Nice chill out music, was well entertained!

Yes, guess you don't get so much time for music. I seem to remember you have children so that's probably why.

Really like intro. Those two parts layered well. The second one in the background is, I think, the stronger one though I'm not necessarily saying switch them round in terms of prominence (though it's worth a try).

My complain here is your pad sound. What's is playing is fine, I just find it a beat clichéd and I think you could find a better one. Going through squillions can be so damn boring but I make myself do it from time to time and sometimes it's boring time really well spent.

Bass arrives nicely on 0:32.

I'd prefer a better bass drum sound though must admit I'm listening to this on crappy headphones. Kick sounds better mixed in with other drums but on its own thee are others I definitely prefer.

Classy little pause and bass drop on 1:30. Similar on 1:44 but you keep the kick going so that's good variety.

Pad chord emphasis on 2:02 sounds particularly good.

2:13 trippy build up synth sound very effective.

Everything is motoring along so nicely now and this isn't cheesy.

It's a well chosen blend of sounds you have here. This isn't the most original style (most things aren't, if that makes sense) but it's done very well. Lots of beauty and positivity and joy and fun.

I guess when the beat returns in the second half, the track doesn't do a whole lot more than first half but then some might say there is no need when you have these effective elements.

Actually, 4:41 new slow, hi and beautiful lead part that is very relaxing and slightly sad, though only in a good way.

Not so much for me to pick out as being 'wrong' with this and I'm really trying.

I bet you two considered reviews (of my stuff) that by the time you have got to 100 plays, at least 5 people will have said they love it and it's so relaxing and beautiful etc. Don't laugh! Do we have a bet?

I'll give a better, fuller review later. Just wanted to briefly say that this grew on me a lot as I was listening to it.

Thought at first I wouldn't like it as it seemed a bit bright and happy and slightly cheesy for my tastes. But, no, it's actually really good and a lot of fun. Quite charming, really.

Again, more details later but I can't hear anything much out of place in the mix either.

Various people are now going to come along and tell you how much they love this.

you do my kind of music sr.....thoughtful in it composition...skillful in it execution...patiently building...carrying the vibe intended and drawing the listener into the picture....my playing days created for me a habit of developing the main sections around chord progs I liked and I note that you do it well....Just extra good listening.....enjoyed....well done....You will be welsoming the warmer weather down under while we on the end await the chill........Ed

Once again. Mind Blown. haha, i havent been around in a year. Time to get back into her.

well Hi again to all friends & before all my gentle friend Steve Brown .
as collaborator of this track , I just was minded to tell a great thnX to all comments for both versions ,meanwhile Staticnomad for his attention & usefull comment and all great words from great musicians like Scott & Ed about me which would work as encouragement for me .
in the end a great thanx to U Steve again for our collab & best wishes.____Behnam

Hey Steve...just a note of thanks for the comments on Cloud Dancer...I went over to my music PC...muted the bass track (I used a simple synth bass on the version posted) and plugged in my old JazzBass which I am much more comfortable with...but tend to walk around a lot on....and did some different bass licks...big difference....I`ll leave the one I did posted ...but I`m slapping myself on the forehead for not letting myself do my old bass player things....thanks again...Ed

oh man...love that bite-yer-arse-off guitar played with a ton of feeeling it...its like a whole bottle of blue...and I mean this is just totally great listening to my old ears guys...I knew Behnam was a very talented guy...didn`t realize he could nail the guitar like this....and I must say you have it wrapped up in a big warm blanket of goodness sr....I`d offer suggestions if I could...but this is honestly just the way it should be...best thing I`ve heard today...congrats guys..exceptionally well done...Ed

Yeah, I lost my mom to the big C 20 years ago when she was only 49. Very beautiful piece man. I would take the colab request off of this one....I think it is done as it is.
Superbly emotional.

Mark.

Not sure what you mean about sending through another project. I'll look out for your tracks on here and leave advice now that I know it's helpful (or PM me if necessary). Some people find my suggestions useful, many don't respond, a couple have even given me outright abuse and insults. Because of the latter, I'm reluctant to say anything at all disapproving (though I do this constantly with my own work) and really only comment on tracks that I think are good or have potential. One guy even called me 'the greatest critic on the Loop', which was odd and a bit worrying though he later said he meant it as a compliment.

If I like something, my feeling is almost always that it can be better. So, I try to analyse which areas need to be worked on, though it can be hard to express how you think someone should go about this. And you don't even know if the element for which you're suggesting improvement is maybe the bit they think is perfect!

Recommend to me some of your tracks featuring Superior Drummer as I still haven't heard any track that I am aware of using the software. It and EZ Drummer are all over most of my last 12 or so uploads on here. I have most of the EZ add-on packs and a few Superior ones. Might get another EZ one this week (Rock) as I find I can never really have too many drums.

I use between 2 and 5 kits on a track and love mixing and matching elements. The EZ Metalheads and Claustrophobic kits are particular favourites and I love the Superior Roots and Sticks kits too. I'd love some orchestral drums (eg kettle drums) but there are none for Superior but there is a pack for BFD. But I don't have BFD!

Good luck with this track as I'm sure there's more to come from it.

There's so much soul in this piece. I'm convinced that guitar is alive.

OMG this is off the chart, I bloody love this mellow kind of rock :) pink Floyd style :)

Steve

I commented on the earlier version so won't say it all again (eg excellent guitar). But this is better.

Bass effective starting on 0:24 , gets better on 0:43.

Ambient beds are all good - just my kind of thing.

Little shakers good percussion choice but the one that comes in 1:04 interferes a bit with the guitar. Maybe they're not coming in on the right beat.

Still think more could be done with drums in those first few mins eg gentle cymbal rolls, a delayed fill here and there, maybe a hint of a beat fading in (have some fun with it) though basic sparse choice works fine.

Vocal sample 1:41 effective. Sounds like more vocal should now happen but I quite like that there is no more!

2:57 onwards bass is loud enough and effective. This section is probably all too loud, as can be seen on waveform (technical point) but good mix. Cool psychedelic section but needs to be longer! So, maybe return/drop back down to ambient chill though maybe with more of a beat this time. Maybe chop the guitar up a bit or something eg some reverse bits.

Behnam is an EXCELLENT guitarist. His style eludes me, though. I hear his talent and technique, but I have no idea where he goes with his music, but the man can PLAY HIS ASS OFF! Believe me, this is in no way a 'put down.' I love his playing, but I have no idea what the Fk he's doing! It is great, non-the-less!

Cheers,
Scott

BRIILIANT.. amazing synths too, great work srbrown7 :)

Steve

Man this is a very dope track.
Love the dynamics.
Very well produced.
Excellent job on the vocal mix, some of the best ive heard in a while. The synths and base line are just plain kick ass. My only critique here would be the Apollo recordings bit. I understand the tie-in but I've heard this done in other tracks so in that regard it sort of makes it yet another example. This track is huge and IMO doesn't need it.

Good job ! loved synths ,

Great track! The synth work is very effective in keeping non-repetive, which this is definitely not. The vocals were nicely edited as well. To just add to the overall sonic awesomeness of this track, it is catchy! Thanks for sharing.

I like it... JJWeekz is great for adding that "dazzle"!

Hello my Friend ....

Surprising introduction .... and you know how interested, the listener, who wants to know more about what he heard in the opening bars.
I love what you've done here .... It's very intense and the harmonies are beautiful ....
Effects are used so clever .... just to express what you want to convey as a message .... It's really nice and excellent.
Good job.

For me, it is a Chill / Dance ....

Dan

You're right, this is a great tune to chillout to. So long as we don't drink then drive, we will get to our destination. Keep up the good work.

woww ! I liked it very much !!
