[Trance/Techno] Outer Galaxy

[patrickphan2]

made a new short trance/techno track. I don't know what genre it is. Criticism is appreciated and I'll do the same.

It sounds like trancecore to me. I like it, but it seems too simplistic compositionally, not much changes throughout the song and it doesn't hold my interest well. The percussion could use some more love, and it needs more spacey ambient sounds!

edit: btw there's no techno elements I can detect here

haha yeah it's very simplistic. Maybe i'll make a extended with more things or just revise this song and add more complex melodies.

Edit: added a few spacey fx and changed the riff melody a bit.

When I heard the first time I almost expected some German dude to start yelling "CAN YOU FEEL THE MUZEEK?!?!". Hahaha very fun trance, although you can make the synth infinitely more epic if you showed a little more note progression. The song stays on rails and never really deviates, so it sounds generic in the end.

I should add more variation and progression.

This is the kind of thread I always end up discovering new music from.... it's the best thing about the "long tail" and music.... before u had to read in a magazine or hunt around in a record store to find something cool -- which made the choices always subject to the "gatekeeping" of editors and music store buyers and etc... -- which would lead inevitably to mediocrity and the prevalence of "poser music" -- i.e. stuff that you want to like because you think it's cool, not because you really like it. Music journalism especially creates high-profiles for really lame stuff, because journalists are always looking behind their backs, trying to profile something that they think in 2 years people will think they were cool for liking "way back when".... I GREATLY prefer the democratic nature of threads like these, where people simply list their tastes and you can just look something up on itunes or youtube and check it out for yourself....

These days I'm really into techno and techno/rock and stuff like that -- try searching for these songs:

Thomas Falke "Revolution On The Dance Floor"
Groove Cutter "My Shooter"
Control One "Just A Little Bit"
Ian Carey "Redlight"
Kevin Weg "Dead Radio"

I don't usually go for techno but these are sort of like a wierd crossover between rock and techno/trance.

Most of them I got (LEGALLY) from this list on itunes -- http://electricnation2010.com/tracks
