Two New Tracks ! Film score / Latest Quirky Mix

Hi !
Just finished a couple of new ones and thought would post to try and get some feedback. Film score is quite dark and mysterious,whilst Latest Quirky Mix is a bit off its head !
Please follow the link :)

That is so creative - well done - I really like this.

Latest Quirky mix: apart from the very obvious FX panning it sound very mono but well captured.
 
Film Score: Sounds very much like a film score I am detecting a little bass boom here, but that could just be my control room and perhaps the percussion/drums are a little to upfront, other than that again well captured.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
 

Yes I placed a lot of instruments in mono on the first track. I think the mix might be improved a little if the guitar was in stereo panned hard left and right. I might try that !
For the second track, I can't hear a bass boom on my speakers, I think its OK. As for the drums being too loud is was sort of intentional to balance the dark mood of the melodic parts. I felt it was getting to dark so I tried to give the track more omph using drums and percussion.
Thks for listening !

Excellent work. 
I love the quirky mix.  You really have incorporated some creative sounds in making this number a bunch of fun!
Sound Track sounds exactly like one!  It moves from a feeling of forbiddance and builds to more action sounds.  The end is rather sudden but definitely would end as a climax to a scene.
 

Hey ! Glad u liked the tracks. The quirky one is my fav cos yeah its just fun and barmy ! The film score, I guess it does wat it says on the tin :-)  I'm trying to stir away from Dark tracks but this one the idea came so I had to finish it ! It is wat it is I guess.
Thks for taking time to listen !

Re: Film Score
Those string sounds at the beginning, they stop quite abruptly with a very short release, I think a longer release so they blend insto each other more naturally would sound better.
I liked the percussion, but I don't think it complements well with the other elements, sounds almost like 2 seperate tracks playing together: one dark, one not.  Perhaps some percussive highlights to complement the dark mood would have worked better.

Well spotted for the strings at the beginning. They wud defo be better with a longer release. Not totally sure where u r coming from about the percussion. You mean the whole drums or a specific instrument ? The intention of the drums was to contrast with the music rather than complement it.
Thks for listening !
