I was pleasantly surprised by the sudden fat clap that came in towards the end.

Sounds to me like how they thought the future would sound in the 80's. Cool! I also liked the 'acid' synth. The thing I'm missing a bit is a more driving bass line, but that's also a matter of taste!

Thanks very much for listening and commenting, Chris. Glad you liked it

One of these days, I'll escape the '80s. Maybe

Nice work Tim! Like the bass thingy. Like the Gated synth thingy. Like the pulsing synth thingy. Like the chimes as well. There is a lot to like about this track! Flows beautifully. Well done

Want to echo other people's comments on the contrast between the menacing bass and lead lines.

Superb

really cool synths! Makes me want to check out the list you put up of what was used. I liked that bass patch a lot too. Wonderful work.

then, when it's kicking it conjures up driving imagery. when the kick leaves, maybe it's a stop light, or a fork in road where a decision must be made. altogether.. very cinematic.

as always, the interplay of notes is quite interesting.

cool!

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and comment, mrblitz. Glad you liked it

It's interesting that my tracks draw so many comments related to driving. If I were smarter, I'm sure I could use this to my advantage

I had one clap out on its own here, before the change-up in the percussion. I was wondering whether to take it out or leave it alone. In the end I left it in.

I kept the bassline simple as this is essentially a minimalist track, but with quite a full sound, and over the years, my electric bass playing regressed to a fairly minimal style. I think that spilled over into/infected my electronic music.

That bass patch is a factory preset from GTG K1.3. It's an awesome synth.

Final bump before my acid bath

whoa instant trip back to the 80s i love the sounds. I like the dark tones and sound in this which sort of give it a very mysterious edge! This would be perfect for a thriller/mystery movie from the 80s or even now!

Good work as usual

i recall a tj hooker episode with an aspiring young dancer, who had to work in a "dark" and "shady" night club, where all she did was arty dancing to 80s electronic music, the poor thing... anyway i think this track would have fit this episode perfectly!

it's a great track and the mix is excellent, too (like always)!

That was probably me, before one of my "lifestyle" events

I'm building a profile of you. T.J Hooker, Knight Rider.......

I know what you did in the '80s

Thanks very much for the listen and the comments, astrochimp. Glad you enjoyed it
