Motherfucker, where you been?! It's been like 3214135 years. You walk out after dropping so many badass tracks and strut back in here and make me spray my shorts... And now what?

Fucking mad DnB track bredgen. Crazy flow, awesome ambiance and the musical concept behind it is very sound. It's like a mix between Pendulum and Delirium.

Cheers dude. I hope to hear more goodness sooner than later :)

cycerin - Spacefighter

"Wow."

date: December 16, 2009

8-bit fusion masterpiece. Wonderful track. Just wonderful.

I would say more, but there is little more to say. I'm gobsmacked, and I rarely ever use that fucking word.

Kudos man. Seriously.

Vibestyler - Skyscraper Two

"Now this is certainly interesting."

date: December 16, 2009

A change in your style/approach to trance I hear. There is still plenty of energy present in this track, but you seem to have taken a much more paced and less impact-oriented concept and applied it quite well to this song. The choice of synths, the minimalistic ambiance which gives fantastic atmosphere...

At the beginning it almost sounded like a variant of Oxygen (You know that song, yeah? If not, look it up. Sash and the original Artist (Uhh... Jean? Can't remember) did variants of the track).

And also there is steadily paced progression and a climax... I think this is the first time I heard something like this from you.

Fantastic :) Keep at it man, play around with this concept- this will make you a great artist

Vibestyler - Skyscraper One

"Holy shit..."

date: December 16, 2009

EXCELLENT work!

I should be giving you a 9/10, only for the fact that this is not truly 'trance'. This would be closer to being nrg or breaktrance (even though there's few dnb elements in this than there are honest people in the senate). Fucking brilliant track. Excellent flow, fantastic energy... Love the snap of the synths and the light kick perfectly balances this song out on a good set of speakers.

Totally playing this at the next party I throw :D

Vibestyler - Summer Rain

"Oh man :D"

date: December 16, 2009

It's great to finally have the time to hear your new tracks ^______^

Been so busy with work I haven't had the chance.

As always, your tracks are imbued with fantastic energy and vibrance. Rave-esque track this one is. I like the grimey synths after 1:35- nice touch sir.

I'll be going through the rest of your tracks to enjoy the goodness.

Cheers

This track in particular reminds me of this one minimalist house track I heard eons ago. Very similar approach you took here. And the psychedelic approach at the end? Ho ho! Good stuff man :)

Keep at it

Vibestyler - Bjällerklang

"Good stuff"

date: November 17, 2009

Great track. Lots of energy behind it. Great to grind to. Has a decent euro feel to it, and also reminds me of this one guy I knew that made music.

I think the intro is perfect. It is subtle and misleading, throwing the listener into an unexpected outburst of mental motion.

Cheers Vibestyler, keep the people jumping :)

"Brilliant song"

submission: Mechanical Planet
date: November 9, 2009

To the idiot that painfully pointed out the song is boring: This is a progressive song, you tool. Gtfo.

Mr.Synteza, brilliant track. Fantastic ambiance and a whole array of synths and fluidic samples to accompany it. The musical concept, melody and overall product is smashing. It's dynamic, but not overbearing. It's hard to come across a song like this and not find it convoluted (which yours I feel, is not).

Fantastic stuff. Keep at it! Hope to see a new track out soon :D
Actually, been waiting a very long time for something fresh :)

-In Theory-

"Decent stuff."

submission: -In Theory-
date: November 6, 2009

The track is good, but is indeed lacking something. The musical concept behind this, melody as well as synths are relatively flat. It is not to say that there's nothing that marks this as interesting or enjoyable- far from. However, you have set yourself a very tall standard (and for me, as a matter of fact... This is not simple flattery). Comparatively to your other works this is not quite as remarkable.

The synths you chose are mellow and provide enough effect to actually allow yourself to melt into the music, but there's nothing about them which gives them grand distinction. The problem is the balance between your very prominent and pronounced hi-hats (Please forgive me, for my musical terminology is rather horrible). The hi-hats could be a little more hushed, or mastered. It seems like they're a little distorted for whatever reason.

The melody itself is really relaxed and fantastic, but the musical concept you are pushing doesn't quite fit into the track. There's a lack of actual acoustic hierarchy that is easily found in your other tracks (Which are fucking brilliant. Viva la Mr.Milkcarton!, I say). It's almost as if you're keeping all sounds flat and not quite vibrant to overcompensate for your intended goal (And I apologize if somehow I have misconstrued your intentions).

The song is good, but needs a little work.

Do not let this, or the other two that have reviewed this song discourage you in any manner. To this date I consider you one of -THE BEST- trance artists I've had the most fortunate opportunities to come across. Your work simply blows away a lot of the commercial stuff and fairs well in the underground scene. It is eloquent, though-out and severely imbued with emotion. It is trance of its most truest nature. One can listen, melt into it and absorb what your music conveys.

The evolutionary leaps as a musician/artist you have made are astounding and can be seen periodically between your songs- and all this has happened quite briefly. Miles away, I think, is my all-time favorite song (and I have listened to a lot of trance in my life, my friend) and stands as a de facto example of what that degree of trance should be.

Cheers lad, keep up the good work!

Thanks for the long review. A review on here doesn't keep me from making music nor hurt my feelings. Some can be annoying (cough below you cough) but, I do get some gems. Glad to hear that I've still got people that enjoy what I do even if my musical style has changed quite a bit.

Thanks for the review again, noted everything.
