Courage - Feat RoseErin - DrvanLansberg

I enjoyed listening to this one! I don't really have much for suggestions, as it felt right the first time through. Definitely has an 80's influenced feel to it, maybe late 80's. Rose Erin is cool and talented, and it's good that you saved this pella for use. Had fun listening, but didn't get to pay close enough attention. Maybe I'll download for later enjoyment (thank you for that by the way). Nicely done!

Greetings. Fine work here.

I must admit to not checking out your other stuff after being so impressed by Coffee At Angelique's.

I think you're using pretty much the same synth bass sound here. It's a good one.

I have mixed feelings about these vocals as I don't like some of the phrasing. But you make them work really well in the track and they are distinctive and that's an important thing.

Busy, active, energetic music even though it's chillout. Lots of detail that I like (and like to do myself).

Intro is a good collection of pad sounds and then we have some nice, delayed shaker percussion. Then it's quite sparse with that very distinctive electro tom/bass drum sound. This reminds me of a specific female Norwegian artist from the last few years but I cannot remember her artist's name. Sorry - I will try to find out.

1:51 that vocal I really do like! 2:02 there's a dodgy note but not to worry.

So much space in this track that you seem to have given yourself the freedom to add lots of detail without the mix being cluttered. It's an excellent mix.

1:36 nice, playful synth arp.

2:39 you give us a more solid beat by bringing that regular kick in. Good variety after all the sparse drums before.

This is a pretty memorable track and the vocals have grown on me as I listen. A bit of a leftfield classic, actually.

3:40 good drum fill work. Not so sparse now. You're making it bigger and better, something I always look to do.

End choir stuff is pretty cool too.

Sorry, no real suggestions here but I'll try to think of something.

Big congrats!

very smooth sounding and perfectly constructed song at first listening. I do not know why but it remided me of Prince from Purple Rain for some reason.
Now I'm gonna take it with me, thanks for allowing downloads! Alex

wowie! that's maybe not what you wanna hear but this is awesome man. :D
i knew already that you make fantastic tunes, i remember coffee at angeliques. love the vibes here too and i can feel it was made with passion and reckless attention to detail.
what follows now is extreme nit-picking stuff and honestly i don't even feel comfortable saying this because ultimately it comes down to personal interpretation and preferences. for me at around 1:57 i think there are even some sexier notes hidden, i can't exactly tell what or how to fix it. it's usually trial and error here and i know it can be tricky to not get used to a part that you have heard looping for an hour.
besides that i can't fault anything. for my taste and hearing capabilities it is pretty much perfect. to be fair i haven't slept very much last night and spent the last 10 hours or so mixing and it's safe to say i am very tired. but i listened on headphones and i perceived it as brilliant. no... freaking brilliant!
i am hearing many adorable influences in here. for example the art of noise and guy sigsworth came to mind. the chords in the end kill it (in a good way).
will have to listen again and again. in case i should come up with something that's actually useful i would definitely get back to you and let you know.
thanks for the download as well!
cheers

Hello Doc!

Good to hear you back...your music is always unique and gives us special listenings...this time this voice...so special...honestly, I don't like this kinda girlyboy sound but in your song, it works...superb instrumentalism right here with stunning mix, so I'm a bit 'small' to give you offerings what to do or not...I just simply enjoyed your new track with a smile in my face...:-)

Much respect and handshake, Danke
