Positive Comments: I’m sorry to say that I am a hobbit and I live up in the woods and yes we hobbits have big hairy feets, ok! I woke up this morning and hobbled to my very dusty hobbit-like studio where I listen to other hobbiton musical creations, and hopefully, I get inspired to write elegant stories perhaps. I just nestled my poached egg and cut the cheese, when I pressed the big honkin’ play button on my hobbit-computer this morning – and out of my lacelorn speakers came this electronic dance track with a heavy beat, electric snares, a fast and light string keypad setting my feet hairs up I tell you. Oh, my. After getting into a hobbit-like groove I notice … This place sure is dusty … dusty I tell ya … I like this dance track and it really did inspire me to grab ye olde broom-bunny cornhusks and get these bliminy dust bunnies out of me’s studio! This music is … precious to me … and I am going to knock on the big play button again. OK, after wiggling to this three times, … me’s dusty studio isn’t so dusty now! Thank you Mr. electronic dancer maker person.
Constructive Comments: I think this is primarily for the dance foor – so market it to all the clubs. I took off marks because the mixing seems to have a thickness – holding back some dynamics in the piece. This is a traditional (so to speak) electronic dance beat and I would exploit that. I think a little more musicality could have been added to this to pull the piece into a new genre.
