Broken

A programmed beat, a pulsating bass line, acoustic drums and acoustic guitar.

Given more time I would probably have re-recorded both the drums, that I recorded before the structure of the track was set, and the guitar part, that was a bit too quickly recorded and therefore have a generous amount of noise.

Right now I feel that this track probably could use some more structure, but it's getting late, so a complete rearrangement is out of the question right now.

Kind of boomy/muffled (or perhaps my ears have gone out). Something very nice in there; remix might be in order.

Definitely some potential here.  Sets a mood nicely.  Kind of agree with Jim though.  The mix is quite muffled sounding.

Thanks guys.
You have a very good point regarding the muffled sounding mix. I made some last minute mixing decisions that in retrospect didn't help an already quite muddy mix much.

I think muffled is sometimes good. It's a cool thing that we do this kind of music, it can sound however we want, there aren't rules.

Hey really dig this - something mechanical and austere about it .. like an ornamental mechanical horse or something big_smile

I dig this and I like the murkiness of it. Nice!

i think this track has a great style! The bass line and the acoustic elements work together perfectly! Astonishing work!
