Skylander (feat. Senseii) - Recollection (Version 2)

[Skylander]

Collab track with Senseii, another dream trance from me) We'll glad to hear feedback on the track!

Edit: planning to release it on vinyl, bring on all the concerns and thoughts about the track)


Edit2: Improved version (2) of track

 

[Hensmon]

Really like everything up until the main melody, which is very cheesy for me. Partly because its that happy kind of melody, but also because it feels overly formulaic and simple. I can see it has a very slight asian feel to it again with the synth choice and melody progression. The second synth coming in at 5:50 is a bit better, still kinda cheese but not too bad. Maybe be nicer with a more soaring synth, rather than guitar type synth.

I had to turn my subwoofer to almost full volume in order to properly feel the lows btw. Track felt sub empty when I first started playing it on regular settings.

 

[Archon]

^ Sharing the same sentiments. The cheese is not really my thing, though will could be enjoyable to others.

 

[Jetflag]

Good efford. Agreeing with hensmons sentiment

 

[Skylander]

Guys, you really made me upset today. Cheesy and happy melody? Come on

 

[marvas]

if this was 20 years ago, I would have burned this track on a CD and listen to it during the summer break. It sounds similar to what we had back in the day in these parts of Europe. Good work and keep them coming.

 

[Daysleeper]

It is really cheesy haha. The melody reminds me more of hard dance, touching on the grounds between euro trance and cascada.

 

[Jetflag]

Cheesy and happy melody? Come on

You read it as being a bad thing of sorts..

its not i like it.

 

[Skylander]

No, I mean, is it worth releasing this track? Or I should work more on it/change the melody?

 

[Skylander]

Moreover, you know my plans on vinyl

 

[Skylander]

And hard dance? That's a DREAM TRANCE!!!

 

[Skylander]

Btw guys, don't you feel that this track sounds a bit modern?

 

[Skylander]

I hope this song captured that oldschool vibe successfully. Or at least it can still go to vinyl release)

 

[Skylander]

Hey, guys! We've made a second version of this track. Improved basses, worked more on mixing, etc.

 

[Hensmon]

Mixing is so so, not terrible, but your other one is much better IMO. It does sound more modern this track but def has some old-school arrangements going on. When the kick returns in the break/build up it feels very subdued compared to the other elements.

DId you have all those sweeping synths in the previous version? They are quite nice and definitely take less emphasis on the simple piono melody (which is level 7.7 our of 10 cheese).

I think overal you need to work on your melodies more. You can still capture a happy euphoric feeling, but without being so simple with the cheese melodies.

[Skylander]

But I don't know which track we can use as the reference, can you tell one pls, so Senseii can make a mix close to a ref

 

[IXM]
