Nice! The title fits the mood evoked by the music. What did you use for drums? My ear was wanting the snare to "pop" a little more, a minor tweak. This tune would work well in a Spy/Adventure film!
Nice rig too!

Ah! The sound of Z3ta+ nice, enjoyed listening to this. My only observation is that perhaps the kick could do with some slap if you get my drift. Thanks for sharing Shawn

I like the energy and vibe this gives, adrenaline.
Production is pretty bang on, listening on a laptop cant really comment on the mix, but the kick is pretty inaudible, some more high end punch might help with it.

With a little attention to the percussion, this will be a gem. Nice going, Shawn.

Something kinda cool about this but it needs electronic drums those rock drums don`t give it that low end that it needs to carry it...It felt like you shoulda called it Weightless instead of Under Pressure...LOL JMPO...so it doesn`t mean that much.

BOOM, Heya Shawn :). Cool tune. Yeah, needs more beefy drums, but the rest is so good, you almost forget that :). BTW, did I just see an 8-track tape on your desk?????

Hi Shawn,
I love this kind of music. I tried to do something similar once, but I don't have a knack for it. :( I may post it some time.
The mix is perfect on this. I hear what they are saying about the drums, but they sit in the mix perfectly and I wouldn't have noticed if someone didn't bring it up.
BTW ... I had that 8-track. Can't tell by your pic, but if I remember correctly, I think it's a young Waylon Jennings. Probably wrong. :)

This is cool. Usually I'm right in synch with Vicente's tastes, but I was not as wild about the drum tone, it sounded a little harsh to me, but if you know my history, you know my ears don't hear drums they way everyone else does.
Maybe just a touch or a touch more compression, but pretty cool.
