Well I'm not back at work, but I thought I'd leave the computer on a DL a few tracks. Those of you using Soundclick (or similar) will have to wait till I'm on the cable - streaming sucks.

Not a bad track here mate. Intro is well thought out with some nice stereo space too. Some parts I felt became too minimal, but that's just me with this sort of tune. I like complexity when the beat is quite straight is all.

Drums - Like the general feel of the drums and I like the Snare substitue and also the dull bell. The drums could do with some beefing up a little though - A little more punch on that kick (personal choice though). I thought the kick sat too far back once the song gets moving.

Bass - Seemed to sit far back in the mix alot. I think beefing up the kick and the bassline would help the "groove" of the track a fair bit.

FX - The FX style synths are cool. Used well and fit well.

Pads and atmospherics - Probably my favourite part of the song actually. Pitty there wasn't more of them through-out the track - maybe would have helped the minimalist feel I mentioned earlier.

All in all a pretty good number. Found myself getting bored a little though after 3 mins or so, but that could be because it's not the style of music I normally get into to. I liked some of the synth sounds, although a few seemed the same as many other tracks in this genre.

Thanks for the listen.
