    This is your niche shawn.
     
    Movie electronic instrumentals. Builds nicely and could easily be the driving scene of batman in his batmobile.
     
    I listened to your other tune also, which has plenty of energy and punch. Well done.
     
    Your next stage is to get some vocalists on board some of these tracks, pref a delayed female one, should work with this one even.
     
    Regards,

    I liked what I heard, but unfortunately, since it didn't seem to buffer like youtube for example? I couldn't really listen to more than a minute. My Internet "sucks." and ideally I need to play, and then pause and let it buffer. But even with the halting, it sounded pretty good. Evocative of some epic clash.

    it sounds good, really nice vibe but some instruments are really wet and the tail was a bit too high. otherwise it sounds good.
     
    the balance is pretty damn good, i can hear each instrument very clearly and where it's setting in the mix. yet some instruments were lacking presence.

    My friend Pat brought his guitar over and I don't get to do to collaborate much but we did last night here is a re-named version of "The Quest" called "The Quest on Fire" with added guitar parts...do you think they add or take away from the song...I like both versions...

    Nice and dark! (Quest On Fire) I kept visualizing exploring a distant red planet on foot as I was listening to this.  I might have like to hear the key change for some movement instead of the long vamp, but that's just me.  Good work Shawn.

    Cheers!

    Yes, this journey is definitely worth taking. Where's the movie? Let's get some starlets and action heroes and build a flimsy plot around this great song! Guaranteed millions.
     
    great mixing, appreciated the balance and the theme movement from beginning to end.
     
    cheers,

    Good one, Shawn!  I like the buildup on this.  It would be interesting to hear what could become of some of your tunes were you to add some vocals to the production.  Either way, you have your niche and you do it well.

    All the best,

    I listened to Quest On Fire first.
     
    Now that I've listened to the Quest, which is a great track as it is, I'd be tempted to create a 50/50 Quest with the On Fire bits coming in half way through...

    Thanks Lynn very much & synkotron your probably right because I was going to keep both versions for my www.soundtraxxmusic.com music library but the ultimate would probably be the inbetween as you suggested...Thank You! -Shawn Lee

    Wow--this is great!  I agree with some of the others....some vocalist or at least oohs and aahs in parts of it would be cool. But it's really good the way it is!
