Great vibe to this tune. Very chill. I really dig the use of multiple pads. Fading and panning on pans creates really nice effects and transitions. I also dig the chilled groove that's first established around 1:17.

Nice one.

Nice song, I like the layering of the pads/choirs/textures (how many did you use?)...

The beat is a bit too shy, it could have a few more percussion elements!

Thanks

The main pad I programmed with the Virus. Another is from Predator and from Diva.
There is also a lot automation of filter, volume, panning and stuff.

This.

edit/add: the 'announcements' of something happening disappoint every time you use them. For example: you seem to launch a break but then the track doesn't change at all.

In addition to Tricky's comment: you should either reduce the percussion even more or enrich it by further elements from time to time.

Also I think you've chosen the 'wrong' speed. I remember that I've said this about another tune of your's some time ago. Funny or coincidence or fundamental reception by me... I don't know.

I`ll be listening to it more to 'see' what it is i`m hearing...but for the moment on 1st listen I can`t stand the hats. The sounds are all smooth but you have these chattering hats clicking..it`s way annoying to me.
EDIT - Yes, your whole upper end reminds me of bugs. It seems overly biased towards sounds that bugs hear and make.

Thank you guys, nice comments and good input

Track is accepted for airplay on Digitally Imported (Chillout Channel) and the label Galileo Dreams will release it in the next weeks...

Congrats, Frank. Hope it sells.

Hehe, but I don't think there will be enough sells to cancel my job

I see it more as promotion and the internet radio helps a bit to reach more listeners.

I believe that`s true only for the reason that insects don`t have Paypal accounts...at least the phylum I know.

Good luck with all your music Frank...just having a bit of fun here, hoping your OK with it.
