I really appreciate how you made this song 7+ minutes, because not only can I listen to something uninterrupted so long, but your song is great! I love the layered pads, synths, and drums, and the sound they produce together. This is a great ambient easy listening track that I will enjoy for a long time to come.

There are so many different melodies throughout the song, and each one is awesome! You are a very skilled guitarist!

"Grea vocals, instruments, and sound!"
I rarely hear trance songs with such a professional sound on newgrounds. This song is not mainstream-sounding, not repetitive, and not a lazy effort. The song builds upon itself gracefully with each new part connecting perfectly with the previous. The singing is excellent, the synths and strings are harmonic, and the guitar is powerful. Great song!

We were trying to make our own genre, using non-traditional instruments in a trance song. Thanks for the review! A lot of effort was put into this, in a short amount of time.

"Honestly I didn't like it that much."
I heard nothing special in this song. There was a piano buildup, a lead synth, then a refrain with a heavy bass, the usual. I see a lot of people saying they are dancing in their seats and stuff like that, but I've heard more energetic trance songs before that are much more complex and interesting. Yes, the song sounds good, but the style itself is not unique, and so I've heard songs like this many times. I don't understand why this got first place, but I guess a lot of people like this type of music. For me, I prefer something more original and exciting.

I like how it sounds very relaxing. The progression is good throughout. And also, it sounded great in the game Ongaku.

When will people stop making these generic trance songs? It makes me so annoyed! There is 0 creativity in this song, unless you count the terrible distortion which really hurts my ears.
Work on the overall sound of the song and try to make something unique, not just an overused trance anthem.
Author's Response:
you're just jealous, don't be so rude.. if you don't like it, don't review... don't even vote -- i, i don't care, all my stuff is made through my brain, it's not overused, in fact, almost every trance song is creative, your just stuck on making SHIT songs, what the hell is that grit stuff anyway?
If you don't like trance, that's why Newgrounds has GENRES. Don't click it if you don't like trance.. simple as that.
Anyway, screw off. :)

I was glancing around the Industrial section, disappointed at the sub par songs on the top. Then I come to your song, knowing it will be 10 times better than the rest.
I've always liked this song and even included it in a game of mine. Great work!

I don't know about "Best," but I don't know what the hell else you would call it but "Industrial."

Wow! How nice!
I loved how the organ instrument slowly eased into the song, making the song sound very majestic at the end. The song was very harmonious and gentle, giving way to it's relaxing atmosphere.
Recommendations:
1. Make the song longer and develop it further, introducing even more instruments. If you don't want to make it longer, try making a better loop. My suggestion is have the song fade near the end until it reaches the volume of the beginning of the song, so the loop is smoother.
2. Improve the sound quality of the violin. The organ is perfect.
Overall, this song shows you have the ability to make an awesome composition! Thumbs up!
4.5/5 (I'll rate a 5)
Author's Response:
Lol. There was no organ. I suppose the legato strings sounded like an organ at the end though. XD

I liked this. It sounded great with the heavy bass and drums. The notes were good, except for one part with the almost- happy bass. The song had great transitions, and the pads were excellent. I like how they made the song spooky, with a slighty airy feel to it.
The beginning was excellent, setting the mood for the song perfectly.
I believe you could have included some extremely heavy drums at a few parts in the middle of the song, right after the leading- up instrument came in.
Overall very good. Not really the most enjoyable song to listen to, but it was made very well.
4/5
Feel free to check out my music

"Much better than yesterday!"
I liked this song much better. It was fuller, had a nice chorus, and the song progressed as it went on.
The instruments were better as well. The main lead was nice.
However, some parts went on a bit longer than they should have there could have been more note variety seeing that one main series of notes played the whole time.
Try to spend more time on your songs and they will become more and more interesting.
4/5
