Hope it's relaxing enough hehe

Yes, very relaxing

Guitar sample sounds nice, the track doesn't really build up to much but why should it, it's chillout

This is a really nice concept, but there seems to be some out of tune sounds in this. Anyways catch me on msn so we can get in more details about it. But beautiful melodies in this.

Thanks all.

you probably mean the guitar a bit david, because some sounds from it are from a real guitar, so it's not 100% Synced.

anymore ?

Nice track, very chill somehow it remainds me of BT.
This is the perfect track for :
1. Sleep
2. Give/recieve a massage
3. Make love
4. Study

Love it !
Keep them coming

Amazing work guys, really enjoyed giving it a listen!
Very relaxed and chilled tune, there are a few thing which got my attention though:

First, your percussion sounds abit dry and flat, a simple breakbeat pattern with some layers of hats just isn�t enough in those kind of tunes. Maybe by adding some more FX to them you can give the percussion a more of a flowing feeling if you know what I mean, make them sound warmer. Also it would be nice if you could add some more drums and percussive elements to make the whole thing sound more variable.

The pad at 5:20, 5:30, 5:45 sound kind of distorted to me, messes the quality of the whole mix, which is a shame because everything else is ultra smooth.

The guitar sample is a nice and original idea but at times it sound abit off, like its not going well with the beat.

Other than that, its beautiful chillout, keep up the good work!

Thanks for liking this everybody

quality of the beats and bass are excellent, as always !!!!
a little too much reverb on the bass pad
and remove a little delay on the guitar, and some notes might be off i dunno, or maybe its just colliding because u put two notes at once and thats no good
ok so thats all i gotta say , keep it up man
greats basses

did you do the vocal yourself fahad? its awesome

i agree with DJ-Kreing^^ on the percs as well as on the guitar. the percs sound somewhat dry. and the guitar is not completely sync. but you mentioned that yourself earlier

other then this i really dig this. very enjoyable melodies! i'll definately listen to this more often. you impressed me again fahad (altough others helped you )

thanks John , Ron, en Kreing.

well hehe, the guitar when i made the melody with a reason sample from the bank, Alygos suggested that we could make it better if we had someone play it with a real guitar.

so 3 sounds layerd, and the last 1 is not 100% synced, we did our best, but i don't think it's really that annoying.

Ya breakbeat isn't really fancy but i guess that day will come hehe.

I like the plucky synth a lot. Some nice chilly breaks in here as well. Some sounds seem a bit too preset-ish and ripped, feels like they dont fit together sometimes. That 'aah' sound is getting on my nerves after a while.

Nice ideas, but to me it's a big mix of many sounds put in some track.. so it still needs some work imo.

Scrap the guitar and begin anew.

Posted by ProjecT Cali on Nov-24-2004 21:06:

wow...i really like this track...but it is not perfect one i think...i islike this melo played on the guitar but its sound is really good..
3:30 - this is what i am talking about great synth/guitar connected with good rated reverb...awesome moment from there begins
5:01 - nice comeback to the main spirit...

to sum up I must say that it's nice sounds and idea great...but there is something missing for me:/...sorry....If i had to give a mark I would give 8/10 i am looking forward to see your nexx Chillout production...greetz..

sooo soothing!

I like that fx that makes it sound like you are underwater!

fine work on the chillout guys.

superb work. I also felt under water whilst listening to this hehe.
only complaint is the percs, they seem dry, as already mentioned.
I'll be keeping this and maybe burning it to cd and I'll look out for more work by The Aztecs in the future.
Good work once again
