Some down tempo mash-up action here, 90 degree turns, nonsense and impossible combinations. Small target audience methinks!

Ok, ultra-small target audience!

I think this may just be too ridiculous and personal for most people to get in to, but it was something I had to get out of my system...

Thanks Allen - I figure this makes you one of the weirdest people I know!

I think it sounds very much like a Madder than you track! It does go some strange places but like BB said, they're places I wanted I wanted to go!
Thanks

I enjoyed it, Poly. Emotional and forlorn beginning with a wildly exotic second half. Stays interesting through out. A little untypical for you in arrangement, but branching out to new directions is a great thing.

The first part is gorgeous. Calm and timid, yet dramatic, great soundtrack stuff. Lovely little things going on before it goes into the part with the far away drums. The part with the drums reminds me of something but I can't figure out what until I hear that track again heh. Towards the end it gets a bit too much for me, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad, eh?

None too surprisingly I love this song.

I would offer one suggestion I know you won't take me up on:

BP on the first lead. It doesn't fit well with that astonishingly beautiful wax cylinder piano sound

This is my new favorite of yours. Some really cool sounds & treatments in here- that odd vocal bit, the backwards strings, the weird synth that comes in around the 6:20 mark... I could go on. Really just a great track all around.

Thanks Justin - I'd be happy to sound like Madder Than You any day of the week!

Thanks Jazzy, I think I'm talking the first faltering steps in a different direction, more a passenger at this point.

Yeah, I'll take that! Thanks core!

That lead is the achilles heel of this track. I'm glad you picked up on it's misplaced nature. My first mixes had it sounding like a screaming guitar - ultimately I couldn't really find a sound I was happy with and left it the way you hear it. I really want to retry this track tho, so I think after my current one I'll go back to it. Thanks for the feedback and advice runny!
