Trying to give away a tune a week on my soundcloud.
This one is a typical of my sound at the moment dark with a very strong cinematic vibe.
Zillion - Come Back To Me (Free DL)

Would love to get some feedback on this one aswell..
Enjoy!!!

Very cinematic, reminds me of a James Bond-esq theme.
Like Man with the golden gun.
I feel your atmospheres are conflicting a bit, it gets a bit muddy.
There seems to almost be too much going on with not enough space created for elements.
Or it's the discordant pad you have in the background that swells softly.
It's difficult to hear the exact issue.
The 2nd drop seems to be a perfect example of too many elements imo.
I'd possibly drop the Lead line and add more of a midrange donk here and there?
It's an excellent sound however, I just feel you haven't scooped enough out of the spectrum to make it a clean atmosphere.

I feel some jungle vibes in there!
The song is great, but I wouldn't recommend posting a free one every week. Deadlining yourself makes you produce bad tracks... you feel rushed and don't take the time you need on the track. Quality of quantity.

Really liking the dark vibe on this. It does sound a bit busy and chaotic, but then I get the impression that this is how it's supposed to sound. I like it. Then again, I am into lots of crazy dark shit

Thanks for the kind words guys.
@ Electric head: yer i know that i do throw a lot of sounds in probably to many but thats what i like. I will look more into doing more extreme eqing to even out the spectrum a bit.
@ Killerkraut : i agree on everything you have said but i literally have about 30 tracks finished that im sitting on about 100 work in progresses and as im struggling to find a label interested in my sound i thought giving a track away for free may get me more exposure and awareness from a few labels.
@mean ideal: Yer its exactly how its meant to sound all hectic and lot going on i come from a drum and bass / jungle background and this has major influence on creating these hectic soundscapes.

Don't get me wrong Zillion, I love atmosphere and tons of it.
I do however advocate eqing and panning to allow each element its space.
I find creative panning at different frequencies helps.

bigup!! love the atmosphere but it is definitely a little bit muddy but it must be hard keeping a clean mix with all these samples, very nice at 1:50 that open hat/perc which comes in

very trippy after 2min20 ish this is definitely fresh and big! grabbed the DL and gave u a follow mate

Nice, the hats in the intro are lush. Think the atmos pad could be tamed with eq a little more.
There is a bit too much high end overall (from the verb on the snare and the vocal sample) it almost hurts my ears.
Those strings are very overpowering, perhaps reign them in a little.
Bass is a tiny bit muddy, think it might be because of the other frequencies' battle for dominance.
When the track looses the strings in the second part of the first section, it sounds much nicer.
good track all the same.

Reminds me of the trip-hop/downtempo group SpyLab. This one plays on your imagination quite a bit, which I do enjoy. I hope someone catches onto your sounds and you can get a deal going!

Yup, little muddy on the mixdown, BUT I would love to steal the intro and do a remix of this...
