Hi guys, it's the first time I ever try this and I would really like to receive your feedback.

I used GarageBand, so my editting options were a bit limited, but I wanted to get that old-school melancholic trance sound that was lost somewhere in the mid 2000's.

Sounds pretty nice, but is too slow, really. Could be sped up, and I feel like something's missing. Otherwise, love the pads, and that little melody (which could've been expanded).

For a first time, it's pretty good, gotta say that.

There a reason you didnt go for actually Trance bpm/drive/pace? Even for Progressive music it's too slow, more like modern percussion than old. But I do hear your nice melancholic melody and atmosphere which I like. Maybe a little too optimistic feeling at times to be proper melancholy but I actually enjoyed those parts a lot. Good ideas, needs more balls!

thanks for all the feedback, guys! I'll keep these things in mind for my next try at a slow paced song.

I don't yet know how to convey the melancholy without using a slower bpm, but will give it a try at some point.
