Wow

...I didn't think good hip hop music existed anymore. A splendid crossover of Celtic classic style and modern urban feel. Fived, faved, and downloaded.

thanks a lot man.

An excellent piece

This song had a very nice feel to it - a good bassline, dark ambience, and a melody to match. It's reminiscent of a synth-pop, industrialish style, while still remaining true to its roots in dance.

The one thing that drove me absolutely nuts, was that damned "cymbal loop" you threw in around 1:08. Just an opinion, but to me using that soundclip is the ultimate conformity in tech-based music, something you can hear just about anywhere in the genre.

Other than that, I loved this, and it's another favorite in my list.

I enjoyed it

I agree with those before me that the vocals need some fine-tuning; I think leaving out some of the vocal "blips" would leave you guys better off. (Of course, those blips annoy me in any song.) Even so, the rhythm is exquisite, the bass and melody mix perfectly, and it's an excellent song overall.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review! We understand that the blips you speak of are a thing of taste. They're really used like an instrument and we thought that they matched the intro and transitions that they were in. We've worked a ton on our vocals and have a lot of ways to go, but this song isn't really reflective of our current talent.

Thanks again!

These are...your vocals?

What do you need other singers for? You're amazing!

Well-crafted piece; a beautiful, harmonious rendition that gives the listener the impression of treading on sacred ground. It's simple, and in this case simple works well. 5 Darnells, 10 stars, and a new favorite on my list.

Thank you Thank you Thank you ^_^
Gosh, I didn't dream this would get all that much praise.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.
And thank you for the support.

Great piece

I sometimes wonder why I go anywhere else for music, because the techno and trance you find here is actually better than a lot of the crap they play on my local dance station. I might actually e-mail them sometime asking to give people here some airtime.

My biggest problem with this piece is those three-note synth cymbals. You hear that loop in so much techno, it's not even funny. The song could probably be just as good without it.

Still, I gave a 5. Great work, and here's to you doing more!

Not your best, but still good

Loved the music, as always. The lyrics, however, felt a tad cliche, and didn't really grace my ears in the way you intended. An instrumental version of this might be just as good.

All the same, you guys are awesome. This song gets 9 and 4 from me.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Hey, thanks for the review. Agreed not our best work.... we save that for our Albums..... ;) Though i'm glad you enjoyed a free download.

Great work

"Light deep" really works for you, I think. While there were minor trivial things that could have made it better (real violin, etc.), by overall standards it was top-grade music. New fave on my list, and keep making the beats!

Could be better

You guys need your own web site for people to go to. (And since Flash sites seem to be all the rage with musicians... ;D)

As for this song: it's good, but not quite there yet. A little more ambience or echo might help, and perhaps a slight increase in tempo. I liked the vocals, though; they seemed to fit well. 4 and 8 from me.

Still loving the music. Keep it up!

One thing went wrong here

The whole somg was well done, except for that one little transition around 1:40. The sudden break in tempo at that particular eighth-note threw me off; there should have been room for a whole note there in my opinion. Still, I liked it overall, and I'll give it a 5 and 9.

spamwangler responds:

cheers, that bit is deliberately to throw you off tho, cant be meetin your expectations all the time!

That does it.

Four songs out of four, ten out of ten each, and you guys are officially on my Favorite Audio Artists list. Keep up the good work; you guys are going places.

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the comments! That's great to hear. Hopefully you'll check out our EP coming out soon!
