Hey Dan, well, what can be said except that this is a bang-up creative work. From the first seconds, the reverb sound was beautiful and drew me in.  The feel and vibe of the piece has a great groove and the various parts come together in a pleasing way.  Hope you get lots of traction with this -- a great listen.  !!

Great piece, Dan. I also got a mix between Paul Simon, Vangelis with some extras mixed in. Sounds excellent!
All the best.
 




Thanks Ken! To be honest, I thought it was more Genesis meets Paul Simon, lol...
 
Regards,
Dan

I like the creativity and enriched action, including the ear candy soundscape stuff.  Sounds like a lot of work went into it. The bass and drums sound too synth-like and was a bit distracting for me, though.  Just my two cents.    




Thanks Tim! The bass is a fretless with a moog on top, so that probably accounts for the "synthy" bass sound. Not sure which drums you're referring to?

You get the "clarity of mix" award every time. Very well done. Just got to the piano breakdown with the washy reverb clouds swirling - that's just super.
 
I'll open up a can of worms, and say, bass guitar up please. I did get a sense that the mix itself, sparkle though it does, seemed tilted a tad towards the bright elements.
 
Cool musical ideas and very creative as usual, Dan, love your songs.
 
cheers,

Whoa, gotta retract. I was inadvertently listening on my aux computer speakers, they are pretty decent but lack much below 100hz like most cheapie desktop speakers do.
 
I relistened on my proper monitors, and the bass came back nicely!
 
so, nice job!

Okay... I'm into my 2nd listen and I'm with Ed.  Bass is killer Dan!
I'm a synth man so you got me on the synths and the african intro is pretty nice as well.
 
Love your overall sound.  Beautiful and slick; wide and open. 
But that bass! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BASSLINES...
 
Oh and your breakdown is sooo cool.. Giving me some ideas for some of my own tunes.
Song is very inspirational.
Very well done..

Thanks Tom! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and relieved when you followed up with the retraction on raising the bass...was pretty sure I didn't want to do that, lol...
