Things went slightly jazzy on me here. Also pulled the bpm back to an impossibly slow 65. Please check it out if you have a chance.

Anybody feelin' me on this? Negative comments are fine... let it fly!

OK!! I'm a cheap date but I thought this was a great piece of down tempo. Jazzy and atmospheric as hell...would make a great nouveau noir track. I can't really comment on the sound production as I listened over little tiny office speakers but I had to adjust the bass down a bit. (OTOH, I realize it was kind of the lead instrument). I kept expecting to hear a Miles Davis trumpet or smoky sax ease on in.

It's Grand Theft Auto music.

No, seriously, this is a cool piece of music. I thought the bass was fine. Cool sounds... cool beat.

...cool.

Cheers guys, thanks for the feedback!

mayan - I was actually trying to add a sultry (and weirded out) trumpet in the last third of the track. It's mixed way low though, may have to redo it. I also don't really have a proper trumpet (sample) for it.

Remixed with some slight level/eq/dynamics changes. In particular, brought up the "trumpet" part.

Anybody else want to check it out?

Ok folks, one more shot and then I'll let this one go. *Bump*

It won me from the first seconds. Very nice warm atmo with great little touches. I could live without the trumpet solo (unless it was played in reverse

) but overall a very nice track.

Oh, and very well produced.

Production values are very good, I agree. Personally, I always like a little more on the melody side, but the sounds are fantastic. Good, laid back beat.

Cheers goldbaker! I've been moving in all kinds of directions lately, some more melodic, others more abstract. The structure and mix of this track was a bit of an experiment for me. Thanks for posting your thoughts, I appreciate it.
