patience.. seems to pay off here. i really enjoyed how the complexity grows as it moves along. really nice job of building on top of the starting sounds & weaving it all together-obviously a lot of thought went into this. my criticism was going to be that it loses steam during the last half, but your explanation that this is a house track makes sense in this regard. this should be very complimentary to the oncoming track. you might throw some song art on this so it gets more rotation on MJ |

wonderful rhythm I agree with the others' observations that this track has very high production values. It has a very meticulous, deliberate energy, sort of like creating a Japanese garden with its carefully raked sand, judiciously placed pebbles, artfully trimmed bonsai, and tasteful placement of bubbling fountains. I really like the rhythmic "displacement" you have created with the percussion and piano, trading off the beat emphases. Very nice. As with all your tracks, a strong sense of innovation and individuality shines through. My only suggestion for this track would be to have even more of a distinctive melodic "hook". The repeated piano chords are heading in the right direction, but don't quite achieve the hook, for me anyway. It's almost like there's something missing. But truly, I do not want to belittle the very positive aspects of this well-done track. I enjoyed listening to it very much! |

Chilled But Intense I actually Love this track, yes I do think the intro is slightly too long, but I like the sparseness of the beginning that builds in and out with wonderful textures of sound.I love the softness of the piano against the bass beat Its a very precise track.. which means I think you spent a while on arranging this. Great production and a good club number. Sounds great through headphones. Love it! SlimGirlFat |

Update Thanks for all the comments. I have updated it with a few changes: - The bass drum doesn't appear before the snare drum - The long intro is revived slightly by a breath-like percussion pattern - Some of the 'far piano' notes were corrected |

It's there for me! Really enjoyed listening to this composition. Well-crafted. I have downloaded it to use as a soundtrack for my photos in iPhoto. |

Here we go again Down-voter, where have you been? I was worried you would oversee my song this time. Sure enough you picked it up and made sure it goes down to 6. Happy thanksgiving to you. |

Peaceful I am a little bit confused with the rythm : overall it's such a peaceful piece, very relaxing and then there is this drum that goes a little bit too fast to my taste. I am puzzled with the sound of the sea in the middle. My ears had replaced that from the intro with the piano bits. It must have taken you a great amount of time to adjust the production... very detailed. Good job ! |
This is a very patient and detailed composition. Your various sampled elements are way cool and their placement is meticulous. Super-clear and crisp production! The piano part makes for a nice harmony/melody vehicle. Interesting how it almost changes traditional roles with percussion. At times the piano is like the floor and the samples/percussion are the "melodic" elements.
The loudness of the electronic bass drum sort of surprised me when it kicked in (sorry for the pun). The track was very ambient up to that point (the "intro" being longish) and had created sort of a false expectation for me. That's not really a criticism, but I don't know if it was something you intended. (7-10-7-8)
