Ok guys, any spare minute I get, I making noises. Serious addictive and every track sounds better than the last (to me anyway)

Enter Kaizen-Beat, though I need suggestions on a name for this as it started off as a racks project, hence beat! This is not my usual style, and influences for this come from Massive Attack and Kraftwerk!

Close you eyes at around 2 mins and imagine there's 50,000 people beside you. Goosebumps, well for me....

enough of my shite talk

Not sure about the break down or the actual drum parts used, though I like the arrangement of them if that makes sense. oh this is version 1.2, so all advice is welcomed.

Thanks

Hi

Sorry, i checked this out earlier.....didnt get a chance to review and post a comment as keep getting called away from cpu......

Yeah i reckon you have the foundations of a good track here, with a little work i feel this has potential...

They synth is very nice.........and some good elements in the percussion as well....i infact the percussion is ace in sections....(possibly a little more variation) I feel a more prominent bass line would benefit this track, u know just to keep it interesting and to chop it up in places......maybe some more layers to help support the synth as well in places and to vary it sa little perhaps.....

If this were my track i would however keep the main synth section exclusive for the break alone, and when the kick comes back in after the break have my bassline with maybe something else doing its own thing, this would take the track in a different direction...maybe introduce the synth in parts possibly...........again this is only my opinion based on what i like personally, it all depends on what u are trying to create with this track, and where you want it to go :)

As it stands this work in progress is OK...but with some adjustments it could be REALLY GOOD...after all your synth section is very nice...... :wink:

Keep at it...fantastic effort :)
