Let It Begin [R3.04]

------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very busy these days, so I don't really have much time to produce music. So I thought I release some of my 'previously unreleased' songs.

I did this song a few months ago, and did some rework some weeks ago. I never really came to the point calling this song 'finished'.

It's definitly something experimental, I can't really say for myself, if this song is crap or outstanding (or both ;) ).

The point about this song is, that I tried to mix noise-stuff with normal beat driven music. It has an intro/outro which is kinda-a power-electro-like. In between, there is a little 'normal-industrial' song, which slowly mixes up with the noise again.
I know that noise heavily interferes with normal music, that's why I kept the 'normal-industrial'-part very short.

I don't really know. OT1H the song has an amazing energy in the end, OTOH I don't really know if the 'normal-industrial' part is good enough.

Please give constructive criticism, say what you think. Feel free to give a no rating. Thx in advance :)

nice work with this track, i njoyed this one a lot. but still levels need work. i would change the kit too, it sounds outdated (mid 90's industrial). unless thats the sound you were shooting for. good work.

Here is the opinion Andy:
This could be awesome song but just without those drums and bassline.Like Baal said you could have continued into ambient action,but you havent;)If you wanted to add a bass and drums...you could have made id less repetative(meaning on bass)and little more dynamics on on drums..hihats.When you do an bassline try adding more songs not just 16 or more bars just the same bass...Some synth solos would fit here nice for some parts of song adding those so needed dynamics.
Once again could have been for ten without those things i told you,instead its 8.7.
PS.
E-mail me for more details...i have an idea;)

First of all...the ambience was incredible...simply put!!! At first I thought (and hoping) that you were going for power electronics. That noise at the beginning with the choir breaking through was awesome.

I had to listen to the track a few times...because the bass and drums were a complete contrast to what I was expecting. Even though I will agree with Muss...it would not hurt to do something more dynamic with the percussion...I think this is a wonderful addition to your wave n' noise experiments.

Excellent work...hope to hear more...

Great stuff from you again, the blending of dark twisted ambient and "normal" beat driven tune works very well, tho I feel the beat part needs developing, I hope you find the time to do more with this.

The RPS isn't working for some reason, i got a bad format message when i tried to open it, but listening to the mp3 was enough for me i guess. I think it's pretty decent overall. The "noise parts" and "normal" parts blended quite well i think. interesting combination of sounds.
