I can picture this working so well as a surreal dream sequence, where somebody falls asleep on the train and falls into a jazzy, existential uncertainty (I think I may have been influenced by your Lost Highway comment).

Great driving bass.  It combines really well with the train samples to really feel like you're traveling on a locomotive.

I like this jazzy feeling coming from this running bassline the drumrolls and the sax. The train motive gives it a cinematic aspect, like something very urgent is happening there. The gif fits very well. Nice job.

Yeah, that clarinet is sweet.  Always loved hearing woodwinds played like that.  Love the train sample under the whole thing too, gives this track a lot of energy.

Def hearing that Lynchian influence.  The bassline, clarinet and sax especially give it that dark jazz feel.  The drum rolls added a nice touch too.  Like something's about to go down on that train

I'm on the train! Funny I talked about software release train in meeting earlier today. This should have been playing in the background. Make the meeting way cooler. Great swinging groove, there's something perfect about walking basslines. And that clarinet, good find! Nice work

The train sounds worked perfect, baseline is funky, awesome use of the samples you mentioned, can hear the influence of Lost Highway or even reminded me a bit of early 2000 DJ Food.

These cinematic tracks are so sick. Love the eeriness in this one

Thank you! That's a nice comment. This track has that weird slightly off feeling.

Thank you!

Thank you for the comment!

Right? What a treasure of samples you can find on Splice. That helps to find good playing that uses the specificity of the instruments, with a natural feel, which I could not get by programming it.

Thank you! I love Barry Adamson and his dark jazz music, which made it into some Lynch movies.

Thank you for the nice comment!

Thank you!

I like how woodwinds/brass have that beathiness that can imply a lot of different atmospheres. Thank you!

It's really cool how the train sounds play close to the beat established by the bass. the train isn't always in time or aligned perfectly to the beat, which lets it feel more like a scene than "just" another part of a song.

the frantic brass solo was great - excellent atmosphere with the train.

I have really appreciated the cinematic touch you're putting into a lot of your work this year
