nice intro i really liked that vocal "are you here to kill me" where do you get that from i always find it hard to get good vocs like that. I also liked the outro very much with the bells reminded me of the Music Pocket Watch From the film FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNFaZjNSvig from 0.32 the synth take over and dominates the track i find i too often overdo my tracks its hard to keep mine stripped down. ive been away from looperman too long running out of inspiration i think its better to do what pleases me and not be running in the pack. Best regard Robbie.

My G My G you def nailed that cinematic dark feel homie, I gotta say Bro I'm lovin your style quite a bit fam I'm glad you shared this. You are very creative and I love hearing all the different types of music on here its so inspirational for me man helps me get out of this creative music slump! I absolutely love the atmosphere in this track and how it builds up and then resolves man I think it on point homie love it - I'm a fan Fo Sho!

you hooked me with opening lyric...great job...i think i would agree with random man...some sub stuff....

Love a good cyber/vaporwave track! Nice job man. I would recommend, of course a little bit more sub bass but overall love the work man!!

You really captured the 80's sound with this track! Nicely done! I actually agree with Lek that it would be a great track for vocals.

I have a couple of suggestions if you were to do any further work on it. Several members have suggested it needs a bit more embellishment/variation. You've got a good ear for melody, so one suggestion I have is to repeat the melody line a maximum of 8 bars, not more in any section of the song. That's basically two phrases of the melody. Since you seem to have a good handle of generating memorable melody lines, disciplining yourself to compose more variation should be do-able.

It's a thing I struggle with myself. You get attached to a melody and just like to hear it over and over again. But, without at least additional elements every couple of bars, that tends to wear thin. You also seem to have a good sense of adding additional elements/counterpoint parts, so getting more variation that way works as well.

I found the part starting at 1:03 where the high arpeggiated synth takes over the lead to have a drop in energy, compared with the part with the lower pitched lead melody synth which preceded it.

Generally, a track should build in intensity and excitement. You definitely can have short parts which drop the energy level down, and you do have that later on, but this is an extended section which I felt needed more.

If there was a vocal, the backing of this section would be OK, except that the high pitched synth part might conflict with the vocal. I'd be looking for a different synth patch for the arpeggiated line and probably would shorten this section by at least four bars.

All that said, I definitely really liked the track. One "test" I have for the instrumental tracks I hear on Looperman is whether a vocal melody line starts forming in my head as I listen. When that happens I find that I invariably like the track, regardless of whether it's perfect or actually ready for vocals. It happened with this track so, at least for me, you've got something very good here. :)

man sounds so good, you are definitely a master of your craft! sounds radio ready to me the mix is on point and those synths sound lush - Perfect bro just perfect!!!!

Definitely has an authentic 80's synth feel too it. Everything from the kick, snare, pads. Has that late night car cruising vibe, Nice work here!

this brought me back...thks for the time travelling my friend..

Ok, I was there. In the 80s when all this was happening live. If you had put this in a mix with other tracks that were actually produced back then, without telling me, I most likely wouldn't have questioned it being there. The reverb on the kicks and snare, the "kick/snare/kick/kick/kick/snare" beat, the brassy synths, the bouncy bassline. It's got it all. I think as far as the mix goes, there may be just a little too much clarity in the top end. I seem to remember it being just a little muddier. But, man...not by much.
I think the "missing element" that every one seems to be searching for, (aside from Robert Smith style vocals)is guitars. I know it's 80s synth style, but considering we were just coming out of the "classic rock" guitar driven decade, they were still a prominent feature across the board. Even in the then infant genre of rap. There needs to be some reverb drenched, low gain guitars in the backing rhythm section.
I wonder if the other artist that Lek can't put his finger on is Gary Numan. It kind of reminds me of him. Maybe just a touch of super early "With Sympathy" era Ministry. Or even some Eurythmics. Damn, there were so many good ones!

Excellent work! Keep it up!

Take care.

Hi, this reminds me of very early Depeche Mode (Vince Clarke era), the bassline slightly later - 1982ish. I don't know if you intend for this to be a standalone track or you want vocals. It needs vocals really I think or if not, some more variation in the track. It reminds me of another early 80's band as well but can't put my finger on who. Nice feel though throughout - well done.

Yep, nice synths as most people are saying! Mix sounds fine to me, good variation in the structure, maybe a little embellishment here and there to keep us on our toes. Enjoyed the listen!

Nice building tension in the intro. Definitely has an 80's era British pop wave feel to it. Great job man.

Keep going and stay "On" with your music.

Synths are godly to me so this sounds crazy fire. Did you use any synth hardware?

So good. can i use this in a youtube video?

The 80's music is the best years!

Adore Amor for title. Think music was at its best time during the 80s I love all 80s music good job

I have always wanted to make a synthwave track just like this.
Great job on the arrangement of the track. I would have to agree on working on the mix and also I really feel it was missing something that would have sent it over the top, possibly a different lead or instrument. But overall, really good.
Keep up the work!

Hello mate,
I love the vibe.
Great track.
I would focus on the mixdown.
Well done.

Reminds me of Carpenter Brute

I really liked that breakdown at 1:18. Also nice usage of 7th chords in this one. Like a Modern Cyber-Bond theme. I like this, Good mix. glad u have joined the party!

Oh wow! this track is electronic heaven!...wonderfully crafted indeed and is a mind trip. I think it has a kind of cinematic/sci-fi atmosphere but in any case it's such a cool! vibe to this. Absolutely AMAZING piece of work here, much enjoyed! Bravo!!

Fun fun fun stuff.
I don't have any technical opinion or advice,
but I can imagine this on a video game!
Love it.

nice :-)
