Oooh, this is pretty interesting, I'm feeling all sorts of vibes. Feels a bit dangerous if you know what I mean? Production is immense, I like the backing oohs that come in periodically, kinda 10CC "I'm Not In Love" esk. Magical!

really abstract and dark, nice, i liked where the tune was going but thought you could have dropped the beat out more to give more of that intro (and outro) feeling throughout the tune. would be good tune in video game. liked the high melody that comes in every so often as well, cheers

This could be quite irritating for people -- but I enjoyed it at the level of a Dada/Punk piece of sillyness. Fun.

Interesting sound choice, you definitely are in right style... overall mix sounds good. The mood is strange but okay.

heavy start. terminator type gun shot beats start the rhythmn off. it's almost impossible to make a bad sounding electronic track. these guys have the advantage of never having an out of tune guitar, bass, vocal to cope with etc. makes it difficult to review i guess. they all sound so grown up and fully formed. this track is quite intricate and haunting in parts. sounds like a fuzzed metally guitar sampled (or played) somewhere. gives vibe of a sci fi film chase scene at times with it's urgent beats. cool and very enjoyable.

Listening to this piece, I get the impression that it was done using fairly basic sequencing equipment (the gun sounds during the intro can be easily recognised as sound effects from a basic PC soundcard), which makes this track all the more impressive. The general mood created here is that of some kind of war - the track's digital production reminded me of the old-school Metal Gear Sold games. This would make a good soundtrack for a similar game. I like the intro - creating the image of a battlefield is a nice touch and suits the rest of the piece. The drums are good and I especially like the little glitchy percussive touches. The synths are moody and I think that the distorted guitar parts give this track an almost industrial-type feel to it. The bass is also pretty cool - it creates a good groove that compliments the drums well.
Overall, this track incorporates lost of different influences that go together well to create an original, inspiring piece of music. Fans of IDM, Ambient, Industrial, and maybe even Metal will enjoy this track.

I love a track that explores production techniques. A good range of programming and sampling and mixing styles that picks the track out of the genre hole. At times I can here sounds of factory presets and the guitars should have a little more diversity.

A song where the main attraction is sound fx and yet I get this weird old western kinda feel from it. Maybe its the beat. Bass could be a little louder....the idea is cool....maybe a lead repeater type synthline might also spice things up. An enjoyable listen.

The mood is pretty dark to begin with, which sounds intriguing. By about the minute mark the mood is uplifted and the melody then starts to unfold.
I feel there are two fundamental ideas happening on this track: both good for different reasons. The first part (0:00 - 0:57) sounds sinister and lures the listener into a world of mysterious and possibly Aphex Twin possibilities. The second part moves to a much more positive and bouncy melodic movement. These second sounds remind me of light and playful techno tunes. Neither ideas are bad but need to be separated and developed individually. I was expected something else. Good arrangement and sense of depth.

Well made GM Midi track with a few good idea's but maybe with a little dated format.
Arrangement and sequencing are clear and precise while the mood is very much so a gamers coincidental soundtrack.Nothing more nothing less.

You've obviously spent a good deal of time layering these things together. I don't think it holds up over 5:30, especially since the drums never really drive the track.
I don't like the snare drum sounds, they're kind of weak. This is the sort of track where you really have to rock the listener, and with these drums this isn't gonna happen.

Very dark start. I like where it's heading so far. Gunshots? Laser shots? Hmm, much better without those sound effects. This has real depth and interest. Great mixing - they either paid good money or they're very good at it themselves. Everything has great balance. Maybe be better if it was a shade shorter, but I'm still impressed.
Nice dark vibe for the mood. Good arrangement and choice of sounds and professional sounding sequencing.

Shot effects pretty cheasy. Drum sounds sound like they are straight off a keyboard or sample. Bass is way to low in the mix. Almost 3 and a half minutes into the song and it really hasnt gone anywhere. Effect at 3:44 really cool. At 4:30 i think the drums should really come up to show off that soloish part. Good job on mood though you really got a feeling but i think it would be more fun if the feeling was a little bit more on a wave and not a straight line.

Lon intros are boring. How many times do I have to say that today? The gunfire sounds like it was taken from a cheesy video game. Overall, just couldn't find anything to save this track. Sorry guys...

sounds effects cool - drums realy original but may b need more contrast bass line. Track is for rite

very dark mood, feels like i'm moving through thick brush on a mission. sequencing is unusual but i like it. mix is good and the arrangment keeps me listening. this would be a good piece for film or background to a video game.

this bullet is inside mi mind now
nice how you transform the ambient of the song from a videogame to a hevy song to a space lisegic trip

interesting intro with these shot-samples...the mix could be a bit louder..sequencing is not bad...the track is definitely too long.. mabe you should add some details in the mix
- NeonRay from Bielefeld, Germany on 2May2007

Lots of ambient dark pads and synths throughout the song. I liked how a lot of the riffs were just sounds and pads with a drum beat, almost a nine inch nails sound. At some points it sounds like there are some palm muted guitars going on aswell. The breathing pad and the bleeps with the drums was trippy. Nice stereo mix, it sounded very full. The arrangement was unorthodox, it was hard to make a defined order out exactly, but it worked with the flow of the song. The mood was dark and ambient, and a little grungy and powerful at times. The sequencing was impressive, there were a lot of sounds going on at once, it was well done.

Dig the beginning build up of the chunky pads and atmosphere. a lot of texture and colours to melt into! Perhaps a lacks a little melodic interludes or motifs but maybe the artist isn't really going for that
- moZaiKa from Australia on 26Apr2007

Cool start with the laser sounds into the crashing waves. This has a vague Thrill Kill Kult vibe to it, but less overtly agressive, more seething. The samples are well add, but there's a click, kind of like a loose wire, it shows up in the section that is at 3:00, but all over as well, that is more distracting than anything else. The whisper of a riff in the background really sets this piece forward. Scary dogs, man. The pitch shifting is a cool touch around 4:30. Although its possible that the pitch was been shifting the whole time. The outro is long, but it keeps the mood. Thumbs up high. Sick work.

Your sound effect a little bit too loud in the beginning. Well louder that the beat anyway so it make it hard to hear it. Anyway well nice work on the sound fx. They are interesting. This track got a great "industrial" vibe going on. A grim mood, the sound of decay or whatever...I don't know if this what you where aiming for but if it's the case, well good job. The track does feel a little bit long...not enough dynamics in my opinion.
- desertedparking from Quebec, Canada on 21Apr2007

Good sounds, think it would be even better if you added some heavier - more industrial - bass sounds, ie like you have at the beginnign and the end? Some faraway robotic-sounding lyrics would be cool too. This makes me think of a young robot that is not yet fully mature!
- BlackStareBoy from Thomastown, Ireland on 20Apr2007

That is a DANGEROUS beginning! Ominous and sinister. Cool. Then the Empire Walker comes in, and the whole feel of the song evolves. A lot of work went into your production, and it's evident... the track has a nice flow. Moving into 2:30, I start expecting another evolution, and there's a hint of it at 3:39, but I'm still waiting for the point, even as I draw near the end. Add a couple more sinister touches where the energy plateaus, and this'd be killer.

I really like the evocative soundscape of this track. It gives off images of a western shootout in post apocalyptic land. I also like the drums and the simple plucked melody.
This is really cool.
- pultok from Wakefield, United Kingdom on 17Apr2007

The mood i'm getting is quite aggressive - very heavy industrial beats, crunching guitars. It also feels a little disjointed for my taste, it would be nice if the contrasting sections had more to link them. I would like to have heard the bass line given more prominence as well. The beats are very cool.

Nice airy sound, its pumping and puffing some air. Its war... I think I lost it when the war started. Overall, has got an industrial vibe and a futuristic war pc game vibe.

- secondmouse from Douglas, Isle Of Man, United Kingdom on 14Apr2007

Arrangement have no flow, this is more like constant fitting of samples. It is very hard to listen this song becouse of it's ardous themes. Sound isn't so bad, but output signal needs to be little bit higher. Effects are interesting but they lose their strenght becouse of constant repeating. Rhythm is borring and same all the time.
