    Shawn, I had to put my headphones on for this.  I liked the way the bass synth bounces back and forth between the channels and the clarity of the mix.  It really came to life for me.  As always, good job, and keep em rolling.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    I always love evolving downtempo synth music.  Very nice!  Do you mind sharing which synths/patches you used?

    The bass that Lynn likes was Z3TA+1 C 014 "Arping against the wind" another great bass part was the "NEXUS 2" patch "AR AFterMidnight" The NEXUS 2 really has some wonderfull sounds I recommend trying it!

    Not my genre but pretty cool man!
    Really moody and I like the melodies.
    I think the bottom end could use some punch, but again, not my genre and jmo.

    Cheerz!

    Hey, Shawn,
     
    Very cool track with nicely textured synths and a primal sounding rhythm in a classy, clean sounding mix!
     
    Great stuff, buddy, keep 'em coming!  Have a Rockin' weekend!

    Nice stuff Shawn as always, but that Zeta patch could come up a tad perhaps some creative EQ to bring out more.  I can hear it on cans but gets lost on the Events.
     
    Thanks for sharing

    hey downtempo is pretty much my favorite genre and this tune is nice
    i guess my only complaint is that it was too short and that i wanted more of the groove starting around the 2 min mark
     
    well done!
