Artist name: GoAhead
Song name: Tranquility of the mind
Page where you can download the MP3 file: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/2/goahead.html
----------------------------------------------------
GoAhead's music is trancy, with clean melodies and square beats. The track is incorporating many of the classics (rolling snare drums on break, clap every other bass drum, phat chords building the main theme) which is not a bad thing if they want their track played in a club or mixed by a DJ, integrating perfectly to other tunes. So what we have here is a classic trance tune, without any big musical problem, decent. However, the track doesn't stand out enough.
The sound needs a mastering though, some compression. I found the 909 kick OK but the opened hat (HH) sounds a bit short and not powerful enough. Also, sometimes at last part of the track, some "pads" are coming along, creating a nice atmosphere, some deepness to the overall thing. THe thing is that these pads are not loud enough to make this deepness more important.
These are details, but if worked right, they would make the tune stand out.
