Thanks!

Agreed.  It gives the song an unpredictable element and a tasty half time feel.  Goes well with the smooth melody line.

Cheated by looking at the comments before listening, hence didn't get tripped up (already had 1 2 3 1 2 3, must be the arp pattern giving the hint), but enjoyed it anyway!
A slight LFO on detune always gets my vote.

Loving the drums here! The little casual snare rolls are so sweet.

Loving the 6/8 man, need more non 4/4 stuff on weekly beats! (guilty candidate)

Thanks! I command you to write a 6/8 or 3/4 track next week big_smile

Yeah this one's a bop. I too was tricked by the unexpected 6/8, such a nice surprise.
Lovely work on the spacious leads too!

Ad that's a really nice comment smile At which point were you surprised by the 6/8? What did you think it was before that?
