Still Chewing this one, like a star-burst watermelon flavoured candy in my mouth 1:38 on is my favourite part. But 1:56 breaks my jaw. 2:42 grinds my jaw to pulp with that clean sounding bass-line. Nice background synth to counterpoint the bass-line. The it sounds retro-60]s organ like with all the glissando's. good work on this one Evan

Ahh my friend, you have added Trance sensibilities to Drum and bass rawish sounds. good mix. I agree with Val d's assessment of the vox. A cool pan would do wonders. You can get lost in this song (in a good way) good work mucho props from this corner of the web
Steve

cool intro and interesting electro tune. Old school in some ways modern in others. I hear Pet shop boys, I hear TSOSheffield. Great job.

Love the R& B , I would love to hear the vox without the effects. I think that would be effective in the mix.

Ahh when two of my favourite composers get to work together it's like looking at the sun.... Intro is awesome and builds upon the tension of what's going to come. 1:30 gives us a slew foot drum beat with a nice piano riff intermixing with T-weeds sublime g-tar. Bass is simple but effective. I think to make this truly work you need a more movable bass-line. And I would bring the guitar more forwards in the mix. The piano should be more in the background. This is a good song, just needs a deft touch in the mixing department. 4:30 gives us a hint of a possible cool synth solo but chickens out.
I hate to critique ... but This has such potential to be a potent song but it feels to me that it is stumbled or blocked by something. Missing a flow or chemistry in both your awesome talents. I will listen again tomorrow with a clearer(less tired working a lot) mind and maybe give some more thoughts to this one. As I really appreciate the work you both do. And respect you both as amazing musicians.

Nice use of Midi, interesting albeit older analogue drum kit usage, but it works for this tune. I like the strings as well. I think my only critique would be a better defined bass line and more movable. But good work and nice expansive use of MIDI.

very creative version indeed. ;-)

I agree with Behnam's synopsis, but it has potential to be something bigger, I can hear it, it just needs some tweaking. Maybe some live synths. I like the delayed vocals. It needs some more varied percussion, and maybe slow the tempo down just a squeak. Maybe a guitar solo. I would have to think about this one my friend.

You have a great sense of the dissonant. The percussion reminds me a bit of Bear Mcreary's work on Battlestar Galactica. compelling cinematic exploration. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

Yeah this is deep underground house. Green Velvet like I think. Very creative minimal and enjoyable . Great work way out there and I love that in this work.

I don't care that people might feel that the guitar work is simple. Nor that the vocals are not polished. It is an expression of minimalistic sound and emotional singing that even though does not resonate in our English thinking minds (not all of you mind that) It touches all of us as musicians at what ever level we are at as an expression. and there is something too this that is compelling. It's kinda like when I listen to Midnight Oil's Bed's are Burning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejorQVy3m8E&html5=1
I know Peter Garrett is not the greatest singer by any stretch and parts are off key..but the way he delivers the emotional impact in a ..dare I say simple chord structure of a song..but it compels me to turn up the volume every time. The message, the emotion of the song just compels you to listen. Or Neil Young (great songwriter..not a great singer (unless harmony)) but still just compeling to listen too...Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Chrissy Hynde, Sioxsie Sioux.. I could go on. IMHO

Ahhh, made me play an old Sega game emulator on my phone...shining force...loved that game..good memories, nice work.

Brilliant intro, lovely ambient sounds. like metallic and pad;like at the same time. Then a dissonant string hangs above the metalicpad swirl, interluded with bass clangs. You sir have not only understood what ambient is really about, you have added to the fine small distinction of ambient artists who get it right! hats off to you! Oh and I may have crapped my pants.....:-(

Steve

It's nice

Freaky good, some dark disco going on here. Maybe we could name this genre Litho-Disco. As usual your vox shine for me, nice bass line. The synth line at 2:20 is nice. Love the ending. Great work Spiv. Studio is almost finished here in my new location so I can remix again. will be contacting you soon.
Steve

I like the percussion and the moving bass-line. I must agree that the synth sounds might not completely fit this tune, But it's a real interesting song nonetheless. And I enjoyed it just the same.

Ok right at the 30 second mark. Go into Acid and make the measure margins to 64th or 128th notes. there you can manipulate the vocal loop to be just a hare forward. I hear the vocals starting just a little bit soon. Play with that and you will see (hear) what works for this track. It's a great track, just needs the sync of the vox. I think the tempo is ok for the vox, just needs to fit the beat. Your gonna get it right soon, I believe that!
Steve

Tres old-school. and nice beginning builds. Post Moroder, Pre Van Dyk! Nice place to be.

Laughter is the best medicine, as the old saying goes.! Beautiful song helping me wind down from a stressful day at work.
Thanks\Steve

Very nice piece of piano work my dear!
thoroughly enjoyed it as my wife is making a succulent duck dish . perfect entre.

Chilly Chill with a hint of middle-school house. nice tune!

Ok now that you have synched.. there is still a disjoint. try delaying the vox slightly to to the beats as it still sounds just a hare off. what loop program are you using? FL or Acid. The vocals sound almost a slight bit rushed to these ancient ears and I think if you adjust with just a hare trigger to the future they would match better. Please let me know...this is good work and has great potential.
Steve

This is like a Scottish anthem from a bass perspective. Nice work. Always moving providing some interesting bagpipes to add to the flavour, and then it ends. too short.

IMHO
Steve

I really like what you are doing here. But My spider sense tells me that at some points the rhythm is hurried in comparison to the vocals. Maybe you would want to re visit the timing of the vocals to the beats.
But I like where you are going with this. It has great potential.
Steve

I liked this tune of yours , it's catchy and a nice arrangement of percussion, vox and instruments. great work Mark!
