p.s. the sample in the beginning is of a real radio broadcast.... I was using the sample and then a few weeks later I was watching National Geographic and my jaw literally dropped... it was the same sample used in this crazy documentary..maybe you can figure out which one?
Damn, I really, really like the intro to this Nico - very cool use of the Roswell audio sample, fit the mood of the beginning perfectly.
I really like the glitchy kind of high percs going on in this, think they could sound really nice on a big system, and the track in general seems to remind me a lot of the late 90's/early 00's prog that Sasha & Diggers were banging around the Delta Heavy days. It's just got that same kind of ethereal, creepy, lush vibe to it.
The only part I'm not entirely sold on is the synth or whatever the bloody hell it is that accounts for the mid/high end towards the end of the sample, but could definitely wind up changing my opinion on that.
Hey Rob! what a surprise you're here! thanks for listenin! i agree with the synthi part... still tweaking it out..... have to give it some rest as my ears are numbed from looping this track
Hey Nico! I hope you are fine! This track is really nice, having the right Nico-atmosphere, dark and mystic. And the sample fits great! Just think it would do with a soft whisper somewhere in the middle, as a follow up to the intro. Just a thought. However, great job!
Takere!

Excellent! Solid intro, and a wicked bassline kick interaction. The effects are ace, but I personally would turn a tiny bit of the treble down on them -- those highs just seem to overshadow the click of the kick a wee bit. The synths are rather ethereal, and have no dominate melody... the surrealistic phrases of musical intelligence are there, but the pad really steal the show by the end of the clip.
The melodies and synth lines seem a little to "drowned in the ocean" for my liking, but it's still a good track. Cheers!
