nice to see you coming out with something once again ;) In this track, your drums seem to flow well and have a good consistency, which I believe some of your earlier tracks lacked IMO. so good job with this one. The overall vibes here don't have your trademark asian overtones, but still have that soft ambient, relaxing feel so I can hear your personal sound in here regarding the collab. as a whole, I don't think its your best- but mainly because its roughly under-developed and unfinished.
I do like this for it what it is tho. All the instruments meld together rather well to make for some cool harmony, Looks like you got a thin-guitar/plucky thing in the rhthym section with a juicer plucked synth in the lead, I like those melodies. Keys are decent, and the lush string pads move nicely in the background. Panning the instruments more might help your mix sound a little less uncluttered. Drum beats like I said above have a good flow, hi hats open and close smoothly, almost sounds a bit hip hopish. Bass kick is nice and boomy, tho it might be cool to use a subkick or EQ more subbass and fill in a lower tone in the string pad to increase the warmth in this track. I like how you sequenced the second half, with taking out the lead pluck and giving room for the new string melody, and then end it with combining all the instruments. I just think you could work in an actual ending, and build a better transitioning section then the instruments suddenly ending and the solo bass kick.
Despite it being an unfinished product, this is a swell done job here wyldfyre! keep on keeping on!
