Just thought I'd try something different.  A soundtrack-style piece in a more electronic genre than I usually lean towards.  I'm really trying to hone the production side of my stuff at the moment so any comments on that side would be appreciated too.

No offence, but the intro sounds like it could be for a rap song - it sounds good though! Love the pizzicato strings! 

Around 0:33, the drums kicking in are great, and that synth sound at around 0:40 goes in well too! I could see this happening at a nice rave party...

1:31... LOVED that effect! Was that setting everything to full bass? It sounded sweet there!

So yeah, I think you achieved the goal you were going for; the kind of Matrix/James Bond chase scene feel... It's pretty appealing throughout the whole song and the transitions go extremely well. 

... Nice fade out...

Hmmm 90's film track, sort of Beverly Hills Cop.
Like the Drums & Bass. nice strings, Brass sounds a bit thin, I like the ambient pads.

Would love to hear you blow, you da Tumpet Man.

Cheers

Why should that be offensive?  Some of the most cutting edge producers produce rap and hip hop etc... Having said that... The intro strings drop way too sudden, try some verb and a bit of delay to give it a tail that doesnt die off immediately.  Production wise its sounding pretty decent.  The overall vibe, if action film, is 80's action film... (no offense, LOL!) Nice work on the drums... sound natural...dont know if thats a sample, midi or programming but it works.  now then, having said that... you have all the elements here to make a good tune although I feel you made some soft choices when it came to the sounds you used.  They kind of sound shallow or generic for lack of a better description. (Which I think is what lends itself to sounding like an 80's flick)  What im trying to say, is that you obviously have production talent... now take the time to find the sounds that do you justice! GJ!

It is offensive indeed, at least to me it would be. If someone (the listener) cannot understand the genre of the song, then I'd take offense because my music couldn't portray what I meant it to.

Hmmm, thats a sad point of view.... There are several of us who dont stick to a genre 100% of the time.  I know that a hell of a lot of us borrow from other genre's to add to what we have... NO OFFENSE but,  I think your type of thinking is limiting.  You cant put music in a pretty little box.  Oh wait, except when its all MIDI!  And im out on this one...

GTA......Somewhere between Tommy driving into a purple sunset in his Inferno and CJ doing his dancing thing down at Santa Marina Beach.......very clean 80s Midi sounds. lol
 XFactor : The effect at 1:31 is a Low Cut I believe.
The drum is good , nice and hard, production is cool , sounds are too dry.
But seriously very gta lol

Made me think of the old Chuck Norris movies.  I suppose that is a good thing.  It really had a retro feeling.  I liked it.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the comments.  I have taken them all on board although I don't necessarily agree with them all (they are all appreciated though). 

Kings and Xfactor - 1:31 is a Kill EQ affecting high and mid frequencies leaving only the lows.

Mindsatplay - The strings are supposed to die suddenly.  I was trying to get a Sfzp effect.  Perhaps a second part underneath to give the illusion of a longer tail whilst retaining the attack of the original part may work.

Denis - I'm hoping to upload a new track later today with a bit of flugel playing on it.  I intend to record it after the tennis!

Otherwise known as a Low pass....or low cut...

I love it! Very retro, deffinately wouldnt go a miss in a 90s action film.

  Good stuff ! For some reason, i cant get rid of a smile of my face after listenin to it.

hmmm.... kinda not digging the drum beat you chose for this. Maybe, a more fast drum beat, but at the same tempo. Idk... I don't like the way the kick drum sounds like. hmmm... b

Some nice effects....
but like someone wrote a little earlier, it's all a bit thin
Cant see any "action" not even Chuck Norrrrrrrrris... oh "who the 4-letter-word is Chuck Norrrrrrris?"
But a crisp production

Nice layering and sequencing..Not sure of the theme analogy but regardless music is very well put together..Loving most of all the drum work..Seems to be the most detailed and work on part..The synth leads are way cool...good one...
