Starts off really well...

Starts off really well... the sounds are good and has a good feel to it! Sadly it didn't hold my interest long enough! Either make the track a bit shorter or add more variation!

structure is nice though it

structure is nice though it seems that intro and bass part ar e in different musical keys, needs more high frequencies and punch imo.


snare is muddy & clashy. i'd

snare is muddy & clashy.
i'd put more thin & sharp one.
i think first breakdown is made too early.
second drop comes with another vibe. not good imho.
the beat has some feeling of bit reduction processing.
also not good.

that switching between diff vibes isnt kool imho.
extra psychodelic elements doesnt fit the scheme.
even percussion is bit reduced.
that kick trancy build up seems out of the vibe too.

too much mashed here imho.
i prefer more accurate style holding.
bass & percussion mashing looks senseless in the outro.

The way the vocal sample

The way the vocal sample works in this tune is great. Drums are good the tablas or whatever follow the drums very nice. I like the vibe... well atleast the vibe on the vocal samples and the pads and FXs and everything. I feel that the bass however is out of context it has a completely different
vibe. As the bass serves as a major part of the tune here for me it gets like two vibes clahsing with one another. I also got the feeling that this tune needs more variation but when I think about it it has lots. Its just the bass
thats monotone. But as its a big part of the tune it makes the whole tune monotone. I could defenently see a different bass here making a huge difference. If it werent for the over viby parts off this song it would get a 5.5 or something. But if it werent for the bass I think it could reach upp towards 8 somewhere.


 The structure is good,

 The structure is good, building up nicely to the drop, some good filtering on the drums.  The jazzy feel is nice, with a hint of darkness.

The bassline is quite monotonous though, it only has 2 different tunes, involving only 3 different notes.  More variety is needed there musically.

The track is quite long at 7mins as well, and doesn't have enough going on to fill it.


the track is okej, I like

hmmm, not fond of the wobbly

hmmm, not fond of the wobbly bass at all. i'm being very subjective right now but i'm really not feeling it. also the tunes seems unfinishe. as a sketch it's cool but not as a finished song.

voice samples at beginning

voice samples at beginning confuses the rhythm a bit.some of the elements don't sit well with each other.
