Thanks for listening and for your comments Daren!

This is some great meditation music for me! I enjoy relaxing and meditating at times and this provide a great ocean feeling breeze like atmosphere that puts my mind in a meditation mood. I enjoyed the music!!!

Thanks so much for listening and for sharing your experience 1tmack!

Hi, Walt,
 
Very cinematic sounding piece of modern electronica with a nice variety of well textured synths, an eerie vibe, and a clean, full sounding mix!
 
Really good stuff, it sounds great!
Bob
 

Walt,
 
Thanks for checking out my stuff and the compliments man, I do like pop!
 
I think extending and adding a few instruments/b section is a good idea to develop it further but more so to package it better (away from the pop realm)
 
Ive never sold my music so I have no experience bro!
 
Keep up the production chops

What a wonderful piece of music. Hugely evocative and mood-shifting, your ability to paint a deeply meaningful sound-scape is electrifying, drawing the listener into your vision of a world of oceanic beauty. Love it.
 

@Bob - Thanks for listening and for your comments.  I'm glad you like it!  Also... greetings from SE PA!
 
@Cian - Thanks again for your follow-up.  I've been working on updates to a different track that I hope to unveil here soon, which quite a different style, but I do plan to get back to Neptune's Oceans at some point in the not too distant future and add a few things into the pot to see what kind of (non-poppy) stew can be made of it. :)
 
@Malcolm - Thanks for taking the time to listen and for your glowing comments!  Ambient electronica isn't for everyone, but I'm heartened to know that some people (including you and I, apparently) do really connect with it.  I still love a good "verse - chorus - bridge" song, but as the years pass I find myself more and more often gravitating towards less structured, more ambient sorts of music that are less like "songs" and more like "soundscapes".  I hope to make more of this kind of music in the future.

I'm glad this thread got bumped because I skipped over it when it was first posted. And I'll admit why: you called it "electronica". I just don't like most electronica. The bulk of the genre consists of tedious drones, automated arpeggios, drum machines on autopilot, squashed and submerged in a reverb bath. The musical equivalent of boiled cabbage.
 
There needs to be a new word to describe electronic music that's NOT boiled cabbage. Whatever such a new category might be named, I think Neptune's Oceans qualifies for inclusion.
 
Yes, there are some noticeable artifacts in the beginning. I'm not sure what it is, perhaps a click being propagated by reverb. I'd zoom in on it and try to determine what it is, and perhaps automate it out.
 
A suggestion for adding some interest: keep the percussion but inject some unexpected percussive ear candy here and there. Something either very deep (e.g. orchestral bass drum) or bright (e.g. triangles, finger cymbals). Tablas or bongos might go well with the sitar theme. Whatever you stick in, make it brief and unexpected and panned out of center, in contrast with the steady rhythm that's already there.

Bitflipper nailed it again!
 
 

@bitflipper - Thanks for listening Dave, against your initial instincts.  And thanks for your kind comments and suggestions about the music.  I agree.
