I love that big sustained bass that comes in around 0:19. That's got me into the mood for a beer, which must be a good thing. The pluck motif reminds me of an Indian-influenced dance hit from about 10 years ago or so. I liked the ep arp with it's Halloween vibes, and the pads/choirs fit the Gothic mood very well.

Good work

Sounds great layzer! Good build to the cool bass riff at 1:00.
Lots of nice sounds.
My favourite part is the last section with the choir...
Well done.

Special vibes...
It remains in a preliminary state, the second half is basically a break, leaving the listener in anticipation of a main part which doesn't appear.

I really like the spacey atmospheric feel of the song. Very groovy bassline and the various use of arps, especially that string arp. This song definitely has a heavy Gothic vibe to it. I dig!

It starts off with an impressive horror soundtrack vibe including something reminiscent of the Halloween/Tubular Bells riff. Then it takes a surprisingly funky turn and we bounce the rest of the way in gloriously mixed Layzersound.

Cool track!

I like what I hear but it sounds sort of experimentally incomplete like maybe it needs to cook on the stove a while longer. Or it's done, which is fine.

Good work

thanks for checking it out, tim.
the sub bass is TAL Elektro. ive discovered that it is better to only have a "burst" of
loud sub bass at the attack, then decay it down to a lower volume sustain.
it not only makes the mix less muddy at the low end, but avoids fatigue
as the song nears the end. but has that inital inpressive energy at the start,

simple little plucks with a simple little FM plug with a little verb added.

and yeah, my standard pads emersed in layzersound.

yeah, except they did not have layzersound in the late80s early90s
or can you not hear the difference with your iphone earbuds?

Nice. I think your mix (song mix AND and genre mix) is spot on.
