This track I started while testing the new "Spire" synth with the idea to make something different than Trance

Lately it's moved more to a Electronic track with a pinch of Smooth Jazz. Ok, this is the final version of the track.

Length: 4:21
BPM: 132

I enjoyed it. It's like a hybrid of something groovy from the mid '90s with lots of TD instrumentation from the mid '80s. Very pleasant to listen to, with lots of nice sounds. Good mix.

Good work

I like this, I think the bass is a bit too pumpy and overpowering, could do with pullin back a bit, let the subtleties shine through a bit more.

Nice tune.

Thanks

Yes, the bass was a bit problematic... It needs a bit tuning to have them sounding so deep. So I had also a different version with a bit lower volume (so the kick is more present) which I replaced on Soundcloud right now.

Smooth with an excellent, tasteful arrangement. Very enjoyable and a nice Spire showcase.

+1 You could add this as a bonus track on Tangerine Dream's Poland album and it would fit right in.

I had no idea that there are some similarities with Tangerine Dream

It's now released officially and not private linked anymore. Only some small changes with mixing (levels). The song can be downloaded and it's free.

...and the release page, if somebody will listen or download the HQ version.

I asked Paul Hardcastle some days ago and he said that this style is "Chill Ibiza"

Smooth Jazz goes more in the direction of RnB and has not so much electronic "fills".

Btw. I uploaded the track also to Official.fm because it has the best quality (not re-encoded).

Very much enjoyed this, but having a bit of difficulty getting a copy. Bandcamp just goes to an error page and the buy link on Soundcloud does nothing

Maybe they all hate Firefox these days

Sorry for the inconvenience

I use Firefox and Chrome (both with Adblockers enabled) and it works without problems. Have you tried the Bandcamp page directly?

A smooth and pleasant opening to the day, very enjoyable listen! Nice arrangement and sound selection. Mix sounds good on the cans... it's not yet 6 AM here, so no monitors.
