it is a real driving unapologetic grind (finally does let up of course) it works on me - grabs and does not let go. the combination of the bells with some chorus is very effective. all of the secondary embellishing sounds are beautiful, as is the mix. very spiritual. like your stuff. cheers.

enjoyed your space track. the sweeping synth sounds really do create the expansive feel I think is needed for out in space. there is a "knocking" sound you use that perhaps does not fit for me - but it is subtle. beautiful blends here. nice sounds. cheers!

a nice intro concept - nice hard hitting beat. when the hard hitting drops out for a few secs it will be an interesting chance to introduce some new color - maybe something with a sustained feel - even for a split second.

u take ur time with the repetitive sections and it creates some real tension. nice work.

it almost is like a "babaloo" groove (you would have to have watched Ricky Ricardo on "I love Lucy"! but really - this is an awesome piece. i love the groove - and the vocals is like sparkling ice - perfect sound for this. very transparent mix - great work. loving it.

when that first statement of vocals comes in right at the beginning it gave me a shiver it was so perfect. you know how to keep adding elements as you go to maintain interest, development your piece.

ah - second occurrence of vocals. it is a beautiful mix you are getting there. and you bring in some string type sounds it seems.

very sophisticated work. i'm impressed! keep it up!

you can really together a beat. sounds great. i like the use of more than one voice, adding a bit of harmony, some counterpoint. it's really great. there seems to be a little disconnect harmonically between the vocal line and the instrumental. but hey - this is about chocolate!

nice rapping. awesome words. keep going my friend. peace

your voice sounds really good and is mixed really well into this track. the mood is exquisitely decadent. nice work! will check out the video.

had me in a trance beginning to end. there is a brief section you bring back in middle and end which creates unity. nice sounds, nice mixing. look forward to hearing more of your recent stuff. spark on!

i was dancing in spirit if not on feet! neat use of the gapping technique. creates a lot of rhythmic interest. also panning is very nice throughout. drumming is awesome. great work!

nice work. lots of interesting elements and attention to detail and great mixing. the gapping effect (muting?) is very effective. for me this had a middle eastern flavor. islamic dubstep! as far as constructive critique: possibly some advanced applications of reverb to create a unique space of spaces in your work might be an opportunity to explore. you are way ahead of me! spark on!

very hypnotizing. the thing I like best about it is the clarity and transparency of all the lines. and the foreign language is interesting. very interesting spellbinding work! regards

very beautiful. interesting the effect you use on vocal of bringing it closer and then further away. keep up the great work.

beautiful clear voice. very solid and dramatic. i like the various doubles and counterpoints here and there around the vocal. nice job.

neat effect at the end. nice sounding guitar. good luck with it.

the use of chorus is very nice touch. lots of interesting elements in this beat. nice job. good luck building it.

i liked the groove a lot. at the end I thought I heard an organ note. seems like at the point you break off the song might want to come down a bit - you know - lighten up the groove and have an extended chill organ solo or something, then build it up again (maybe with some bongos or something jammin with the organ), and back with a reprise of the lyrics for an ending. good luck!

the groove really hypnotizes after a while. i felt you did a great job of sustaining a mood, maintaining interest throughout the piece, with just subtle changes, variations.

great energy. all the voices and sounds mixed crystal clear. as another incarnation sometime, i would enjoy hearing this one with the sounds spread out, murkier, and with gentler velocities. it would be the "dreamier" mix! nice work. enjoy your stuff.

very creative work. the stuttering (from "mute" effect I guess) at beginning creates some great tension. nice variety of things going on but it all fits well. all IMHO of course.

cast a nice spell here! good to open with pure electronic madness and then to close with pure electronic effect. creates good balance (all IMHO!)

nice pick me up for my Monday morning! great song! i hear a crazy, subtle "edge" on the vocal that sounds very cool. am I imagining? or some bit of effect there? guitar work is tasty! criticism? exploring dynamics contrasts is always interesting to shade a work. anyway - awesome track! regards, Dan

beautiful mix, dazz. very interesting percussion sounds, the "wash" of suspended cymbal, toms or maybe tympani even? insistent bass line drives it well. thoroughly enjoyed. - Dan

beautiful mix. love the guitar playing. big Santana fan as well so that always helps! thanks for the trivia background as well. that is appreciated! regards, - Dan

you take your time developing each section - allow the listener to sit with something for a while and you develop everything in a smooth well-integrated way. and you hold a mood, even as you add colors, variation. some of the reasons I like your stuff. could go on and on, not even mentioning strong technical level. criticism? maybe there is a more subtle way to transition from intro section to main section. all the respect in the world for your work. cheers.
