It has an insistence to it that just kind of bores its way into your head in an awesome way.  I especially liked the little section that begins around 1:21.

I really like the spacey chords that come in just after the minute mark, it really elevates the vibe. Nice work!

Cosmic, thank you!  "Insistence" is a great word for it, I love that.  The very original idea that started this, with the beginning "da-da-dut-da, da-da-dut-da" sound was that I was trying to mimic a news-report tele-type, ya know, NPR news story sound-track.  So yes, insistence!

A-Cow, thank you also.  I went back and forth on the spacey chords!  Because they really don't fit in, and they're sort of off the beat, but I like that they are sort of unexpected and weird.  Glad I left them in now!

very micro and cool - love the panning

Like how this builds even with such a minimal sound. Then what feels like downtuned or pitchshifted notes in the section second half. Really cool when the panning scan comes in, bring the track to life and adds space

CANNOT. STOP. DANCING.

love those FM synthy chords after the 50%!

FEEL FREE TO SQUEEZE OUT A NONSENSE TRACK TOMORROW

Thank you, Drew! I really went back and forth on those chords.  Cuz they don't really "fit" but also that's why I like them.  And I didn't make the week 3 deadline. Music and WB are important to me, but I have to be true to my zine-self. I put out 3 new zines this week, and had friends in town for the weekend!  But I'll post something for week-four.
