I like the riser at the beginning and the bassy groove at :12. The filtering work at :30 is also impressive, and I like the more atmospheric elements shortly thereafter. The drums could’ve been a tad more prominent in the mix at times, and at some point I would’ve liked to hear some more memorable melodic content or other memorable riffs. Right now, the bassline is taking up a lot of space at the foreground of the mix, and while the atmosphere is lush and full, it’s not quite enough to capture my attention for the entire piece. The breakdown at 2:26 helps add some variety for a while, but I kept waiting for the big emotional height of the piece with the soaring melody that never quite came. Overall, I’m really impressed with the production, sound design, and progression of this one. The composition could’ve used a stronger point of arrival towards the end, but that’s my main complaint here. Keep up the good work, guys! ^_^

Blazing fast pace, dirty bass, nice beats, and great transitions.

My only complaint is it's hard to make out the percussion in the beginning and it sounds a bit mid-range heavy throughout the piece. Everything but the bass at least. Particularly 1:09 could benefit from just a bit less on the synths on the side, slightly less sub bass, and a bit less compression. Or a bit less volume on different elements going into the compressor. Take your pick. Cleaning up frequencies and levels would make this a solid 9.5 for me.

I'm not sure if you meant to leave in the clicks where string samples come in at 2:48 or so. That can be smoothed with a bit of playing with attack.

The whale-like ooooo is a bit too present for me.

Otherwise, fantastic piece, great listen. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!

OMG This is so Nasty! :0
I Love this! Great job guys! :DD
