Kind of an odd blend, this one. My best description would be down tempo electronic ethno-blues. Hopefully it'll hit the mark for some of you. Oh, I know, it could be shorter.

Yes, there's certainly a clockwork feel isn't there? Thanks normal!

Very nice. first I thought this is going to go somewhere, then I thought it was stuck and wouldn't move at all, then towards the end I decided it went somewhere alright, but I hadn't noticed until I pressed rewind

lovely. it made me think of loads of little clockwork creatures running around doing... stuff. some of it naughty.
i wouldn't have minded if it was a lot longer actually as it had me in a bit of a trance

That was a fun one. I heard some creepy granular voices toward the end... couldn't decide if they were there or I was just imagining them.

Left a couple of comments on teh cloud version.

Like that, it had me doing the old man dance. You know, the one your dad does at a wedding, however now I'm my age I'M the dad

Thanks muchly guys!

There are a few granular voices in the track Justin, but nothing that's really subliminal. It's a weird reverb tho, an echo chamber IR that definitely produces some ghostly traces.

tehlord - Old man dance? No idea what you're talking about.

that's a good description, it sort of creeps along on you, rolling and not seeming to change perspective a whole lot, but keeping your interest in various subtle ways, so by the end it has changed tremendously. personally, i felt a lot like driving in an old pickup truck through rough sort of bumpy terrain on a super hot, hazy, sunny day (an experience i've had more than once).

Excellent. This is really groovin'. Nice contrasting sounds in the mix here. Leave those sheep alone!

Cheers jopy + seismic! Really glad to hear that the transitions were smooth.

Sheep are people too, sort of... in a pinch.
