Great track! Your voice becomes a litle "blured" sometimes and could perhaps stand out a little more. The singing really lifts this song. The constrast of the distorted rythm and the warmth of the singing is working well. Its very orginal as always - And you may ask a little much of the listner sometimes, but its newer boring. Very well done in my oppinion!

Guess I'm not the only one who got inspired by the new release In general, this is a good piece. However, probably not one that will go onto my Best of QBical CD. I like the contrast of the dirty hihats and the clean rimshot/snare(?). However, my first impression of the drums was what the f**k. Now I know you're always out to surprise the audience. But here I get the impression you're not quite aware of where you want the track to go. Should it be a calm ballad/ambientish tune, or the next breaks/electro/triphop anthem? Maybe a bit too much effect seeking with the drums in other words, especially considering the calm nature of the track in general. They do create an interesting contrast, but the drum effects made this track a "do not listen to when trying to relax" in my book. I also think there might be a bit too much reverb going on at times, too many things that echo around in the background. This might also be a reason the vocals sound a bit muddy at times. The vocals though where better then I expected, even if autotune helped Some more practice and we might get the next Robbie Williams out of you So, what I'd do is simplify the drums a bit. In other words take away at least some of the retriggering effects of the snare/rimshot and some of the off-beat hits of the kick. Make it more like something you could actually tap your feet to without feeling like you've got a spasm. I'd also try to bring out the vocals a bit more, maybe by making them a bit dryer. That might bring another good contrast to the somewhat "wet" background.
