Overall, I like it. I'm a sucker for backwards effects.

To me, the kick should be more immediate ... each hit lasting a shorter amount of time, so it's more of a click than a thud... so it rings less.

Stylistically, I'd like some untreated vocal layered with the wide-panned modulated telephone-sounding vocal parts. The really effected vocals on their own start to grate after awhile, for me, maybe not for others.
 
Did you drink 20 coffees before programming the drums??? Man, that's choppy and BUSY. I think I just developped a twitch in my eye. :D

I don't know this style of music, so maybe this is how drums are programmed for this kind of stuff. But it sounds like a drummer on acid trying to start a solo while a few other guys are trying to play a song. :eek:

Sound-wise, everything sounds good. :cool:
 
Man that is a loud mix. It holds up pretty well to the squashing, so kudos on that.

Some bobbles on the vocals and some pitchy spots.

That bass sounds like it might be a little too heavy. Check on a larger system.

Most of the sounds are very clear.
 
This streamed very slowly so I got a very broken up first listen. Nice overall mix and ambient vibe. I feel like the bass is a bit too busy for the vocal lines, or the vocal lines are too drawn out for the bass... but the busy bass sounded right during the instrumental sections and the vocal with the telephone/megaphone Lo-res effect treatment... although I couldn't make out the effected vocals at all.
 
about the drums : hehe , i can tell that it is certainly not coffee =P
but thats the main theme in my head since i was a kid i think, but i now i got the guts to transfer it into a song !
bassline : yes, checked it in another system and its too loud, working on that, thank you!
kickdrum : im aware that it is very short but i chose it to be short and clicky so i could play with the rhythm without bombing the lower frequencies
style : no need for it

you are all great people! thank you ! this has been very helpful

anything else?
 
Love the synths, beats and backwards effects.

All comes down to personal taste, but I'd have had a little more grit on the lead vocals to keep the sound well away from coffee-table territory (no idea if this phrase is in common use in US or Israel ;) ). My other point is, I'm not sure about the perscussive broken glass-y effect - whether it just detracts from the mix or not?

Other than that, some lovely work!
 
It's probably a very personal view but I think, because the drums are unplayable by a real person, they should sound less real (if that makes sense) and they don't have to be in your face. I'd mess with the effects on them to see does it improve things. Have a listen to this:
 
I loved the beats and bass - just way too LOUD!
Didn't like the breaking glass and other etheriel effects.
Thought the vocal was a bit weak - could be punchier and more direct.
Cool vibe though!
 
It is pretty loud, but it sounds balanced, so no big deal. You did good there. The big bass doesn't bother me. The song is sparse so it fills in nicely. I like the false ending. Hell it's all pretty good. I didn't care for the snare sound or the broken glass, but that's just personal taste. You did good overall.
