How did you make it? Dance Ejay?
The vocals are good, which seems to be the basis for any popular dance record these days, but I have some ideas for improvement - first add a better drum loop.  Or a drum loop for a start. The current one is too slow and lacks any real rythme.
Keep the trancy bit that starts at 19 seconds a bit longer - this should be the main tune of the song.
The base line at the start should be kept through out the song, it changes three times.
The crashes you have (ie where a snare fades up at a point of change in the song) should be louder/longer.


Also it lacks structure.  That basic parts of the song fade in and out and change to often. Here is a simpe order used in a lot of popular dance tracks:

  • Basic elements of song - this allows DJ's to mix it in easily.
  • Queit with only main melody
  • Introduce vocals
  • Build up song again, with verse, corus,
  • Breakdown, just main melody
  • reintroduce vocals
  • Bring it all back in again, with another element to the song, corus
  • Short breakdown
  • Keychange, corus
  • Vocals fade out
  • Whole song fades out, allowing easy mixing into next record.

It works, listen to 'Set you free' by N Trance (the 2001 mix), your song sounds a bit like it. :yes:

"Your cynicism appauls me Collosus - I have ten thousand officers and crew willing to die for pants !"

"Go to red alert!"
"Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb"

Sounds good in a retro dance kinda way, like some of the euro stuff circa 1996, Culture Beat, Cappella, Corona etc. I do agree it needs a stronger hook though. After it finished I couldn;t have hummed it. Listen to Corona's "Rhythm of the Night" as an example of a track in the same style with a really solid hook (I hate that song but it is a good example). As for the rhythm track, its a bit..well..I hate to say wishy-washy but the rhythm track certainly doesnt hit you in the gut. The vocals and arpeggios are great though. For a first effort its very promising.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,

Not bad Tiara, not bad at all, although the tune reminds me of them old C64 & Amiga demo's, but very nicely done :)
Sig? What sig?

 
Setting Sun, also by the Chemical Brothers, will give any decent speaker system a run for their money. Skip forward to 27 seconds and hold on to something :D

meh, got me a pair of old JVC stereo speakers here... attemped to use them while playing halo..... lets just say woah

both of them have a intergrated 12' woofer, and provides more than enough sound... i could probably shatter the windows if i could turn it up all the way.... currently the max sound WE can handle(and it's plenty loud) is about 3/10ths the way across the volume bar..
