It took me ten days to get into the right mood for reviewing this track; and for a reason. It's not music I'd listen every day. The piece is very disturbing, in a relaxed way (if that makes any sens... Read full review

Nice song concept, and overall a fairly fitting--though sparse--followthrough. There could be a bit more instrumentation in terms of melody, but the relative lack of density directs attention more cle... Read full review

Yeah the baby sample was originally to support the concept of a child starting at birth and growing up by the end however it's been an issue for lot's of my friends.

Nice ambience, makes me think of some brightly lit, white cleanroom involving some experiment on kids. Great use of delayed echos. The ending has a great high-tech feel. I'm not sure I like babies as musical instruments though :P

Thanks to all of you for your great comments, I'm not a feedback whore but it's always nice when people take the time to drop a note. This song in retrospect ended up being too long, if I ever get motivated enough I'd like to remix it to about 5 mins or maybe do a spinoff based on the final section which is the only part that still gives me an emotional response.

Interesting peice this, it reminds me of something that Frank Klepakki (Command & Conquer composer) would write, which is a good thing! Good stuff

I think you have clever touch with rhythms and bass/sequences. You play drums ? , as I think rhythm plays big part in this song. And when this song has also strong pad/ambient/float strings in background, it's a great concept. And more important, I think whole song lives, and to me it gives visions of somekind hasty city, something what I call "fifth element" urban cityscape. Very futuristic. imho

fantastic-ness. i like how the sounds and textures sort of "mature" as the song progresses. i hear a lot of AFX and BoC influences in this song. sweet-ass-sweet.

Urbanism was a classic release and this was one of the best songs on there.. listening to it makes me go all nostalgic in my pants.
