    You're songs remind me of my early womances and bromances *80's*  Your sound is the most INoffensive I've discovered It's musically correct, if there's such a genre.

    Thank you David. Or should I say sorry. I tried to choose a good tune to send here but it is difficult as I have already posted here my so called goodish tunes that I have.

    I really like this Kakku. Great groove going on in the verse. It reminds me of Depeche Mode.

    Thank you Daryl but the verse is very simple and a sharp contrast to the chorus section and sounds nothing like DM. So I wonder what you mean?

    i like these synths,
    tho the synth bass line does harken back to 80's era synth tunes....

    this almost has a 'german' element to it, as far as the melodies go....
     
    i kept waiting for the lyric to come in, and it never did.
    that's what's missing from this piece.
    it's wide open for an inspired lyric

    I think you've got the lead synth tone really nailed this time. It's hooky and fun. Nice modulation towards the end.
     
    Props for using some electric guitar along the way, too! I'd encourage you to find more room in your musical pallette towards that end, as you've clearly got the synth layers figured out.
     
    well done!

    No need to Be sorry. I just did not think the verse would sound nice as I myself am not satisfied with it. The chorus is ok imo.

    I really like both the verse and the chorus but the verse drum groove really got me.

    Thank you EmeraldSoul. I did not use a real guitar. Instead I used the Cakewalk''s very nice Sound center's guitar sound. I still can play a bit guitar but not well enough to play without errors.

    Nice groove with some cool melodies, possibly some lyrics might lift it but it works as is Kakku, thanks for sharing.
