Love it.
the bass is very hypnotic, I was mesmerised, and then the strings come in and I was totally lost.
Beautiful.
Lovely little percussive elements in the background that have a real nice resonance and tone.
I love this.

Production wise, I`d say the kick could punch through the bass a little more in the top end and low mid. But keep the poppy nature of it.
Maybe bring out that percussion a little more, and again give it some more high end activity to couterpoint that seductive bass.

Gorgeous.

AAARRGHH !!

Cant stand it.. sitting here at work seeing that there are posted so many new tunes but I cant listen to em here :doh:

Will have a listen when I get home!

WHOEHOE!!! Im back from work.. ( yeah I know I got a lazy job 1 day a week from 9 till 14.00)

ennieways this is dope..!! have heard notting but dope tunes today!!!

This track reminded me a bit of ruskins style.. got a really strong emotional feeling to it...!!!

Production wise Id say the kick could cut a bit more throug the mix... otherwise its really well done!!

[BloodStar]

gr8 track, man. nice emotional content goin on here, that's for sure. like it a lot,. those synths are sweet and go well with bass, i think. ha, those strings are awesome,. :clap: :clap:
maybe i would go without bass in break,.it would be great to hear just those strings.... maybe some more crazy breaks and edits would be nice,,but just my personal taste..
production part of thing is cool, ithink..maybe that bass could go just a tad lower, and some levels could be mixed little more proper,but that will be solved, and then u go with ****in awesome track. well done :clap:

Thanks for the comments folks!
Glad you like it ;)
Some great valid points made for sure, and I will definetly be breaking this thing up a bit and making it less straightforward very soon... must finish those others first tho!

I'll post it up again after some changes

[Mindful]

Love it.
It does sound a bit like Ruskin realy cool and understated groove the strings are cool too.
Production wise it sounds clean and I personaly like the way the kick sits.

Mucho coolio :clap: :clap:

Pretty special stuff.

Has a beautiful pulse to it, without any particularly rhytmic featuring dominating.

Who says techno has to be driven by a kick?

Warm rolling sub bass and strings, always a winning combination.
