw it off for me. i felt like something more wild was coming though, which was kinda sad till the synths came in around 1:00. Which i really liked, gave the song a nice feel; good mood. Up till then i got an odd sorta electro classic rock thing. I really like the bass though.
The lead out at around 3:35 was nice the little breakdown bit, i liked that, for some reason the only thing i dont agree with are those drums, i think it would sound really neat with a different percussive sound.
Thats really my only qualm with this song. Otherwise, it was arranged nicely, Sound quality is good as well.
As far as mood is concerned i get sort of a wandering around a space colony vibe, hah. Mainly when those synths kick in. I also thought briefly of the video game 'sim city' for some reason. I always enjoyed its synthy music.
And that is it, Overall a nice job!

Arrangement: Very good throughout, an interesting concept and well executed.
Mix: Good levels, nicely balanced and all parts clearly audible even through the distortion of parts.
Sounds Like: God knows.

Very Industrial sounding. Excellent mix, everything is clear and well-balanced. The loud base is a driving factor in this timely progression of powerful surf d3velopm3nt.
Nice Job!

Brilliant. The arrangement of the bass is griping from the start. The general attitude of the song is very strong and infectious. This has some real originality. The drums are well arranged and cleanly processed. A realy crazy funky anthem. The only improvment I could offer would be more direction... i.e. a distinctive chorus with an established hook. Overall very cool

This is the first time i belive i can honestly describe a song as hving intresting sequencing!!The Diffent sounds weren't very intrestingly placed which was a shame as the levels of Decay and Cutoff were perfect. There was a strings sound tht when the sng first started i didn't realy like but by the time i was going to critiscise it, it had realy grown on me and is the Pull Factor of this song. This song realy twists and changes as it goes along which i necessary in great electronica. You sound like You!

here we go
getting ready for take-off. drum machine sounds preparing to blast me off. Reminds me of an 80's anime. I like it.
