Really cool and atmospheric! I like the dissonant, melancholy vibe. It
evokes the imagery of exploring a once-futuristic city, which has since been burned to the ground. The bell instrument is mixed in perfectly, and I really like the subtlety of the guitar(?) in the background. It only flares up when it needs to, and it adds tons of atmosphere instead of overpowering the other instruments. I also dig the distant white noise. That staticy sound is a staple in your tracks, but I think you've completely mastered it. It always manages to add personality to your beats, instead of muddling everything up like it does when I try it xD

That said, I think the kick drum could have been a little more punchy. It doesn't quite have the impact that it needs for a track like this. Also, the last 15 seconds could have probably been cut. These are just nitpicks though. Overall, very good track :)

Thank you much for the well thought out review. I always enjoy it when people leave me detailed reviews.

The bell is a piano, haha. No guitar either. Just piano, drums and the vocal sample.

The staticy sound is vinyl dust that I almost always layer my tracks with to add to the old skool sound I compose.

saright, I wouldn't expect any less. I didn't put forward my 100%, hence why I [subconciously] didn't tag this tune with a "K~".

This is the best Dr. Seuss remix I've ever heard.

It's also the only Dr.Seuss remix I've ever heard.

Thanks!
You should check out the music video I just put up!

Step responds:

Ha ha, very funny! Oh God, I wish :P.

Goddamnit xD

Everybody beat me :P

Also, what do you use for your strings? They're nearly perfect.

eractnodi responds:

LA Scoring Strings, I chose them because they're imho the driest and most realistic out there. I used the lite version which only has ensembles for this (as that's all I can afford XD). But I think the violins really needed a first chair.

Oh wow. First submission in the MAC and I've already lost the contest, haha.

Good job. 5 stars.

Bosa responds:

Thanks man. You haven't lost yet!!!

Pytotek will have some trouble making this better.

First of all, the title made me giggle, so good job with that.

Everything in this song went well together and nothing sounded out of place, with very well chosen instruments. The beat is standard, but it works well with the melody and harmony (which are really catchy, I might add). The bass line also fits in nicely. Both the mixing and tempo were spot on as well.

My only criticism with this would be the transition at around 1:11. It's pretty rough, but it can be easily be fixed by getting rid of that silent part.

You get a 9/10, a 5/5 and a download. I will also say that this will be a blast to play on Audiosurf later.

GrayZ responds:

;d might have to beat your score on audio surf when you set it! ;)

thanks for the review
