Fantastic! Its original, not repetitive, and actually makes me wanna get up and dance!
My only complaint is the common one: too short, and it does end a bit abruptly. But honestly, I'm glad that you gave us a concentrated taste of something well done and fulfilling rather than a really good loop that is repeated into oblivion, like so many electronica songs tend to do.
Looking forward to hearing more :D

Catstuffer responds:

Thanks :) Its a little repetative in the bass, but yea I tried to keep the melodies rollin :P And yea... like most of my stuff, I kinda get tired of them and just end them around the 2 minute mark it seems :P

To Short

if it was just a tiny bit longer it would be more awesome then it is right now...
ok forget what i said.....i forgot we can loop the song until the end of the world

Catstuffer responds:

Lol, well thanks for reviewing! :) It happens every single time! I go to make a song, I build about 2 minutes of it, then I get soooo sick of hearing it that I just wrap it up and tear it out into an MP3 :P Sometimes it helps if I have a few projects at once, but then often I finish NOTHING and don't release anything at all for a long time lol. So AUGH! I don't have time for this!!!!!!!

Nice

Oh yeah, I can fell that Pulse.
Your best Track this year, in my opinion.

I especially lick the melody at 0:20-0:26,
but it came and went right back off, lick some sort of flash light, ;(

Catstuffer responds:

I lick you too... ;)

Woah.

I'm really amazed by this. Chills down my spine.

I seriously love the beginning melody. The piano one in the breakdown was also epic. Really great stuff. You also managed to make a great beat in this song. Really catchy and flows well. It really is a pulse.

The song really progressed well throughout. The energy in this song really fluctuated, building up and breaking down. And yet even at the most quiet parts, the beat just kept going.

I think the synths you use are a bit overused... Nexus? I swear I hear them in most of your songs...

I think mixing is really well done here. The same can't really be said for mastering though, it seems like the volume is overloaded. Maybe you shouldn't really try to make it so loud, I'd rather listen to a low-volume song that sounds great rather than a heavily pumped up maximized song. Perhaps you should change that.

This is really a different style from your old style. It's great to see many improvements in your music over the years. Great job!

And the final criticism for this song: It's too short! Please give us at least 3-8 minutes of enjoyment, 2 minutes isn't really enough. XD

Catstuffer responds:

Thanks soo much for your critical review! :D

Yea, I do indeed over use nexus, but I'm trying to change up my synths enough that they do not sound the same from song to song. I'll continue to work on that, but sometimes I just really like a sound ya know?

I agree with you on the volume. I had the amster at 100% which is no good. You reviewed ~ Comprehension ~ and you likely noticed the volume was more leveled. I like to export with about 85-90% volume, but I think I forgot on this one, oh well, always room for improvement!

It's cool that you can see a progression over the years.

Here is my issue with length, I either a) get really bored with what I'm making and want to try something else, or b) I just get so stumped on what should be coming next, that I wrap it up. I've got a more powerful, peaceful mix in the works, and I'm really hoping I can get to the 4 minute mark.

Thanks so much for your review!
