I didn’t like the drums at first, but then the samples came in, including the human voice. That was kind of nice.
Repetitive, but would make a chill out track (I prefer lots and lots of variation within the span of just a few patterns).
I was hoping the root chord would change around 1.47. But I decided to keep listening to the song as a chill out track.
If I knew how to describe the sounds you used, I would be able to express myself better.
Let’s see, there’s the bassline (which is good).
Then there’s the “dun dun, dun dun”. That’s okay too.
What didn’t get old is the otherworldly, backwardish sample that was driving the dominant melody.
I didn’t mind the vocal samples. They didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the song.
3.43 minutes in, I’m about to stop the song because I’m in an active listening mode, not a chill out mode.
Basically, I can predict how the song is going to go until it’s over.
Oh, scratch that, you made minute changes about 4.00 in.
It mildly catches my interest. Now at 4.34 we’re back to the original phrases.
5.13 in, I can notice subtle changes that I didn’t notice a few seconds ago.

I’ll go ahead and judge this track decent, but just keep in mind I prefer really dramatic chord changes, complex note progressions, and lots of variation in percussion and melody.
So that’s how someone from that musical preference views your track. I think it’s always good to get that kind of feedback, instead of just appealing to the normal set of users that will simply say, “It’s good music”.

OH, I SEE. There’s more music.
I thought the whole thing was one track.
Well, I’ll listen to the other songs later.
I’ve got to go play some Sim City right now.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Appreciated :)

Love the sounds at 12.06. :)

Checked out the first two, quality tuneage for sure. They both get a bit repetitive for me after the 5 minute-ish mark but that had to happen in a house record I guess :) Nice production for sure.

Grats for your release :yeah:

Cheers for the feeds guys

Congratulations for the release :)
I like most the third track, and then B1. The A1 has nice ideas, but it has not the flow and the arrangement is not made so good like the other two.

I really like the B1 worker track! Maybe a b-part would reduce the repetitive character a bit. The drums sound very good to me.
