    Nice sketch my brother.
     
    My take away,
     
    1.  Pull way back on the synth lead, it is overwhelming,
    1A, the rhythm guitar is too good, bring it out.
    2. timing issues on the guitar lead.  Play with your nudge keys, get that bad boy in there, and then mix it out every now and then.
    3. Get someone to sing to this, or write lyrics.
    4. Drums are repetitive, but I get it, it is a good beat to jam to.
    5. The length is perfect, but it seems long because it uses many of the same themes over and over, this could be fixed with vocals and arrangement.
     
    Excellent effort.  Will you take this further or move on to the next project?

    thanx Jesse Screed, spot on observation...I agree with all except I never considered the vocal possibility. I looked for this old (2009) project and realized I deleted it...when I got a new computer with win10 and sonar pro...bummer cause I wanted to try and redeem it,,, no worries I'll make a new one with impovements from your suggestions thanx again..

    I think Jesse pretty much summed up what needs to be said about this, had to reach for the volume control as that lead synth nearly ripped the furry lugs off.  Listen closely to that lead it is almost talking to you, hinting at the lyric.
