Nice chord progression and sounds in there, was nice to listen to. I just hear it as a chorus theme and would suggest you divide it up with some breaks or variation in the music...?

absolutely.. just a melody idea.. it certainly needs another melody, as a verse or whatever.. this version has a bit of a bridge around 2.11 and is more enjoyable.. drums toward the end too.. it still probably needs what you said though!

Yeah, better with the drums, pan out in the stereo field a bit more...?

Still like the theme (particularly the sweeping background sound) but would have a much better impact without the repitition and/or something else dividing it up... maybe some different sounds..? Just a thought. ;) Keep at it, got something to develop nicely there.

yeah.. the drums are really basic sounding. ill have to layer some more percussive hits or something

whole thing was made in reason, without even a controller keyboard.. i love that maelstrom synth, for modulation.. so many crazy shapes to mess with.. such a fun synth to use
