Indeed, this song could use some mixing. I'm not too sure if the muffled sounds are part of the dark techno theme, but you could cut some of the lower frequencies to make room for louder melodic instruments. Some delay/reverb can also be used to give it a nice echo-ey feel.

This song feels very in-between atmospheric and energetic; if that's what you want, good! If not, removing some of the secondary percussion (anything that does not play on a downbeat) can make it more atmospheric, while enhancing the timbres of the instruments and implementing a melody or even some kind of melodic hook makes it more energetic.

Hope this helps :)

First 2 seconds: Mmm sounds promising.
3rd second: Oh no.

Aha. Right. Cherri o.

Remaking?

Okay after typing out this review I figured it may not be the best, but I'll post it anyway.

Remastering your old song due to popular demand I see? This one definitely has a few things going for it, but I think you made it too complex (too many sounds) too early. The previous was simpler and thus easier to grab, mainly because the only instrument covering the high pitches is the main piano melody (and the steam hiss). (This version has more piano notes in it; might work for some people, but it was the simple yet delicate melody of the first version's piano that drew me in.)
The extra steam hiss for the percussion at the first part threw me a bit off as well.

Overall, 9 outta 10 because it's still a great song by itself. I would have preferred it if you made the beginnng (1:01) simpler like the first version and stepped it up from there to this version. (I mean not having that much special effects in yet, so you can lay down a firm melody, I like mine well-defined)

The review was good enough for me, thanks!

Weird

For the first 30 seconds I was wondering what's up with Newgrounds.
I get what you're trying to do, but it really sounds wonky to me. Other than that, the other parts are good.

Rexyrex responds:

the new newgrounds format messed up the song... dunno why. THis happend to many old songs apparently

NOTE:
If you download the song, it will play as it should!

I sit at home, watching YouTube, surfing Google and Wikipedia... 40% of the time I'm sleeping and taking care of my basic needs. the other 60% is spent in front of the computer, doing, well... I'm a weird and eccentric guy and I love it!
