This song was wasting about 1 and half year in my folders. It went through 3 name stages:
1. Progressive Industry
2. Corrupt Progression
3. Industrial Detour
Or in other words; when I was working on this song, the file became corrupt. I tried to save the file, and decided to rearange the whole thing while I was at it. Fixed up another oldie, and I'm pretty happy about the results. Should have made it longer but I kinda like it this way.

The voice you hear at 1:34 is my best friend's, recorded on skype when he was rambling on about the production of Megaman games haha. He says:
"Nu? Ok, we gaan het terugdraaien."
It means:
"Now? Okay, we'll turn it back again."
He still doesn't know I used his voice for this song :P

EDIT: I figured this song would probably be fitting for Robot Day, 10th of July. Btw, my friend knows I used his voice by now :P

Could use a little more kick compared to the level of the snare. The lead that comes in around 0:30 is really cool...I don't know if you were messing with the filters or pitch bending, but it had a sweet effect. The buzzy lead that comes in after the voice is a little too low in the mix compared to the arpeggios. Fix those two mastering issues and I can't really see any flaws in this.

On second thought, I wasn't sure if the original string was supposed to be orchestral or synthy. either way, it could have stood out more.

I'm not too proud of the mixing on this one. I had a hard time getting the mix to sound right on several different outputs. The smallest tweaks would either channel certain instruments out to barely hearable, or make them way too loud. Probably a case of bad equalizing, but I was getting impatient with this project. Seeing as the file's been corrupted before, I just wanted to get it over with.

The lead's actually a piece of field recording from years ago. It was created by scratching a plastic ribbed surface, which I looped afterwards. Nothing special about it, really. I'm still pretty fond of it for it's industrial sound. Oh and yeah, pitch bending! Actually it's the piano roll portamento function which I love so damn much <3

Thanks for reviewing man, sorry for the late response.
