I gotta agree with everyone. Great tune and the integration truly was seemless. Your chords chosen were foundationally built to coincide with the samples, seemlessly smooth work here IL! I am impressed and good luck to all who enter the contest! Truly great works so far and the competition just started! Great works!

Thanks DjWillieF, the 'Illusive' Matrix pill is exactly what I was going for!

Thanks Ed & Sonya. I'm surprised myself Sole, I had no idea how I was going to use those samples when I first heard them.

Holy crap I'm up against some bad ass competition in this contest! Lol, nevermind, I'll see if I can get my track ready and uploaded, if only for the amusement value :P .... Its not the winning, its the taking part, right?! hehe (rocking back and forwards repeating that mantra)

Thanks Frank & Matt,

It's all about the music. And enjoyment thereof. Luckily making music is incredibly fun!

Troy Tilton's picture

This is great because it reminds me of a time when I was about 20 years old, high on ecstasy and making out with some strange young girl at some awesome rave.. awe memories. Nice job.

illusivemind's picture

LoL, Happy to trigger your nostalgia Troy.

Dude, I thought I drop in and write some kind words but it seems some fifty or so other people beat me to. Anyway, fantastic song, which got the blood pressure up a notch or two!! Nice.

Damn, I wish this reminded of makin out with someone at a rave.

I loved the track, but it really did remind me of when I was rooming with my friend, waking up to my cheap radio shack alarm clock, hearing the construction trucks working on the road (which is actually what I thought that reversed hit was when It began to fade in), and then realizing I was an hour and a half late for work.

thanks for the comments on songs, by the way, illusive mind. definitely got me in a psytrance mood.

illusivemind's picture

Hey Gbrinkert,

You just made my day, thanks dude!

I was hoping someone would pick up on the alarm clock idea. Well done.
Thanks for the praise mate.

I hope things go smoother for you IM. Sorry man. If you need to talk or rant ...we are here for you at maketunes. Let it out man!

illusivemind's picture

Thanks Sole,

My father passed away on Saturday, he'd been unwell for some time and his heart gave out.
I'm doing fine I've got my brothers and friends around me and I know it's like we're a family at this place so I appreciate your thoughtfulness brother.

Ah shit I'm so sorry to hear that Illusive, I really mean that - stay strong man. I'm always stuck with what to say in a situation like this, as words of condolence from others can seem hollow when we're grieving.... but our thoughts are with you bro. Perhaps, in time, you may like to write a song in his memory... I'm sure he would be honored.

illusivemind's picture

Thanks Matt, I certainly will.

Damn Dude! You weren't kidding. THat IS some rough news to handle. I don't know what that is like, but I know you are going through some hard emotions and I am sorry Illusive. At least you and yours are pulling together to share in this time of need. I hope you find peace and understanding and a passing of grief. He isn't gone. He goes with you bro and through you. Lord knows that. We know that.

I'm sorry to hear that Illusive Mind... I know you're a smart, intellectual guy, I have faith that you can turn this around to have a positive affect on yourself... It's one of those pivotal moments in life where things will never be the same again. Make sure you move forward and not backward. We're here to help if at all possible. Hit me up man, I can lend an ear anytime.

Frank Marquis's picture

im very sorry to hear the news man....i cant say much to help but my prayers are with you and your family

illusivemind's picture

Thanks guys, you're absolutely right Amittai and I've just started a couple of big steps forward that have opened up a reason for brightness and hope in the future. I was lucky in a way that because we'd known this was coming sometime soon we said everything we needed to say and I won't have regrets about missed opportunities.
