Yeah, I like it…it doesn’t just jog along doing the same thing for 4 mins like a lot of trance does…you’ve kept it interesting, piano is a nice touch but think it should be a little stronger…
Thanks Kevin
I always loved Robert Miles “Children”, so this was an idea to go in that direction, but different. I think the Robert Miles style piano may not have been the right choice as lead, but I think it’s really strong by the end.
Appreciate your input, as I know you’re not the biggest dance music lover
BTW - I REALLY wanted to get this out ahead of Easter - it’s a very long story - but yours in next on my list - promise.
Been reviewing it this afternoon.

Thanks Kevin,
Must’ve scan-read your initial reply so thanks for saying it stays interesting.
Agree with you about just throwing some loops together - I couldn’t live with myself without a bit of imagination.
The piano wasn’t strong enough, as mentioned previously, or did you mean the whole track wasn’t strong enough.
For me, I was quite pleased because I pushed my (very) limited abilities to mix about 40 tracks (not all at once). with several sections and leading up to (I hoped) a big powerful finish, I had to make some compromises due to my engineering/mixing abilities, or lack of.
Basically, best I could do with what I’d written, with what I know.
Thanks for the reply and solid comments.

Nice. The very first thing I thought of was Robert Miles - ‘Children’. I always liked the idea of a melodic piano line set against this kind of backdrop. Very atmospheric and energised at the same time!
I may be a bit late to get in on this. One of the synth sounds at the start reminded me of Newsboys-Way Beyond Myself, a track that in a few ways (probably rhythmically) is similar to this one. The solo string sound at about 1.40 sounds like a HALion sample. Even though you dressed it up well with effects, the lipstick still didn’t help the pig haha. I also really missed the vocals on this one.
Altogether I really feel it keeps up with your last track, which I am happily jamming along to on my IPod when it comes up in shuffle!
Thanks Bane. Late replying too - just had another couple of weeks in the mountains.
The strings at 1:40 were me getting to know GPO 4. It’s fair to say that we’re still distant friends
Glad you “sort of” liked it though. May be the next track will have vocals although now the good weather is back, I may not be so active with the music hobby. Next job is to upgrade Omnisphere & also download Cubase 8.
Pearldivers. Thanks for that. I shall spend many an hour analysing your profound reply! Just kidding
