 I would also recommend work to improve the drums/percussion. 

Thanks for listening Robby! In what way do the drums/perc not work for you? Truly would like to know...
 
Best Regards,

Hi Dan,
 
I found this track late last night (CET) yesterday and really liked it. Listening the 2nd time today, it sounds even better... great!
I think that simple 4 on the floor kind of beat works fine here.  It leaves space for all the other elements. 
That violin sneaking in towards the end of the track is awesome!
 
Keep on keepin' on,

That's a nice breezy, upbeat tune Dan. Reminded me of China Crisis a little. Melodic and interesting, plenty of details to keep the interest up.

Thanks James! Appreciate the comments, and I still listen to China Crisis...lol.

Great stuff Dan!  I'm trying to learn more about EDM, ambient, etc. and Gypsy Dream is an inspiration to me.  Your textures and transitions are smooth as silk.  I also love your understated driving beat as well as the organic sounding violin leads.  Awesome!
 
I've been playing around with Omnisphere lately.  It's a beast!  It will need some serious taming, but I see a huge potential there.  Gotta keep trying to get my head around it. :)

Really like this Dan.
Did someone mention China Crisis? What a great band...

lovely hypnotic song. I really dig the female vocals who really create a "dreamy" feel!

Thanks Walt! Omnisphere is great. It's the first VST that would ever make me even consider going soft-synth only.
 
The violin is a Kontakt library that I fed through an amp to give it some grit, then ran through a chorus and delay. Tried to get that Jean-Luc Ponty sound. Thanks for the comments on the transitions; that took days of mixing and tweaking to get smooth. Glad it turned out well.
