Very interesting track, I like it a lot. The drums don't fit really imo ... I would make them louder and more electronic or just don't use them at all. The Break at 1:45 is quite hard. I would make 2 songs out of it maybe? Did you use a distorted guitar here?

He he ... I toned down the drums because I found them too loud. Yes, the break is rather abrupt. It will certainly not attract good tidings and I can understand. We like to it when it goes smoothly. It can be a metal song, very harsh, but smooth in the sense that it does not make any unexpected 'surprise'. The first version had the drums going through the guitar solo, maintaining the rhythm, then I removed them. And I toned them down. Ah well. I might give it a second approach but I have so many other things waiting by. Yes the acoustic guitar sound was heavily processed.

I've heard other stuff of yours and I think you make good electronic music, but I don't think the drum kit fits well with the rest of the song. The percussion does, however. Overall, I think you did a pretty nice job!

Thanks. I have a question. If soundcloud is kept opened after playing that piece, what piece will play next ? Here, not logged to my account, it will play another piece of mine, c2016-15.

Quite liked the music, but never keen on voiceovers.

Hi,

Great one! I enjoyed it. I liked the drums but I like organic drums with synthesizers personally..

Melodic rhythmic drive of digital cosmos... Feels power! Excellent work!

Darth Vader decided instead of clone troopers to fill the "Death Star" with synthesizers. "Death Star" of course is controlled by Linux :wink:

This song is awesome! Full of gritty electronic sounds. The drums are totally fine. I think they fit with the music and are well done. It does feel like two different songs, rather than one, as a previous comment noted.
