Nice ambient, soulful hip-hop track you have here. It's the kind of song that gives you a sense of ease and well being. I enjoyed it very much.

I'm loving the mix and sharp production. The lead melody does get a little repetitive though; It's basically "Making Christmas" from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Differentiating the motif will help this track come alive. Other than that, it's really good.

Those synth strings are so beautiful. It's like silk for the soul. And you've mixed the bass wonderfully; keeping it humming away underneath the other instruments. The progression is perfect, sorrowful refrains give way to uplifting moments of hope. This really was a pleasure to listen to.

TA

I was marveling at how clean and expansive your sound was, then that acoustic guitar drifted in and I swooned! This is all kinds of epic. Really great stuff.

Cool track. Very nice production. I always enjoy hearing something that is familiar, but has it's own voice (this most literally). I would like to have heard a little reverb on the vocals. Just to really blend them in with the soundscape. But that's just personal taste and some would strongly disagree. I loved listening to it either way. Thank you for sharing it.

I think you're very right to be proud of this track. It has a wonderful magic that allows you to float somewhere between the bassline and the high piano line. I particularly enjoyed the moment at 2.45 when the bass begins to bounce around playfully. Great work.

I feel like I've taken ecstasy with a group of hyperactive fauns. That's another thing I can tick of my bucket list. Thanks :)

I'm glad the thrill is back, I always miss it when it's away. This a very uplifting tune which struts about the place cool and confidently. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

TA

That was incredible! Impeccable flow, sharp words and neat rhymes. I'm guessing you cut the track before the mic hit the floor.

Loving this track. Very chilled and easy to listen to. The vocals sound great and the staccato bassline that comes in after the chorus really livens the track. The spritely pads are a really nice touch, they play a lovely catchy melody.
My only criticism is the claps in the second chorus. They're not quite snappy enough to punctuate the beats as they should do. However, It's a small qualm in an otherwise brilliant track. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Subchief. I'm liking the sounds, it's got a nice chunky groove to it. I get the feeling that you've taken a lot of time and care to get the sound you wanted from the guitar and it's paid off. Now you need to work on expanding the arrangement. Maybe some higher guitar leads, like a cleaner guitar with lots of delay, would give the track a kind of Tool feel. If you wanted to be experimental you could also try playing a synth through a VST amp. That would make the track even grittier.

Best of luck in developing the track, I look forward to seeing where you take it.

I'm a little lost for words. I think someone drugged my cereal...

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said, but this is a brilliant track. It's quirky and captivating. A great example of when an experiment goes right. Love it.

TA

I love the arrangement in this track. You strip it back and throw it all back in at the right moments. The play between the vocals and the piano is what really makes the track so interesting. Definitely a favorite.

TA

Well if there were any cobwebs in my brain your track certainly blew them out! I loved everything about it.
Psychedelic brilliance.

TA

Well I want more... so that can only be good!

TA

I really like this, It's got a very late-70's feel. As Oceanically mentioned, there's something of Bowie about it. You have a great voice as well by the way. It's very bright and clear. I would love to hear you do a ballad. I'll definitely be checking out more of your stuff.

TA

What a great track. The bright, floaty piano melodies and that smooth bassline work so well together. The progression is simple, but the execution is very detailed and infectious. I can't really help you with genre, I think that the creator has the ultimate say in what their music should be represented as. The closest I can say is electronic pop, but that does your ingenuity an injustice. So we'll just label it under "awesome" and be done with it :P

TA

I agree with SlotheProdigee. Don't cut the bass. The track has a great vibe going on and it's a shame to let it drop out. Other than that, it's brilliantly oppressive and sinister. Very nice work.

TA

The breathing and the atmos are really well done. I like how the zombies come in from the left, giving you a sense of their approach. It's not easy to tell a story through sound without dialogue and you pulled it off nicely.

TA

This is not a genre I usually go out of my way to listen to, but this really gripped me from the start. It builds so beautifully and changes with such fluidity it never falters. I especially love the soulful piano melody at the end. It leads the track out smoothly. The perfect come down track after a good night.

TA

I like it. Reminds me a little bit of Atreyu (who I loved back in the day). I think your vocalist has definitely listened to them. It's a pretty solid production compared to a lot of homemade metal that I hear online all the time. If you could get some studio drumbeats and add some more intricate lead riffs, you could really take the sound to the next level. But for what you've created with tools you have. I'm impressed!

TA

This a really fun track, very bright. Your mixing and leveling is fine, especially for someone new to the game. My only issue is there's quite a lot going on here right off the bat. This is more a problem of arrangement rather than mixing. The track needs a little room to breathe, maybe build up a bit to it's full "shinyness"; if that makes sense? Either way, it's an impressive start. Keep working at it and I'm sure you'll be making some excellent songs.

TA

Nice smooth, jazzy grooves. This is a track for a warm lazy Sunday with a cold beer. I like it very much!
