Also kinda trancy, with all the characteristic dancy-noise and an accidentally signed-to-unsigned sample that ended up sounding pretty well and stayed.
Wrong genre, wrong genre everywhere.

Notes as i'm listening...

The opening reminds me of two of our colleagues Xaphoid and psishock, both are accomplished trackers and have unusual yet standardized ways of assembling this kind of "job" music. Functional but featured, and inclined to keep a steady beat throughout most of the track.

The FX are decent but not modern enough, and the song design needs refining. The main "verse melody" needs to go thru variations; i found myself getting sick of the theme by 5 mins in. There is some attempt to apply the variations (counterpoint, refrain interruptions,etc), but i think more use of FX on this main melody will keep it from becoming tedious. It wouldn't hurt to slice it up and give the melody to different instruments as part of that effort. (Study the art of the fugue to get some ideas on how to keep repeating melodic lines from becoming fatigued.)

Good download and great brain-beat music.
3.9 out of 5 stars...

Thanks ;D

I think my songs seem to always turn out repetitive because most of the time I think as them as "background music" for games and such (i mean, VERY in the background, with the game filled with sound effects, ambience humms and stuff like that); but yeah, I also find them boring at some point when I just listen to them.
I was influenced by Wipeout Pulse (been playing it for a long while when I started to make this one and with some others). The plan was to make something that would sort of blend-in with the game pace, without missing out my "retro-square-annoying-melodies" that I'm very used to XD
Capacity is one of my other songs that I'm talking about, turned out a little better in my opinion :P (I don't think i've already posted it here, I'll do it now <edit...> done!)

Gotta check out Xaphoid and psishock's works, didn't know about them until now. :D
Thanks again for the thoughtful review :)
