I think the effects on the lead vocal are smearing the lyrics a bit too much. It's a cool sound, and I think sounds good on the non-verbal singing, but I'd like the lead vocal to come through more clearly. This has a strong Howard Jones feel, though modernized.
The other thing that I wasn't crazy about was the way the song starts and stops so much. I was looking for a longer section of development that never came.
It's definitely worth development as it has a cool vibe overall.
Regards,
Dan

Just had a listen to the last mix... I liked it. Smooth vibe with a nice electronic edge, and like Daryl said lots of ear candy. While the lyrics aren't easy to pick out, I did like the vocal effect - I think it fits the feel. And for some reason your voice reminded me a little of Daryl.

Your music always seems polished and professional to my ears. I don't mind that your lyrics aren't out front because your voice is like an instrument in this. Like Dan, I was waiting for another movement to happen, but it held my interest anyway because it is hypnotic to a degree. Keep up the good work!

Very nice comments, thanks Lynn and Steve. Getting the vocals right is a constant struggle for me. Lately I've been trying to emulate R I T U A L or the xx, and obviously I have a ways to go. I appreciate the encouragement.

I'm not a fan of electronica, but I actually liked this, especially toward the middle.
