Something new... still needs some tidying but ready for feedback.

Hood, Rachmad & Audion influences, dirty minimalish stuff

yeah sounds pretty good mate, a couple of really high freq's that maybe need toning down a little as they are very sharp at loud volumes, mainly the the highest note of the lead bell/synth. Could do with maybe a touch more verb and compression to hold everything together just a tad more but a really nice track definately, really digging it mate :)

Yeah, they can get a little piercing, need to tone them down. Agree on verb and compression, still needs some tidying.

Thanks for the feedback mate, glad you like it

Yeah unlike Scott I like the bang bang....but this is pretty cool too man. I agree with him that the synth does chime a bit high to the senses. I think maybe you could duck a couple of dark little atmos some where in the back as well. Would give it just a touch more movement in my humble opinion. Maybe a couple of edits to that synth noise as well...(I.e. a couple differant patterns) Then again what do I know...all I make is the bang bang.

Keep up the good works man.

i love bang bang, not sure where u got it from that i dont like it. Just everything in moderation for me, tracks like this still bang it but in a totally different way.

Cool tune mate. All the elements work off one another nicely, Nice shuffly groove. Sort of minimal but more than minimal(if that makes any sense).
Agree about the 'chimey' synth being a bit harsh at times> You've been employing 'Mr Sherman', again have'nt you?

nice track dude, like it alot!

luv me sherman... need to get a handle on the fine line between warm dirty sounds and harshness though. Will take on board the edits & movement comments - cheers messanger

'more than minimal' - is a dead good description, really pleased with that

yeah nice track, just needs some tidying up, but the overall groove and feel of the track is there

I like this but honestly it left me wanting a bit more... another element or something that comes in. The percussion changes work but they are very subtle. I would personally add a bit that would play off of the main pattern to keep things interesting throughout.
