Hey everyone, ive got a new tune that is very nearly finished, could do with some feedback and direction with where to go with it next... how i could improve the flow of the song, and the mastering maybe.
its very much a melodic piece, kicks in around the 2 minute mark and gets a bit heavier from there.
sleep easy
i'm happy with it but theres something about the flow of the song that needs some work i think... maybe some bits adding/moved around or something. cheers for listening!

i enjoyed your last release and i can see some improvement in the sound here, sounds a bit warmer and more variations which is good to hear. with fresh ears, i can say it's a good track. my only cirtisism is that you do use lofi synths like very basic analogue ones, which is fine, i guess it's your style, but i could imagine you using more modern hybred synths and getting some nice textures for a richer sound. But if that's your style then it's cool, it works well anyway, so keep producing.

thanks larn! i'm a big fan of older sounding synths, the bleepy kind. especially the SID chip from c64s. the filters and lfo's on my sidstation can do some really crazy stuff- i love it.
i totally get where you coming from with adding texture with more modern synths. do you have any good software or hardware synths that you could recommend? i'm always on the look out for new ones to mess about with.
also do you have the link to your stuff so i can have a listen, i must have missed them in the past- i tend to lurk more than post
nice one

that secondary synth sound at the start is controlled in a sloppy and unmusical way.
drums are dead. need work, possibly replacement samples.
the track has an uninteresting structure. chord and lead progressions seem to lack something, perhaps musicality. same could be said for transition between soundscapes - somewhat forced. my grandad once said to me "I like a song that tells a story". Of course, he didn't know what he was saying, but he was onto something.
there's a lack of space between instruments (arguably of course).
ultimately, it needs more production, and then it will be what you want it to be. though if squarepusher himself produced it, i wouldn't be swayed into thinking it's any good.
