took me a second to adjust to the slow bpm.
but after a minute it settles nicely.
lovely warm rhodesy pads and swells, nice.
the melodie starts getting a bit old tho. "low.high low high low high low high" etc etc.
maybe some pitch slides would work nice just to smoothen it even more.
try takin the swells out once in a while and replacing them with a soft woodwind sample as a breaker,
then re-introduce the pad swell.
nice to hear something a little more relaxed.
cool track

nice chilled out vibe, sounds a little slow imo, bpm must be set pretty slow for dnb, melodys and pads are a little boring + predictable.
sounds to me like some mixing probs too, volume suddenly up at some points, could do with compression on the sub bass + pads i reckon.
good effort overall tho, defo got a nice vibe to it.

Liking the chilled, old skool vibes in this but it still needs a lot of work on the EQing side of things - but you already said that. Deffo needs a sub boost. Melodies are good enough but not that original. Same with the beats. Yep, a sweet dreamy vocal or two would be perfect for this tune. Decent tune, keep working on it.

This I like.
I dissagree with the others that a vocal is what you need, as in a full vocal sample - that would kill the vibe of this tune. Perhaps some spoken word vocals with a nice delay effect, I have an album called Sounds Good with LTJ and Blu Mar Ten that this track would be right at home at. Its my night-drive album.
Melodies sound fine to me. Beat is near-perfect.
Keep it liquid I like this a lot.
(if you're struggling with finding spoken word vocals pm me and I'll give you some hints!)

Come on people that score is way too low. OK, it's not exactly a dancefloor smasher, but it sounds quite ok. It's a bit too long and could do with a bit more variation and a more clear structure. 2 minutes before a first bass note is really long!
Soundwise its not all that bad.
The drums are to thin and they seem to fighting for room give them more volume.
Those pad structures seem a bit sloppy, I get the impression you should clean out the sound and not play massive loads of pads all the time.

nice laid back track....this is the kinda drum and bass i liked when i first started.the intro seems almost like it dropped into a dnb mix with the fx at the beginning. the melody is a bit repetitive.ahh theres the bass.the melody seems to double up in volume like maybe your delays are doubling .turn down the delay level to rid that prob.the level could also be evened up a touch with a limiter/compressor.set your compressor to ratio 25:1 and your limit to -1db your output to -3.now drop or raise the level of that track as needed. now it should sit nicely in stead of jumping higher in volume.

Defo deserves to be higher than it is.
Good tune overall , maybe mix up the melodies a bit more, sounds good levels seem to be ok.
6/10 for me also

yeah , shit ratings , welcome to drum and bass.be , again these ratings r wrong !!!!!! nice track , a bit too long winded 4 a preview , i must add , but i love this sort of stuff , old style bukem , old skool from the start mate !!!!!!! cant really hear anything wrong in the way of drums n shit , the track needs more , but as u know , thats why its just a preview !!!!!!
anyway , nowa days , all these youngsters want to hear is variation , and cant seem to appreciate a tune 4 what it is , go with the flow , drum and bass is what it is , and if dnb used to sound like this , there should be no problem , lest this style has more feeling !!!!!!!!
