Good ambient sounding intro, the ping pong sample and the traffic effects work well under those strings. The filter on the horns building up to the drop is nice, but I think the opening wobbly bass lets it down a bit when the tune finally drops.

At this point (1m15s onwards) I'd recommend turning down the ping pongy percussion sample as it's a bit too crunchy and stands out against the rest of the mix. Vocals and piano are nice, again complimenting the atmosphere that you've built up through this. Wobble again lets it down a bit as it sounds out of place, but thankfully you've kept it to a minimum in the tune.

Not too keen on the outro section, it detracts a lot from the head nodding energy that has built up, but the way you've manipulated the elements of the tune outgoing is sound enough.

(What's with the massive empty tail of the tune?)

Thanks for listening man. This actually started out as a potential 1-2 min intro song for an album I've been working on, but it's escalated to what you hear now. I'm going to go in and take out necessary elements and repetitive drops. I'll re-post on this thread. (the tail is just me accidentally exporting empty space)

As Mr wub said on the ping pongy percussion.

Think you got some nice instruments in there, got a real nice vibe to the tune you know and for me if a tune has the right vibe your half way there already.
Also it looks like i'm making a habbit of agreeing with wub but I thoroughly agree on the wobble. I reckon for me, i'd like to see a low passed reese instead of a wobble. Just think it would compliment the rest of the tune far better.

For me I think it's got a good bass and with a bit of tinkering you will be onto a winner.
Abstrakt.

Something TOTALLY different. Really enjoyed this badboy and the melodies.
