Hi. This is my latest tune. I used Sem V and Analog Player among other synths, although I usually have trouble finding good sounds from them. It might be because I used headphones for listening. For some reason I like the sounds from them more then the sound I get from my speakers. I welcome comments.

I liked this immediately! 
 
The synth choices are very well chosen. The bass, for my taste, could have a little more activity, something more than just the three note figure over and over. Get your bass finger chops out and improvise it up!
 
The drums seem very distant in the first half of the tune, maybe bring up snare a lot, kick a little, and hi-hat a little.
 
cool tune!

Thank you Tom. I will try to fix the drums and bass. I used for drums in the verse part just one sample and in the chorus I added SI drum synth.

The first 11 seconds of this caught me immediately -- moody and funky.  What a great opening to a vocal song that would be.  The synth part after that ruined that mood for me -- did not like that sound.  That said, after that, you had some really interesting sections and rhythms going -- as usual with your material.  And as usual, I again wonder why you don't find someone to collaborate with -- geez, you're in Finland right? -- must be lots of synth based songwriters there? -- someone to put down some vocals over your commercial sounding tracks.  !!

Thank you Allan for the nice words. I know nobody who could sing my stuff and my current material is not best suited to be sung imo. Here is anyway the hopefully fixed version of this tune.
I modified the verse somewhat and mixed and added drums etc.

Pleasant tune, though I would echo some of Tom's comments.

I listen the other day but for some reason the comment I made seems to have failed to stick.  This has your sound all over it Antti, this version sounds a little more complete than the one I heard earlier, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Phil. I can try better the mix but the bass pattern is difficult to me. I used Cakewalk's zeta+ for the bass in the chorus.

Hey Antti - this is really cool stuff!  sounds really good!
 
 I only listened to version 2, not the original.  very good synth work!

Thank you Wookie. Imo the verse is the weakest link in this case although usually my choruses are the weakest link imo. When i improved the verse a bit i noticed that it became less compatible with the chorus imo. I have also the problem that when i listen to my stuff enough times i really don't want to keep fixing the same tune for a long time.
