Hey Danke. The challenge is something I set for myself. It makes me focus and I also have more fun because I don't spend hours listening to it again and again for mixing.
And yes, the track is more positive than my usual. Maybe because of the fun I was having. Though I can't resist a little splash of darkness.
Thanks for your comments. They are always welcome :)
Hey BLEEP. I totally agree. The song is simple, so it's production should be the same. I'm glad that the song connected with you. And thank you for feedback my friend.
Hi man. Glad you like it. And the challenge was actually really fun. I strangely felt a lot less pressure because I didn't have time to over-think anything.
great tune as the others...bit scary...your voice and the melodies are both superb...it needs nothing more...very muchn like that effect on th vocs at the final section...
Thanks man. I was going for 'haunting' more than scary, but I'll take it. Glad you like the vox and the melodies, means a lot coming from you. Thanks again.
A nice simple tune that sounds great. Seems like it pushes your lower register a little bit on the singing side. No percussion is needed for this one. I like it alot

Hi man. The vocals were all done in one take, I wanted a warts and all performance. I also didn't EQ out the lower register as heavily as I usually do. I agree about the percussion. This is all about simplicity. Thanks for listening.
Almost has a smiths feel to it. Very cool tune. I love the usage of 7th chords. In fact the chord structure is awesome. Also how you change the feel of the tempo with the drums kicks ##### as well. The vocals are like a hybrid of Joy Division, smiths and Momus.
Well done my friend.
Steve
Your vocal is def the star TA...like the acoustic guitar you should do it more often...its one of those things you can just stick a mic in front of & play...does have a dark vibe...flowing mainly from that low/fat piano I think...I`m hearing really nice production values all the way...actually the whole thing is really well put together...placement (nice stage set from L to R & front to back)...I don`t mind the sudden end at all...beats that lazy fade that a lot of us (including me) use....I think its one of your best my friend....great job....Ed
Lay off the reverb and bring your voice up in the mix. We add massive reverb when we feel insecure about our voice and try to hide it behind the echoes and choral sounds verb brings because it hides the out of tuneness. but no..... make it shine my man. And no more reverb on vox is not the way to go!
As I said to AsidRn below, I will change the parameters on the reverb so it is more apparent. I'll also cut some of the bass frequencies so they don't bog down the mix.
Thank you for listening and giving me your input. It really helps!
Very interesting and thoroughly entertaining song you're working here!
The vocals are quite cool, and not the usual for this looperman arena. I enjoyed the performance. The instrumental is also good in that early electronic fashion, most especially the composition as opposed to the sound design, which seems a bit more modern.
I'm not sure what "Stranger" is, but it obviously helped inspire some cool creativity in you, and that can't be bad. It was a fun listen, all the way through! Looking forward to hearing the finished product!
Loving this track mate, so electronic 80s! Your voice is so suited to this type of electronica! If I had one suggestion purely from my selfish taste, I would love to hear it with double time bass with a phaser or something on it, otherwise its classic 80s! Very well done my friend!!
