Thumbs up: epic instrumental. To me is awesome just because is a typically metal atmosphere transported into electronic (or cinematic, as someone said before). Eq, balancing, final mix mastering is a pleasure for ears. Appreciated the "Save a prayer" tribute that drives to the end of track.
Closed fist: vocals are a bit neglected, i mean there are no relevant fx on. In your place i would kill a bit the mid, which are too bulky, and that encumbrance makes sometimes unintelligible the words. Then, it fits a bit of panning, crossfading with wet and dry reverb.
Thumb down: there are some parts in vocal coaching not matching with background music. They maybe could be fixed using the cheapest trick of pitch bending (it would compensate the lack of fx on it). The percussions has not so much variations, in a so long track maybe can tire the brain, which stops listening to them. For example, in the half of track, you could add a real drum beat (saturated, which is good too). The ending cames too suddenly, maybe can be fixed and improved.
In general, it is an excellent track, the defect of which, all things considered, do not affect the validity of the idea.
Thanks for this honest feedback, that's what i need, even if i'm not sure i can do better. I'll try to explain and answer you as precisely as possible (with my hard working english).
For the voices you're right, I wanted as little effect as possible, so that the voice is as comprehensible as possible, but in fact it makes it "flat" or something like that. Also, i ever killed a bit the mid, but i have to work on it again. You say "there are some parts in vocal coaching not matching with background music", i don't have this impression, can you tell me witch part ?
For the percussions, once again you're right, usually i try to make variations in drums, but this time i wanted something repetitive and that don't take to much place in the mix, i'll have to see that again. And i'll try to fix the suddenly end too.
Fantastic piece of post-apocalyptic mood, full-bodied percussions fill the soundstage very well and the gloomy synth recalls images of dark alien worlds crossed by threatening predators. A great job
J'ai vu sur ton profil que tu tais franaise, je me permets donc de te rpondre en franais. je ferrai un "google traduction" pour les anglophones.
Tu me parlais d'Archive sur le commentaire de ma prod et bien l on retrouve vraiment l'ambiance de ce groupe. La voix est envoutante, les instruments et les percussions sont judicieusement leurs places et bien slectionns. On retrouve la mme ambiance sur tes autres titres. Bravo toi, je garde un il sur tes prochaines ppites.

Hi Ignome,
I saw on your profile that you were French, so allow me to answer you in French. I will do a "google translation" for English speakers.
You told me about Archive on the comment of my prod and there we really find the atmosphere of this group. The voice is captivating, the instruments and the percussions are judiciously in their places and well selected. We find the same atmosphere on your other titles. Congratulation to you, I keep an eye on your next prods.
Salut et merci infiniment. C'est toujours plaisant de lire ce genre de commentaire. Archive restera un grand groupe et une grand inspiration pour moi, mme si je n'aime pas tout. Pour ton soundcloud, ce que j'ai cout c'est franchement bien, mme si tes choix de vocaux ne seraient pas forcment les miens. A+
English trad :
It's always nice to read this kind of comment. Archive will remain a great group and a great inspiration for me, even if i don't like everything. I liked what i heard on your soundcloud, even if i would not choose the same vocals as you. Bye
Very beautiful and elegant sounds for a piece of atmosphere that develops in an original way. In some passages it reminds me of the atmosphere of Autechre. A sober, very clean job with impeccable production.
This is really cool. It's reminiscent of the Throbbing Gristle, Psycic TV, Chris & Cosey, British avant garde electronica of the 70's & 80's. I'm a right nutter for that era. Cheers.
