I'd pick the second one as well. Quite a groovy track, you really get crazy with those synths! Very catchy bass line! Is that sample saying "So neurotic"? Funny stuff! Awesome track!

if i had to pick out off the 2 i would pick the second. i cant master for crap, i leave that to someone else. but if you really wont it to sound better i would turn all your levels down compress some off your sounds and go through you eqs and reajust them and remember not every synth needs to be eq'ed. It can just as long making your track to sound right than it does to wrighting it. Also liking the track, it's got a bit off an old skool sound to it.

Play 2 now...

(please disregard the last comment, was meant for someone else & I had it in the wrong tab, opps, my bad, brb)...

Vocally, it sounds like yer strugglin. Did you record this sitting down? Because often times that'll greatly reduce the strength of yer ab muscles. I'd recommend that ya try standing up and re-recording them. I do like their folk-rock stylings though.
Musically, I was diggin the piano work and classic strummed strings ya used on here (like an epic RPG goes to have dinner in an Italian joint or something). This could stand to be just a little longer I'm thinkin (maybe about a minute). Keep hammerin away at it mate. Lates!

A happy energetic 'city' feel. I like it. It gives a sense of movement, inner-visually.

YES YES!!!! 2 months later and your promise comes true. "could certainly get wrecked to this think i will loop it into a 2hour version and give it a go great track " So now play this for 2 hours! Don't disappoint me Emily - you must pass out and do anything else you might do over the next 2 hours to Touching in the Dark!! Cuz you said so and I have been thinking about it for months. So don't let me fantasize about something that ain't actually happening now. Touch. Ing. In. The. Dark. !!!!! Good morning E.

Hmm.. This song a ton of potential. I see it. Anyway you'd let me do a remix / remake of this? Or maybe a new instrumental for you to sing to? Ridiculous amount of potential here. Awesome.

Hey Man! Nice work on this track! Very interesting and addictive!
The vocals fit the beat perfectly! Reminds me a lot of the sound of Depeche Mode! It's a nice heartfelt track with vocals full of feeling :)Nice work Man!

Fuckin solid man. I feel the vocals need to blend a little more on this track as well though. I was definitely movin to it.
SoundsOfEscape
It's a pretty tight track bro. I agree that it could definitely be longer and I would like to hear a really solid breakdown somewhere in the middle or towards the end and really just explode after that. One great quality of a trance track is that it's like a roller-coaster you know? So basically drop it down almost completely with like a high-cut or something, and then just bring it up to KICK everyone's ass :D

I'd also like to hear more of the music a little more and the vocals just a SMIDGEN less. I feel like the vocals drown everything out. This is just personal preference though. It's my belief that with this type of music, vocals should take a back seat to the music.

Well done though. I always enjoy listening to your tracks.

Piggybacking on what Eshar said, I second the Beatles influence, and that the lyrics are great. Like the piano as well, good arrangement. My one critique would be that the vocals are a little off key. It's a great song though, well done.

You are very talented. I think that is why I am so honored by your comment.
But I have to tell you, this song is sick. I adore every minute of it.

*Someone said this to me once, and I did not know what they meant until listening to this. I love how it is just chaotic enough to keep you guessing*
Fits that to a T.

Hehe, cool one dear friend. I was picturing how much fun you must have been having while making this number. Really nice synths, I really like the crunchiness there and quite the punch as well. Really booming in the system (earphones :)).

Very cool =]
Loved the Piano, thought the drums overpowered the vocals a bit though, but still good =]
