I do agree with MusicalTinker when it comes to shorting the time for the meody to kick in. There are so many ways to play with this, so i wont suggest anything else. Sounds very good.

"Sounds like a very long intro"
Sounds cool, but really waiting for it to pick up sometime. The 3 chords on the electric guitar get annoying after about 40 seconds.
Author's Response:
Ah, I see. I wanted an on-going beat to get a decent flow. It wasn't supposed to be that loud, just a small thing to linger with the main tune.
Glad you liked it (to some extent).

The sounds are unique, and can work...They just dont work together.

Now, when i first heard this, i was getting ready to butcher you being that this is one of my favorite techno songs(along with 2/3 the people I know). But, I gave it a chance and it is very good remake of the classic. Synths are in synch with the beat, and you do not drown anything out. Very well done. i still prefer the original though =P

Well, you have a basic beat that you can dance to(I'm spanish, so when I hear spanish music I have to be able to dance to it). Now, wasnt sure if you were just playing around and throwing various sounds together, or trying to make something that would seriously work.
Would really like to see you play with this and see where it goes. One suggestion, take the slow guitar out at :25 - :31 and open with that. If you listen to most spanish music(that you dance to), they either start out slow and pick up, or are just fast out the gate.

I haven't been one for dance/techno whatever you would like to call it for you years. But This by far is a very wellmade peice.
Pros:
As stated by Father of Death, the beat is very steady. You keep a very solid tempo to the song by never changing this up.
Your Synth and Piano are completely on point. Each fade over each other at the right time and are never so over powering that it takes away from the song.
Most common problem you find with most dance music is that some segments, or parts of the songs are to long. Your timing is perfect, always giving us something different at just the right moment.
Cons:
Not a huge dance/techno fan here. But you still did a great job XD

I'm glad I did a good job, especially coming from someone who isn't a big fan of electronic music! Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

need to cut it off at 16 seconds. the end just makes the snare repeat way to much.

Guitar is great, but sorry you just dont have the vocals.
Author's Response:
thx. Yeah, I know I need improvement. I'm actually taking singing lessons right now (you should have heard me before!) so hopefully soon I'll be up to par.

The overall sound is good. Speed is good. Timing and sound mix is off though.
The intro works just fine. Need to turn it up more though instead of it being so soft sounding. If anything slowly fade in the drum to let the listener feel the beat before you hit them full force with it.
as for the slow down at 01:08, you can really do without it. If you like, maybe add something to it. a suggestion would be to bring in the cymbols over it before going back in full force.
The last thing is the sound effects in the background. They are sparadic. If anything blend something in with your corrent beat, or fade them in and out so they just dont jump at you from no where.
I really do like the beat though. Just needs some clean up.
