Any comments/feedback is welcome , I appreciate you taking the time to listen to it!!

Thanks again.

Haha - this is perfect. The sound is spot on. You should collab with Data (a WATMM user who makes music under the name Mitch Murder).

this is great lol I love the retro vibe

great work on this one love the detuned leads

Awesome song! I'm such a sucker for 80s goodness such as this.

wow, hey thanks guy's, I really appreciate the fact you checked it out.

keep em coming! And welcome to WATMM.

Ah, this is great! Love the bassline. And yeah, the detuned lead is excellent.

gave it a listen and very impressed. great track.

Nice. Feeling it ... just my sort of vibe!! Those gated drums are supa fat.

Wonderful vibe; you've nailed the retro production aesthetic and the chord progression is very nice! As a standalone instrumental it works pretty well, though it feels like it's missing a vocalist. I am left wishing that there were more rhythmic or arrangement-related surprises in this one as it progresses for it to work exceptionally well as a standalone instrumental.

Very nice, restrained.

just to say thanks for the feedback, I am glad you guys enjoyed it!

hey garth, cool track. why do i recognize your name? are you in the synthetix group on fb?

Wow, some quality 80's style tunes in here! Bass line is so simple but yet so good. I would like to hear more tracks of this kind.

Someone should cut this particular track on vinyl someday, i can imagine spinning it at some retro party somewhere around 3:00 AM. That would be nice indeed.

yeah i agree that it's got that 80's style vibe, which i certainly enjoy. that sound seems to be having a mini-revival amongst electronic fans.

About fucking time! I've been writing 80s style stuff for years!

hey man, yeh thats me on the synthetix fb - love your stuff too

Ah this is awesome man! I do agree that some washy vocals could fill the sound out a little but I also think that the unvaried drum track holes it together nicely, I think adding variation there would possibly detract from the focus on those lovely synths. Lovely work :)

That was a really fun track. Very well produced.

Damn, this is pitch-perfect. Good stuff. Retro stuff often gets on my nerves but this actually has some depth and you absolutely nailed the vibe.
