[track] Merlin McBain - subjective eye

Eric, so glad to know that I'm not the only one requiring a ridiculous amount of time to finish something. A year, eh!?
I had no problems wrapping my ear around this IDM track....as I usually do. Maybe it's all the ambient I've been listening to lately. I loved the panning air-motion synth you had swirling around. The bass synth was a tad sparse...maybe a little thin sounding.
For an IDM project, this had quite a melodious arrangment. The instruments all sounded great together, although many of them had a very 'vanilla' sound that could have benefited from a plug like Camelspace! Very nicely done and a pleasure to listen to!

Great track Eric. Reviewed it at the refugees.

Thanks for listening and commenting all. And DA, thanks for your detailed comments. I actually own camelspace and like it. I sort of wax and wane in my use of mangling and rythmic effects. I'm currently going through a less is more phase, even pulling back on how much I use things like delay.

Nice i love samples with knowledge and stuff. Great listen. Cool synth arps or whatever that is. Very nice. Good levels and balance. I like those shuffle fills. The high pitched instrument at 3:28 was way too up front on my speakers but other than that this is a good listen.
