Good Crescendo in the middle
I think that this tune was a little on the quiet side, without much in the way of volume until you reached the crescendo in the middle. As it starts to build up, the whole tune comes to life, like an errupting volcano.
What I'd suggest is that you keep it louder either side of that, as without the middle part, you've pretty much got no tune and the intro / outro are both very quiet pieces.

Final Fantacy Jazz Bar
Thats what it reminds me off, a bar in final fantacy, slightly dark and smoky, where you go to meet this or that NPC for info and the next part of a quest.
I like the way that you wander your right hand around the keys. This gives such a nice sound and the steady left hand chords just keeps everything in check.
It's a nice tune, but I'd consider just taking everything else out and going with just the 'right hand walk' for a bit of a solo - it would focus the attention there.

Good use of guitar
This is a tune with good piano (Duh, yours always are) and a well planned addition of guitar. What I'd suggest is that you add the two together slightly better, as they don't quite mesh as I'd have envisaged. The timing seems to cross a little, as the guitar is a little faster than the piano
Just a few fine tuning tweaks and you've given us another awesome tune.

Good use of piano
This tune does seem to have a lot of things going for it - it's quietly epic in the set up. I think you've gone and used most of the instruments available to you, haven't you? The only thing I didn't hear seems to be the gong :P
I'd consider adding a part in the middle that is considerably louder, just to add emphasis to the entire project. This one seems to progress well, but it seems quite morbid, with the piano.
Other than that, I'm struggling to find the metaphors for the tune...

Yeah, someone mentioned a gong in an earlier review... I didn't use one, either. They probably heard the tubular bells :p
And yeah, I used a lot of the instruments barring synths :D
Great Tune
I like this piece - the guitar is well played and the drums work alongside nicely. penning the lyrics on the comments is a nice touch, so you can have the users singing along with it. Certainly a candidate for a music video in this piece.
Could have done with a drum solo / bridge, but other than that there isn't really much else I can add.

My brain is melting.
This loop is just too repetitive for my liking. The whole effect that has been conveyed to me is about 10 seconds looped pretty constantly for 3 minutes, which doesn't endear me to the tune much at all. You've given us a few modulations, which helps, but it doesn't give me the impression that you've poured yourself into this with any great conviction.
At least the track loops well, but it's a small mercy, as now the repetitiveness carries on ad infinitum. Why not give us other parts of the tune instead?

Good, but needs more
Okay, while I might have set the bar a little on the high side this morning, I can see that this tune is a very good one. I'd have considered adding more vocals, because that sample is great near the start, but it could go further and actually have lyrics.
A good beat, nice piano work and a decent length have given this song the best possible start - I'd suggest that you work on it, as you've laid good foundations.

Needs more
So you've given us a good sample of your abilities with manipulating bass. What i think that you'd be better doing is adding the element of Rhythm, to compliment the bass lines. Without the Rhythm, it does sound all the same after a while and I tended to hear the tune as noise by the end of it and I was starting to ignore it, sadly.
This wouldn't be allowed to happen if you gave some more variation, keeping the listener's attention firmly on the tune.
It's good bass, but there really is so much more you could do with it.

Thanks for the review. Yeah the percussion does need improvement. I'm going to work on that as well as varying the bass to keep it interesting.
Thanks again for the review, James
Not my thing
The first thing I'd suggest is that you get a female voice artist for the woman's parts, as it sounds off, when you are doing a falsetto for her parts.
I think that the run into the start of the rap was a little off time, as the first time you hear it, the whole thing sounds very messy. You've given yourself quite a quick beat, which means that you're making a rod for your own back, as it's difficult to go from standing to the 90-120 beats per minute that you seem to have.

Doesn't loop too well...
This isn't the worst trance tune I've heard, but the main problem exists in the fact that it's only 33 seconds and that the looping sounds a little off.
What I'd reccomend that you try is getting the looping right and it would sound a whole lot better. It could be used in certain games on NG, where they require some sort of backing track to try and distract a little from the task at hand (Devious people, game designers)

I can't upload .wavs to NG, it's impossible to get it to loop perfectly, but thanks.
You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
