Wow, cool electro music. I liked the interesting composition and orchestration.
Sounds good

This is a fun grab bag: 80's electro-dance bass and drums, Speak N Spell, an appealing melody on the bell-like lead, and Native American chants. Surprisingly catchy!

The mix is good too. I think I'll have another listen.

Happy Turkey.

i, for one, am sensitive to the fact that it is claimed to be a native american kind of electro music

- Apart from the sampled voice, what is in there the influence from native american culture ?

You're right. To prevent any expectations of this being anything near REAL Native American music, I've added the highly descriptive word "INFLUENCED" to the title. thanks for listening

It has an exotic vibe indeed (Native American or not)
Definitely enjoyable, nice and catchy melodies and hooks

Cheers

I think the last track I heard on here which used that Speak 'n' Spell was one of DrGonzo's dark techno tracks (Linear) from 4 or 5 years ago. This works very well too, but in a much more cheerful/happy way. Nice '80s style bass, reminiscent of Dolby's Dissidents, in fact the whole track has a pleasing '80s vibe.

Good work

Very creative stuff - it truly is a fascinating mixture of sounds, and the Speak n Spell voice is one heck of a lot of fun. I'd agree with seismic1 that it has a pleasing 80s vibe, too. Thanks for posting!

Ahhhh a good review from The Master Frantz...

always a good sign.
the bass was very "dead or alive" influenced.... not suprised YOU picked it up...heh

the speak n spell has nothing to do with native american culture, but you know me....
always in this lab experimenting like the mad scientist i am!!!!

@tim I havent heard any Dr. Gonzo... i must hear his S&S usage! 80's forever man!

@Stiles glad you found the mix of sounds enjoyable. i try to sneak in a bit of unexpected audible suprises in my tracks!
