Second track you say that's remarkable where it is not quite perfect in the mix (that can always be improved with time ) you totally make up for that in the feeling, content and arrangement of this track . sound great keep them coming

Not heard much Reggae, but liking what you have done here, in whole to me the track sounds like the jazz genre, or maybe a blend of the two genre's, either way it made for an very interesting enjoyable listen, excellent clarity and arrangement, had little chuckle when track started as I have the same vocal ##### ##### ##### in my library but haven't used yet, so it was good to hear a track with them used, very nice track...fav'd...Peace n Respect man...Mosaic...

Yeah man, this is a sweet song! My wife got too stoned last night and is sleeping in so I decided to just get out the headphones. I'm glad I did, as this has some nice stereo effects going on! I agree with others that the primary drums could come up in the mix a little, though the bongo part seems at a pretty good level. Great use of the vocal clips! The bass is perfect for a dub style song, and the delay effects and stuff just add to that vibe. Really enjoyed listening, glad you're having fun with your drum machine! Faved!

Hi. Very good for a second track.

Everything sits well and in time, key etc etc.

Drums are decent though they seem quite in the background and I'd turn them up a fair bit. Groove still works even with those low key drums.

Bongo type percussion is good when it comes in and an interesting change.

Bass is classic dub and I can't rally fault it.

Vocal samples work well. Brass is the main melodic element and one I like.

Decent enough length though not sure what else to suggest except a better, more conclusive ending.

Congratulations...

Hi,

Nice reggae sounds, good beat, music and vocals. For me it could have done with being slightly faster..but that's just me and you may have wanted it to be a slower tempo song. Either way a good job.

Best wishes,

Mark/Larry!

Description : A stranger's knife is expected. It wounds the body and spares the heart.

But when the blade comes from a brother's hand, or a son's, or a wife's gentle fingers, it carves something no surgeon can repair. They knew where I was soft. They had always known.

I have been betrayed by enemies and I have been betrayed by kin. Only one taught me that trust is a door, and family holds the only keys.

Blood binds us but It never promised to bind us kindly.

Description : EASE. Propella Head.

Dark atmosphere meets melodic lift in this upbeat roller from EASE. Deep bass and a driving groove keep the momentum moving, while the melody brings an emotional pull. Propella Head draws you into the shadows and keeps your feet moving.

Description : We used to ride all night thru downtown Chicago blasting Return to foever in Marks 72 Vega with 12" Ventura BIC speakers in the back that were chrystal clear. i was still too young to drive. Those were some of the greatest times I ever had I'll never forget that band the bandmates or those times. Mark out did himself on this Re-mix/Master. He also updated the Drums, makes the track feel brand new, even tho it's 4 years old.

PEACE...

Instead, here is the instrumental to the work. I'll put the uncensored version somewhere else.
