Nice Saturday night dancefloor vibes.

3rd listen. Yes, this is a great unique track. Blending old time music with modern. The vocals are great too.

No worries.

The 5th track is quite a lot louder than the rest, as I'm sure you know but there is a nice stream of tracks here. Best of luck getting the album together.

Nice music Paul. Hope all is well. I've returned to share a track that I made which has been signed to a label. Check it out if you can.

Interesting, unique track. Never quite heard anything like it. It's almost like the 50s gelled with today. Good stuff

Nice relaxed track

Hi Mos, as you said you haven't finished this track yet, I will throw a couple of suggestions you could take into consideration when deciding to complete it. You may already have them figured out already:

1. Introduce a bit of reverb, delay and OTT on the vocal to introduce depth and stereo effect.
2. Introduce a chord change in the 2nd half of the track, to introduce some variation (example, if your song is in Am, then bring it down to FMaj, going up to GMaj and then back to Aminor again.
3. You need a strong finish for this, rather than a fadeout.

You probably already have solutions to complete it in mind, so these are just my personal observations.

It sounds like you are going through some stuff in your personal life. Hopefully your music is giving you some sort of outlet to help you through the dark times.

Best wishes.

... another strong message sent through song. Sounds like you made the best of your studio time! I like the vocals throughout, including the ad libs, they fit this very well. It's a great track, very listenable. I've gotta listen to your other track, Symphony for a Kid next. Best wishes.

Sounds unique, like nothing I've heard before, certainly. Well done for pushing the boundaries.

Hi Eric,

I agree with the comments about the unique structure of this track and have also taken on board your comments here and your earlier comments about struggling to produce trance in full. You may or may not take inspiration from the way I do it. The blueprint I generally follow for trance is to include 2 builds and drops in the track after an intro, with the outro (ending) of the track coming back to the intro...basically, after the 2nd drop sequence, there would be an altered version of the intro of the track for the ending. If you can get any value from that, fire away. When I first started, I used the above but only 1 build and 1 drop in the track...and looking back, I could see what was missing....round 2. Having listened to popular trance tracks in the mainstream, this method seems to be backed up there. Best wishes from the UK and good luck.

Nice overall vibe to this. I'm not sure the warped guitars work very well with this but that's just my personal opinion. I liked pretty much all of the rest of it...the sidechaining throughout, the bass kicks well and the vocals cuts through the mix well. Great track my friend. There's pretty much nothing I can discredit about it.

Hi mate....another track with a strong message in the lyrics. Nice panning on your vocals. Mental health is I think one of the most underrated conditions that doesn't get the spotlight it needs. We all suffer from it to some extent at some point in our lives. I think it's one of those things that we need to go through at some life stage to learn from the experience. Maybe we come back stronger for it in the next life...just maybe. Great track. Listened the whole way through.

... give a splice.com subscription a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Some rap vocals would work well with this type of music. Adding vocals would flesh things out considerably.

Well, that bass would certainly make car speakers quake. Not bad as a starting point....it needs developing if you want to make a full track out of it. It has got potential though, for sure.

Defo 90s vibes. I like the delayed effects on the synth at the start.

Hi, here's a couple of suggestions for a track title for this: "Termination", or "Judgement"

Great track Swansea...here commenting from the other side of the bridge (Turkland). Great vocals and vocal effects, nice overall production.

Paul, just to say I commend you for having the guts to get your voice out there. Mine would likely drown a thousand cats. I like the detail you put into the productions, and your capacity to explain it all. To me, the music you are creating is entertaining, and it's worth listening to the words because your music contains messages, which as I've said before, adds value to what you are doing.

It has that Richard Durand *vibe to it, not video..typo by me there.

Sounds great. I particularly like the piano piece. Nice build up and drop (twice), as per what a Trance track should have. It has that Richard Durand video to it. It would be interesting to hear what this sounds like with some female vocals added.

This is my 2nd full listen to this. Just reading some of the other comments and I think the bassline is a good job and perfect for this genre. I agree on your comment that it can be easy for the vocals to get lost - and reverb should definitely be used with caution. The vocals on this track stand out though and I like the delay effect you have on them. The cat vocal on the end was quite funny - it appears that, at the end of the day, the cat got all the reverb.

Nice, atmospheric track makes for easy listening. I second the feeling that your music fits the vocals nicely. Sounds good tested on a cheap pair of budget headphones...and a lot better on professional ones. Good job.

Hi Eric, I like this track you have made. For me, it has a Murder on the Dancefloor vibe to it. The mix sounds well balanced with the reverb control on the vocals being spot on. it is a very atmospheric track. Well done on a good job.
