Awesome.
Very original and unexpected.
I should put a link to this also in "Made With Mu.Lab" thread. It might be inspiring for others.

What a sublime track you've created! Very creative use of a limited sound palette. Thanks for that.

Loved it! Very strange and unique; wonderfully atmospheric. A very uncluttered track, though I wouldn't call it minimalist either. I loved that it never got too repetitive; just kind of flowed from one section to another. I've been playing around more and more with sound effects, my own voice, and musical use of non-instruments, so this is particularly interesting to hear.

Thumbs up for the weird!

really enjoyed this. it brings up a very moody, spooky atmosphere without sounding cartoonish or overdone. i heard a lot of subtle details that really intrigued me. the progression through different sections was also interesting to hear.

Nice, enjoyed the sound choices and ambience.. thought it would have worked as well without the broken chords at start and end actually.. good job!

Awesome track, that I also voted as #1 in June contest.

Few elements, but greatly used: the attitude I like the most.

i agree with the others, lots of creativity from just a coffee can and voice, larger than the sum of its parts. and it works musically. nice stuff.
