Very nice, I like how it waxes and wanes in intensity. 2:10 is an awesome transition. Musically it's like a ballerina pirouetting on your ears with the soft arrangements. Try remixing this with less compression and more emphasis on the dynamics, and lower the percussion snare slaps in the mix, and you will start to approach the sound Bryan Ferry perfected in the eighties and nineties. Awesome sounds overall.

It sounds like it's all centered around the guitar work to me (please correct me if I'm wrong so I don't live in some illusion lol). I love it, sounds like it envelopes into itself and then minimally variates into it's best sound. I love this entire track -- it feels ethereal, delicate, and bold all at once. With my taste nowadays I can imagine some more impact from the drums, heavy 808s, modern hi-hat rhythms, which will drop the main chunk of your beat closer to EDM territory. Another thing I want to say is that the end of the track feels nearly unfinished, by that time I was brought on a journey and was waiting for more but got the end of the nearest bar. I think that this track explores the many different directions you would ambiently take it which is a tease to me.
Thanks for your work! True music to my ears tonight
I agree that the ending is a bit of a departure from the rest of the track and, admittedly, hasn't received the attention of the other sections. However, I was worried about the amount of time needed to gently resolve the song. The track is five minutes long and for a lot of listeners it starts to be taxing. That being said, it's likely I will occasionally revisit this track to add polish. Another minute wouldn't be too bad. I'm unsure about what you meant by your last sentence, but I find repetition frustrating and I have received criticism on other tracks for quickly shifting ideas. I don't hear many songs that do it and I like the uniquity. As far as 808s and heavy drums go (I avoided 808s on this track because I wanted my bass playing to stand out), you might like my other track 'From Away'. It's an EDM song made in similar form to this one. I greatly appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
