I agree that often less is really more.  It's hard sometimes not to want to fill in empty spaces with "stuff" but the extras can sometimes detract from the whole.  It seems like you've struck a pretty good balance here.  It doesn't sound too sparse, but it doesn't sound too busy either.

Just remember to not space them out too much and you should be good.

Holy smokes, that Moog bass is shaking my bowels! It's cliche to say but Moogs are so fat, it's practically all you need.  The portamento bass lines in the intro are killer. Same with the repeating slow arp lines.  I dares say you could strip this even further down to Moogs, primordial beats and that wonderful lofty higher melody and it would be solid. Moogs fill so much space on their own. I like the very limited percussion accents you dropped in like the clave taps. Cool stuff!

Thanks guys! And many thanks for your detailed ideas and suggestions... I have had a busy week, so I am not sure if I can get more minimalistic for the nex one, but perhaps for the following week I will . Much appreciated. I am not too happy for most of my contributions for the last months, the summer was very busy and I generally have just thrown things together to get something to upload on the Sunday evening... but things are getting better timewise slowly here, so I thing I can get into second gear after a few weeks again.

Those are some great sounds, man. Lots of movement too, love it!
