Herkkusieni - Ihmiskunta (CMX tribute)

[Hollowcell]

Not really my style of music, but there is a lot I really like with this track.

The intro is great - perfect effects on that guitar. Specially like that little drum too.

The melody and general feel of the track is great (damn good) until that bass, hats and vocal section at 40seconds - this section gives a corny feel for me (at least it goes away quickly, but comes back at 1min20 - at least with a heavy guitar though). These sections throughout the track are the only downfall for me.

The choir is really nice. What did that come from out of interest? It's one of the best choir sounds I've heard for ages. It's actually rare that I'll like the choir sounds at all - so that says something.

The drums are great. You always seem to capture a realistic drumming. I must say though there are some sections where the crashes seem to get too crushed - 3min40 is a good example of this.

The vocal effects are nice too. 4min17 shows good use of stereo spreading with the vocal.

I really like the way the track filters out near the end, just leaving the piano and choir. Is that a software filter?

Anyway to sum up - this track is one fo your best. The only thing I didn't like was the sections I mentioned with the bass. hats and vocal. If you changed these sections - maybe broken rythm instead of the straight beat, they would sit nicer. Take these away and this would be a damn solid track!

After the 3rd listen the track really started to stick on me too. At the start I said it wasn't my style of music, but the more I listened the easier it got to listen.

Nice!
