    This sure takes a lot of twists and turns! I think it would make a great film score.

    Hi kev,  a really like the arrangement.  I suggest more stereo imaging with the pads and strings.  I hear some left and right field parts but overall, this could sound bigger and wider without too much tweaking at all.  Love the bass part   bom bom bom....

    I love the edgy feel to this.
    I agree with Rimshot though - it sounds a bit narrow.

    This is dark and edgy for sure, and quite a good job of programming.  I agree with widening the mix, but otherwise this is cool.

    All the best,

    Very reminiscent of some of the more jazz influenced Drum and Bass artists like LTJ Bukem:

    I love the contrast of the intricate drum programming and laid back jazz feel.

    Kev,

    I think if you widened the sound stage , found a better place on stage for the percussion , moved a few things around and then adjusted the  level  of  the strings ,   .

    You would have a super hip and slick modern sounding Noir.

    all the best,

    Kenny

    Not an imitation at all. This is dark, cool Jazz at its best. I just wish it had have been a bit longer as the music was really drawing me in. Great orchestration and the mix sounded fine to me.

    Very creative. I like that you are willing to explore.
