Personally, I would have layered more instrumentation together. What you have is great, mind you, but you can let certain synths lead as they are without only isolating the sound to just that and the drums.
The compression in this piece is thick, which isn't too bad a thing although too much compression isn't really necessary.
All in all though, it's not a bad song. It's fairly good, although it just feels like it needs more meat.

It's not a bad first song. It sounds like you got a hold of the compression plugins quite nicely, and the piece isn't badly composed at all. It actually sounds like you've got something good going. If there is one thing I'd personally recommend (although it is only my opinion) I would pump up that kick drum a bit more and lower some of those support pads in the hi-mids.
Aside from that, it's a great start. Keep it up!

"This piece exhibits your experience"
This piece shows an example of your talent for electronic music as well as your organization and instrumentation.
I cannot honestly point out anything I'd change. I can tell that you had to compress this at a lower bitrate for the sake of uploading it which kinda blows, but it's a nice piece nonetheless.
Good job!

It doesn't have the full oomph of a dance beat (as far as the kick drum goes), but understand that it is a difficult thing to pull off in the EQing process.
Although, despite that one point, this is a well-composed dance piece that would go very well in just about any dance club.
Good job!
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review :)
Yeah, I don't really know anything about EQ =/ so I just go by what sounds good thru my speakers.
I'd like to learn about it though. I know that eventually I'll figure it out.
Thanks again :D

You had a good amount of instrument layering, but I would tone the guitars down just a bit. They overpower everything else just slightly along with the sine lead you have in the ethereal octaves. Once everything starts coming in, the entire piece really starts to peak to a very bad degree.
Altogether, not a bad piece, but it needs some serious mixing work.
Author's Response:
Haha, yeah. Replacing the slayer with my own guitar as I type ^_^... well... kinda. Anyway, Yes, they need to be toned down. I just brought them out for the purpose of showing how it related to my other song "lullabye". The peaking is terrible, I haven't gotten mastering quite yet. ^_^
Thank you for your review!

Interesting little diddy about eggs fucking...... >.>
Anyway, I can't deny that the composition of this piece was intriguing and the mixing/EQing/mastering of this piece is flawless to a professional level.
While not my taste in lyrical theme, this was a very well-made piece.

You've got some mad licks, there's no doubt about that. You should look into joining a band (if you're not already in one). If you are already in a band, we'd like to hear some of the groupwork.
Author's Response:
well i would love to join a band, but i'm only 14 and i live in a small town in the uk so there aren't many musicians around here. However, when i'm older i am thinking of mmoving to london or cornwall where there is more of a music influence.
PS. thanks for the great review :D

This piece has that very original feel to it. It's almost Silent Hill meets a modern horror movie feel, and would go great in just about any dark film of flash.
Kudos to you.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review, well im glad you feel it's original, i don't like to imitate, images of horror i see. nice that people take different things from tunes.
thanks again

This piece has a new and original sound to it - almost that of a spacey jazz. It wouldn't hurt to add some more instrumentation to it, but it does indeed sound good just the way it is.

couldn't really think of anything to add. Thanks!

It has a moving rhythm, although there's not really much to it but a synth rhythm and drums.
If I could make a recommendation, add more to this piece. Maybe layer a pad or something and add a baseline. Your synth rhythm does establish a bassline, but I think it wouldn't hurt to throw in a sub bass or something to support it.
Author's Response:
Cool, I've got some ideas for the song now :)
