Hi,
 
Hope you like it. Actually I don't know what to call the genre but I think it will be Electro ... something?

Definitely hear the JMJ influences sounds well mixed here, I would be tempted not to mix the drums quite as wide as you have them but that is a personal taste thing.  What toys are you using to create?
 
All in all nice sounding piece, thanks for sharing.

Thx for your insights 
I never thought of the drums as wide. They are panned (maby a bit too much..?) but not widen in any other way.
 
The Toydepartement:
Sonar X3e, controlled by an Alphatrack
Fantom X6, ARP patterns
V-Synth, contoller and keyboard
NI Monark a few of those
NI Absynth, pads
Camel Audio Alchemy, various soundFX
Izotope Ozone5
 
Soundcard: E-MU 1820. I just love the flexible routing.
A bunch of different headphones. (they all have their own character)
Monitor: ADAM A5 + sub
 
I think thats about it for that tune ;)

Greetings! I'm an electronic music producer myself, and I gotta say I'm diggin' the arp sound. I just got on the Monark bandwagon and it's been blowing my mind. SO MUCH CHARACTER!!! :D

I have to echo the sentiments Wookiee posted about the drums being hard-panned(ish). It's nice to have the drums occupying plenty of space in the stereo field, but too much can be distracting. 

Also, I found the drum sounds a bit generic and soft. Sounds like General MIDI drum sounds, which are a few decades out of date at this point. :P Given the recent recontextualization of synth-based music, it creates a strange juxtaposition to my ears. 

Definitely digging the ambient feel, and the mix is on point. Nice track mate!

WOW, Mr fif4..
 
I'm truly astounded! Your ears does not deceive you. The drums (hate to admit that but..) they are outdated GM... as a matter of fact it's TTS-1 std kit! In the light of the plethora of choices that are available at my disposal I can't really say why I fell for that sound?
Well, to my defence: I was trying to mimic the sound of the JMJ, Vangelis era. Not entirely successful obviously ;)

 
Too me it defenetly sound like a remix is needed.
 
Thx
I really do appreciate your constructive criticism.

OT: If you are into JMJ and the likes take a look at KEBU and get inspired.
