I liked the song, "Move On" it reminded me of Lords of Acid. the song was one of the phatest rave songs I've heard. Really good. the chorus sets up a trance. Pretty cool.

"Angel of the Night"
Great dance groove
Now this is a track I could dance to.
The beat selection is solid and the track is well mixed and well produced.
The vocals....the lyrics work fine....but they need a little polishing, a little out of tune.
Again, overall a solid dance track, with a little bit of polishing it'll be great. Keep up the mixing!

"Leave Me Alone" Review
Dance with me to this track!
I'm in a nightclub and dancing to this track! Woooohooo! Love the sounds chosen to riff over the tight drum beat. I like the production on this track - very clubbish, very now. I like the vocalist words being sampled into the track. The mix is great. All the panning of that spaceage sound is very effective. "You say you miss me" part is unexpected and adds a further dimension to this song. Some weird stuff "dont' ever call me" haha this would be so fun to dance to! Expect to hear you on the Ibiza dancefloors!

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!
I love the mix of the elements. (Digital/analog) I think the lead arp is very intimidating. I usually hate it when an arp loops too much, but this one is interesting. It's got a good melody to it. The mix and the production are very well done. The song itself is very very good. I like it alot. Keep it up!

re: Angel of the Night
Madonna Has a Male Counterpart
What do you do when you're Madonna stuck in a man's body? Don't suppress it! Let it out!
This song begins with a very Madonna-esque piano-accompanied vocal intro. The dance beat then takes off in Ray of Light style, and you can't help but tap your feet along.
The reverb on the vocals is good. The lyrical hook ("Angel of the Night, Give Me Strenght") itself becomes a bit repetitive, but it's dance music, some some repetitiveness is to be expected. It's bearable, althought JUST so.

TELL ME WHAT LOVE IS
Very Ibiza
A cool summer clubbing kinda track I think, that would propbably do okay somewhere like Ibiza. The vocals are very 'rock' and so are the 'drums'. So I take that back, maybe you're more suited to Germany. I think you could get a big audience for this kind of thing over there and they're crazy for clubbing!

Great Overall Song
This was a rather great song, i really enjoyed it. i enjoyed the percussive theme, and the gradual synth buildup at the begining it wass awsome. then when you introduced the "talking" and the beat that whent along with that it was awsome- in the synth pad that followed the voices, it was rather annoying, i would have lowered the cutoff rate, but after that pad, the song really all came togther, and it was all nice mastered, but i would suggest that you increase the volume of the percussive elements a bit. i would have also increased the volume of the voices, and perhaps have added a reveerb of somesort to the voices-
this was a rather catchy tune i congragulate you on that, and it did sound pretty proffesional, but i would have added many more elements and layers to the song, as that would have really drawn out the proffesionality of this song. Also, this song was nicely mixed, and the counds all flowed nicely together, its just the song got slightly repetitive after a while, i would have to say,. that, different melodys, and elements would have multiplied how good this song ius several fold. Other than that, this is a nice song
