Seems you got a pretty natural feel for house (considering this is the first house song I've heard from you so I'm assuming it's one of your first). I think you should concentrate on your instruments more than anything though. Your melodies and composition seem fine for now.
First, that god damn bass. It'd be pretty good if it wasn't so damn dirty. As I told you on msn, cut the high freq' on it and I'd boost the bass on it a bit (Just so it backs the song a little more and the bass is usually one of the main instruments in house so you want it to be PHAT!). Layering is a good idea too. As you'd probably know, the more you combine, experiment & play-around. The more of an understanding you'll have for mixing sounds and achieving certain sounds. It'll also add more character to the song.
The kick might need some tuning up afterwards so I'd just find a good balance in the low bass for both, the bass and kick then lower the mids on the kick (Not much though, we just wanna' saturate it a little and reduce the overhead sound on the kick).
Anyways, this is all I could strain out of my brain. Basically, this song needs some thump and HOPEFULLY what I've written will help you achieve that. Good luck!

Dude, this is sooooo god damn good! DL'd for sure. You had me by 0:11. Just that background melody and percussion was enough to make me chuckle with enjoyment. Not to mention how well the vocals were done in this. I fucking applaud you guys on this, amazing job!

Never has any song on NG ever done that, you bastard! :P. The isolation of that piano and the chilled effects over it just tug at your heartstrings. Not to mention, the tune the piano plays is so beautiful but sad at the same time. I have to thank you. I consider myself lucky to have heard such a beautiful song. Astounding job.

I love emotional songs and the atmosphere and melodies in this, just screamed it. This does need some work though dude. For instance:
I found your synths lacked power but it's justifiable since the song is ambient and not trance. Still though, you should layer your synths. You can create some pretty amazing sounds if you do (and this works of all aspects of the song. Drums, synths and even basses).
Where was the bass in this song man? I didn't hear one through-out the entire song? I reckon' something smooth with a creative bassline would fit pretty well but eh', doesn't really matter. Song is good how it is.
Drums were a let down man. The kick lacked power and the hatline was a simple 4x4. If you wanna' progress on dude, you've gotta' get creative. When you make a hatline. Don't just use one hihat. Use like 3 or 4 and see if you can create something original and unique instead of the generic 4x4 hatline. And about the kick. Layer it.
The composition and structure were average. Nothing to great or exciting.
Anyways, that's all from me. Hope the review helps man.

The lyrics are pretty fucking funny dude. As for your singing, I dunno', it's okay? Lol, seriously though. If you did proper lyrics with this and some more instruments, it would turn out pretty nice!

I love the atmosphere man. This song just has the most beautiful feeling to it. I applaud you on that. I felt the intro was a little too fast to finish. Imo', would have been even better if you'd really introduced each instrument and made a memorable entrance. But that's all I can really poke fun at here really. All that's left to say is great job man :).

glad you like it - I tinkered with it for quite a while :)
thanks for the review!

"I CAN'T GET OVER HOW GOOD THIS IS!"
Immune showed me this song the other day and my jaw dropped. You got so damn good in a matter of months. I was hooked at 0:03. This is absolutely amazing, it's got so much damn feeling!
You definitely have to release to NG or if not, NG cut, please!

This is another song that I can't critique because it's so damn good. Melodies are awesome, drums are heavy and that kick makes your heart jump and it's mixed very well as well. This is one awesome song, keep it going!
