hmm, guess not. It's also a crime that I don't have this in my favorites.
I wasn't too fond of this when I first heard it, but I stumbled across it today when I was jogging and now its my favorite from you.
Really like the mix of styles in here, great use of the acoustic instruments and combining them with a fresh electronica style. Intro is really interesting with the guitar strumming, cool drumbeat, and freaky sounding synths lurking on the side. Great drum samples, I absolutely love the well placed glitch FX and bitchrushed parts.
Sax moves very well too, and the way you layer it sounds so nice anf flows quite smoothly. I love the jazz licks which sound quite moody in parts and energetic in others. I could dance and cry at the same time. That doesn't happen often now does it.
I really like the glassy sounding synth that enters at 00:57, it really puts a nice atmosphere around the whole track. And the drop at 1:30 was fucking beautiful.
Acoustic guitars and bass were a nice touch, they really do a good job filling a void when the sax exits. Great sliding licks too, so smooooth. Vocals were quite cool too, I like how you sang in a foreign language (spanish) and had the heavily reverbed vocals flow in the background which gradually automate into a higher pitch sounding a bit like chipmunks. Bells were well sequenced with the fade, good chord placement and harmonization.
perfectly mixed, amazing and super duper interesting from the start to finish, absolutely no criticism and I don't have any suggestions on how you could improve, which is a rarity from me. its truly perfect.
well, i really enjoyed this one, and thought I'd let you know in case you stumble across this page again. Hope you release more tracks like this soon.
peace
