This is great - I love the way the different elements are brought in and layered on top of each other, so that what starts out feeling fairly sombre ends up being really uplifting. And I've always been a sucker for a nice bit of Mellotron! Excellent track, lovely sound.


Thanks for listening and for the feedback, kryptonaut. Glad you liked it Smile

I really enjoy building up tracks layer by layer, so it's always nice to hear that the process is working. I love putting those 'tron sounds into tracks. One of the bands I was in used to have a Mellotron, so I grew up with a heavy exposure to that sound. They could be temperamental.

I enjoyed the whole thing, but from around 4:40 to the end is especially nice. Thanks, seismic1.

Bloody hell Tim! Fantastic development as always, lovely melodic touches, great instrumentation, and I love the New Order vibe. Thumbs Up!

Fan-flippin-tastic Very Happy

Driving beat, great arrangement which holds the interest from start to finish, great sounds and deft melodic touches. And a 'tron Cool . What's not to like?

(Think I might have to get me one o' them RedTrons - it sounds terrif!)

Nice one, Tim Smile

The improvements made from the original track to this remix were quite simple and yet so effective that the track is barely recognisable. But the fact of the matter is that I was telling myself that the original track was finished because I hadn't really enjoyed making it (or 3 of the previous 4 tracks). That was about to change.

anyway, you must be almost ready for your gig on Sunday. I hope it goes well. hyper

Another wonderful track Tim Smile


I love those bubbling synth lines, and the almost guitar like dreaminess that happens as well.

Just so much texture to experience as always.

Most accomplished Cool

Hey, Mike. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks very much for listening and for the compliments Smile

It took me a while to become comfortable with the idea of mixing 'tron sounds into more modern settings but I think there can be a peaceful co-existence.
