I like the intro.

Progresses into something mysterious...

That vocal is just lovely, I usually don't like female vocals in DnB, but this one's beatiful.

Piano is nice, sounds well, good licks without over-doing.

Can't think of more to say really.

Pretty

Yeh, definitely nice tune, added in my chillout session!

Production is very well.

I got an offence for rhytm section.. theres one (even two) patterns whole time.. my opinion is that there should be some more dropdowns / breakdowns.

Atmospheric is Bigup same as vocals and the piano, especially that is solo Cool

yes i totally copied and pasted the drums over and over because this song, if i was a painter, would be a charcoal sketch. i didnt feel like doing all those edits yet cuz i wanted to express big ideas. jus explaining my apparent laziness.
thanks for the comments, peace.

Very nice old skool LTJ Bukem sound. The pads are warm and atmospheric, piano sounds that kick in everyso often add that little xtra.

Only slight quibble i had was the eee sound that comes along with drum sample. It gets quite reptitive, IMO you should try and EQ it out.
Other that than....

Very nice track Smile

some of the reverses are a bit off time, or end too fast although that was the idea maybe

anyway a very nice chilled uot vibe you got here, old skool yet interesting enough. not gonna down the beats programming, as you said it was copy-paste job for this, some nice junglish snare rolls would fit here just perfect IMO.. but I feel the snare could be alittle softer, maybe a nice reverb and cut the high freq-s a bit.

nice piece

good song, yea some change up after the vocals end the first tiem but before than no qualms actually. but yea, it would have been better usited between the voclas and the piano to go durm craaaazy. but not too crazy, there should be part to go crazy near the end of course. i love the drums sound, the snare might be to ticky, but the warm pads have the room the snare would have taken \up if it were phater sounding, about 200-500 right, so it works. she has a deep voice too.

yea the drum pattern is now annoying in the second drop with the vocals, a change would have been better , and if you just changed the loop the rit would have recognized it as a drop better.

aaah, finally no durms. that piano at the end, put that before the drop! that would be more suitable. add's a better contrast to the drop, you could keep the durms teh same at that part also, it also hints to the first drop where you used the piano with the delay before teh voclas. that drop was different though you had a bassline come in to signify the drop.


that's about it, other than that, it's a decent song.

Listening at low volume wile at work...

Intro was a little abrupt, might have brought in a hat or cymbal to start with the ambient strings. Like the vocals, the drumz get a little repetative after the first few min. Love the piano outro! Z

this is actually kind of a preview, guess i shoulda mentioned.
but thanks to those i havent for the comments!
the intro is abrupt because im lazy about it wit previews, nick.
thanks for the lil structure tips halph, ill play around with the drop once i try puttin this in song status.
@cynik, the reverses, they're automatically offtime after you do them and i guess they werent really meant as a rhythm thing so i left em that way.
@ cjstyles, i like the "eee" sound with the break, makes it unique, but as my progress with this song...progresses, i'll try to make it so you'll hear less of it. it is annoying. don't think i don't know it too. Wink
thanks for your minutes of devotion to listening and writing these up guys!

Like the chillness, feeling mellow. Im not a big fan of just starting out a track with beats right of the bat, think its good for some styles, but this one def needs that piano from the end part....at the beginning maybe with some sliced vocals as a build up to the drums. I would also like to hear the first break a little longer maybe with some more sliced, delayed, faded vocals into so more layered drums. I dunno if chill tracks are suposed to stick with the ambience for the whole thing? It could sound cool with slight alteration of the pads and the bass.. but just slightly imo...now that I think about it I dont think that would work since the piano is so definitive in this one... I dont really know this music that well yet so prolly be best to listen to others before me neways I like the feeling it gives me.. keep it up peace hombre
