Description : Melancholy Mourning was a track that I had sitting collecting dust for a while. It's about not having a chance to say goodbye..
The mustang drum kicks are sick..and the vocals and melody works like magic. Hope you enjoy it.

Sad statement about the site (double edged sword maybe?) - 300825 current members, and I only discover this song a year after it's been posted.

This is very, very cool work. The contrast between the glitchiness and the vocals is really surprising, and works incredibly well. I think it reflects the title somehow - the scattered and fragmented thoughts accompanying mourning. But it carries a kind of sonic optimism too, doesn't it? Amazing.

Faved and downloaded. Thank you much!

Thanks for the ear mate. I'm glad that you dig it. More so.. love that you get it. In mourning, ones environment is fractured. Slow is the process of "picking up the pieces". Sometimes though..the pieces don't fit... you never get over it but only get through it by making the pieces fit. Not having the chance for closure only complicates everything and makes the process even harder to deal with. What's missing though is a better mix and master on this one. I did plan on working on it... but decided against it. It's better left as one of those moments.

Good shot.

Thanks John for the words. As far as adding vocals....a song is never really completed...just abandoned..lol
The only plans I have for this track is a better mix and master. If you have some ideas for some vocals..I'd love to hear.

I like it. Chill and relaxed, a little depressing. Right up my alley. Great vocal mixing, and cool synths. Keep up the good work!

Wow, everything really managed to come together. It was like some kind of hallucinogenic costume party, and I loved it. Great, great vocals, and an equally awesome beat. Really no advice on this one, keep up the good work.

Very cool effects on the voice, awesome lead about halfway in.

I was a little turned off by the sound of the backwards whateverthehellitwas in the beginning, but it turned out to mix will with the rest of the song. Well done man. Well done indeed.

amazing track, very different from what i was expecting from an rnb track. temperamentally i am a Melancholic so i was drawn to the title. i guess it depicts the character of melancholics. nice title and composition.

Very nice track, I think that I fell in love with the singer for a moment. Just the vocals themselves I find very intoxicating. The instrumentation is very simple and the synth sounds quite nice. But that vocal is just sweetness, love her voice. great work.

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...
