Description : This is an old collaboration with my mate salook...I put down some track foundations along with the vocals and sent it to salook who added to the mix and finished up the production..we hit a speed bump and lost some stems during the process...so we didnt get a chance to go back and finish up the mix but this was the best take before the misshap ...hope you can enjoy

feel free to check out our more recent collab project https://soundcloud.com/lurcher-1

This is excellent! I love Salook's work, and the two of you seem to work well together! It's a really groovy dub sounding composition, and I like that! Your vocals are killer! Personally I think the reverb sounds nice for this style, and the bass stands out pretty well on my system. Thanks for sharing!

I agreed with Static aswell. if you get fix the mix and vocals you gonna have a great song, Play with dynamics and try to stereo some of the instruments so it doesn't sound like its fighting with the vocals and verb.

I agree with Static that the mix needs some improvement and less re-verb, but it has promise, sort of an old-school trip-hop song I think?

Hi. I prefer your vocals on this one to the Moment With You vocals. It's quite a strong, simple line and sounds relaxed and not as though you're forcing it.

First big problem is the reverb on the vocals. Just doesn't quite sound right though not terrible.

More of a problem is the mix. Too much movement, too busy, too crowded.

I like the simple dub bass but we're not getting to hear it enough due to the crowded mix.

Strip down (maybe remove) some of the percussive loops and/or take some of the reverb off them.

I like the guitar on 0:23.

Overall, I think it's a decent chill dub track but needs to be stripped down. I'd also like it to progress into something else because, as it is, it feels too long. That's probably because there's not enough variety.

Use of the guitar is good. Some more of that would help give it a more distinctive character and identity.

Good luck if you and Salook are able to continue working on it.

thanks again for the honest feedback stacic. once again duely noted. on this occasion i quite like the businees but its all reletive and thats why we do this. i will bear your'e points in mind for future productions. as a matter of fact i have just started something kinda similar so i will be aware not to make it quite so full. cheers again bro.

Rough mix and needs re-working, putting into stereo and some work done on dynamics but interested in hearing anyone's genuine thoughts. Thanks as always, Ben.
