The intro was a bit long for me with just the sparse beat and vocal samples, but that's subjective of course.   The actual "sound" of the drums reminded me a little of In the Air Tonight.   But when the pads started coming in around 2:00 and began slowly building up it had enough to keep me interested, through the "breakdown" around 5:00 and of course the clean guitar during the end section.

Believe it or not In The Air Tonight was my justification for using such a simple, repetitive beat (or perhaps Mama?) with such a lo-fi sound! I may shortern the intro though.

Ha!   That is pretty cool though... always loved that song for what it is. 

Fun!

My daughter said it's like abstract art.

I enjoyed that - I really do like the vocalist.

I liked the vocal/intro build. Cool the way you brought her voice from back to front. I also liked how the vocals atmosphere seemed to narrow and widen when brought up front. after the intro, it kinda started to wonder off looking for a place to go, but then started to collect when the the guitar come in. Interesting and enjoyable post.
 
Best regards,

Yep, letting hang out you are.
 
Where's the fire!
 
I like the way this is arranged, just when I start to stray, you add something to bring me back.
 
The guitar at 6 min is cool.  I don't think I've ever heard you play guitar before.
 
way to go homes.
 
I like the direction your heading!

That's one way of putting it!

Thanks Markus, it's one of the few free vocal samples that I've collected over the years that is actually any good. I still have no idea how I managed to set the right tempo for it, because it was a straight wav with no tempo info and I usually dick around for ages trying without success to match tempos (without resorting to quantizing etc).

Thanks Dean, glad someone noticed the up-front-widening effect! I enjoyed doing that. 

I don't know that I would call the drums muddy but I definitely would not call the guitar work sloppy.  The tempo is slow but it hits a nice groove and you have a series of changes that keep one's interest.  The build-up as the song proceeds is very nice and I really like the long fade at the end.
 
Nice one!!!
