My new song...The American Dream..

Well I finished it. I normally produce techno striaght up. Ive had a huge block for the past 2 weeks so I decided to head a different direction. It started off as an ambient track but grew unto itself. Its based around a political speech from Adlai Stevenson. He talks about the American people and so forth. I wasnt going to use the whole speech at first but then it just seemed to fit. The quality isnt what it should be so it might sound a tad bit muffled. So if any of ya have the heart to listen to it give it a go. Its a long song around 9 minutes and a large file 9.76MB. Any feedback is appreciated.

The American Dream

Hey Chief, I tried to listen to your mix there, but Ican't get it working properly. I download it and it plays for about 30sec (great so far!) before the sound clicks off. ANyone else have any probs with this?

Sounds pretty good, MC. I would shorten it up a bit, but that's just me. I suppose a lot of trance/ambient is pretty lengthy. It gets more gooder near the end when you put the delay/echo on his voice.

My other suggesion would be to put some sort of higher synth part in there, under the voice maybe, to sort of breathe some life into the song.

BTW, have you ever heard of Delta 76? Your cut reminds me of him. He uses a lot of spoken dialog in the same manner. Good stuff!

PS: No problems with the sound cutting out here.

Hmm psu2fan, sorry to hear about he probs but I just listened to it off the site and it worked fine. Strange. Thanks for the reply guys.

Whir I hear what your saying about another synth but I didnt want it to sound to busy. The way I see it is that the end of the song where it breaks into a jungle beat, its the end so it didnt need more to it. Ahh its hard to explain the concept. Ive never heard of Delta 76. I will surely look it up

I was more for a synth during the whole song, really. Just my taste I guess. Gives it a little more life. I'm not really into ambient or trance. A lot of it doesn't move fast enough for me. I guess I'm an old-school techno kind of guy.
