Nice sounding synths.
 
Certainly a creative piece.  The drums kinda stick out to me as not quite in the same groove with the music. But don't ask me what would make them fit properly..... maybe something more like Storm drums ...massive.
 
All said, I did actually enjoy this listen even though it's far from my normal listening fare in genre.

I like the drums on the quick part,but during the slow part I agree they need to gel better with the groove.
 
Glad u enjoyed the listen,appreciate you giving it a go :)

Very cool yet again Kev

Sounds a bit Bond soundtrack-ish, especially the big strings.  It's a bit avant garde, but I like this one a lot!  I enjoy the weird rhythmic juxtapositions.

Yep,Avant Garde,I suppose it's something like this :) But um shaken Avant Garde and not stirred !! Thks for listening

Creative stuff Kev, I think I get what you were going for, there's loads of tension between the drums and the orchestral parts (very nice sounding samples btw)

Yep I wanted tension in the piece,thats why I went for the mad hectic drums on the verse - it sorta works well against the slow parts of the orchestra.The middle (or break) Im still not sure about.Maybe to much reverb on the strings,and I also I put a huge pre-delay on the strings of about 100 ms - I think it makes it sound a bit out of time in places.Still,its nice to try something different ! Thks for listening
