I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if needed, just ask.

75 BPM, C-minor. Traditionally, Analog Rytm with its hybrid TR-707 kit. Vocals pitch-corrected with Melodyne and harmonized with the Ableton Live vocoder. Revstar rhythm guitar and solo, distorted with Guitar Rig 7. Iridium provides the rest.

This is gorgeous. The opening with the ethereal vocals is chilling, and when the guitar comes in the whole thing takes flight. I'm not usually a slow-song person, but this one pushes a button not many do.

I'm REALLY loving this more introspective piece, this rules!!! Super duper pretty! I'm especially enjoying The vocals here. Damn, you really struck something fantastic with this. Great job!!!

This is awesome, really enjoying hearing more guitar from you, and so well utilized. This track feels huge and shines just as much in the calmer, drumless section as it does when things ramp up. Both the softer, lower guitar at the beginning and the searing leads later serve the song perfectly.

Love how you're processing those vocals. Everything sits together so well. Different, forward thinking, and still timeless and retrospective. Well done

Very cryptic, but the synths and guitar are clear as day

really nice work, rplktr. the vocal and guitar solo sit just right over this intricate foundation! there is a great texture to the mix, it's almost physical.
i'm assuming you're still rocking the 5 string set up? i'm curious if it feels more intuitive to you when playing leads in that tuning as well?

This is an absolute triumph for your vocal endeavours, they sound amazing. Guitar and the warm synthscape really meshing beautifully too, and that feedback at the end! Fantastic.

whoaaaa, these vocals are outstanding. Your drums are always so tasty 80's and so much more complex than my drum work. Are you a drummer?! What do you use to program your drums? Standing ovation over here man!

Agree the vocals sound great, love the idea of harmonizing with vocoder, great idea. everything sounds super really, excellent mix and production! creating a great mood here.

This sounds so good, everything is mixed so well, the vocals are the star on this one, only feedback I got is I wish it was longer, after that last drone of the guitar I was hoping for it to kickstart again.  Beautiful track, easy enough to just hit rewind.

Great processing on the vocals! The guitar sits perfectly in the mix. Really well balanced arrangement, there's a lot of strength in the restraint. Nice one!

Amazing as always! The vocals sounds great and the drums are just perfect smile
