13/8 but of course! xD Cheers to 1/4 of the way to 52/8!

I love how well balanced your mixes are. Everything is always so interesting to listen to.

What is the story of that photo? I'm curious how the red green glow on the chest and head happened.

damn that OPSIX is FAT. I'm tempted to pick up a multipoly. I agree with FrogCity, your mixes are excellent.

The photo is a statue in Coal Harbour, Vancouver BC. The hand print on heart is a part of the statue. I'm typically degrading my cover photos to dithered 32 colors for cover art, so I was looking at different exposure and saturation settings. Since I wanted to somehow make that hand print still clearly recognizable, I used more saturation in that area. And once I covered the heart, covering the mind felt appropriate.

Oh wow, what a submission. And now I see a lot of things I really enjoy in your submissions are part of your style, I love it

Very smooth 13/8, feels natural (or I'm already biased). I really like the vocal duality. Great mix, great composition, great drum sounds, great sounds. No notes. 13/8 rating.

I like this song. Compared to last week's effort I think the processed voice adds a good layer of abstraction. It blends nicely into the track.  And it also serves a clear musical function in the track. As always your sound design and mixes are top notch. Big and clear, I both like and admire that a lot. Neat stuff!

If you'll indulge me again in delivering you some feedback.

Compositionally I feel that you ramp down a bit a too much. From 1m40s until 2m45s things quiet down. I think that might be a bit early in the tune, but it's cool. Then things pick up again but that doesn't carry through. It just keeps going up and down the same energy curve until the end. The effect that has, on me anyway, is that it becomes a tad stale. I think the track would have more impact if it kept developing. Growing a bit more intense over time. Get a bit fuller sounding. Increasing the peak after each ramp down.

The second point of feedback I have for you is that I think the 'only one' sample is a bit over used. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome sound and I like it a lot! But I think it's just too much of a good thing. I feel it loses its special-ness by appearing so much. Maybe just replace it with either synth notes without the voice. Or re-harmonize them in a different way. But something that keeps them fresh and special.

Of course this is all just my opinion. So take from it what you will. I did listen to your track now 5 times in a row. So don't take my feedback as me thinking you're doing anything wrong. Because I certainly don't think you are.

Tight!

Tight!

Very relaxing. Dirty sounds with clean mix - lovely combo. The vocoder verses, particularly in the beginning takes me back in time to a breakdance track in the 80s that I think was called Scorpio. Made me nostalgic.

Woah suhweet! The 13/8 drum groove sounds great and had me tapping along.  So many cool percussive and distorted elements to it.  Vocoder fits in perfect with the bass and pads.  Sweet stuttery bits in the outro that bring it to a calming close.  Well done!

Repeating my Laurie Anderson reference from last week's track, gosh I hope you know O Superman. Little bit of Kraftwerk there too, and Yello? I am an association machine today.

FM and vocoder are such good friends and all these sounds are working together in a familiar space. The bass is about as perfect as it can get.

Also, I think the "ONLY ONE" pseudo-chorus is used perfectly. I think it's actually incredibly important alongside the FM and the vocoder to situate this track in a genre and historical space - summoning up those spirits of nostalgia in effect - but then bringing a contemporary feel alongside the character only you can give your songs.

Sorry to be gushing but I think this is a triumph. Alongside last week's track there is a continuous idea here that's really evolving into something massive and wondrous.

Amazing work. Very exciting.

Solid drums, it sounds super punchy. I like a lot the more "industrial" sounds that are in.

Vocals works great.

Well played.

Ooh very cool! Btw your ability to make non 4/4 not feel esoteric inspired me here and I somewhat pulled it off on my latest
