Really good track, reminds me of robert miles - children (message version).
Vocals are nice, I usually hate vox.
Only comment i have is lower volume on the vocals and less hollow sounding echo (?) on them.
Other than that excellent

sick ass beat... i like the synth growls in between... gives in that old Above and Beyond feel... the vocals are good so far kinda has a Coderoy meets Rank1 feel... the tracks keep on getting better..I'd play this... i also like the doo doo doo's... depending on the set, this track doesn't sound like one that would stand out in the crowd.. even tho it has vocals... they vocals and the track are pretty standard... but if you weren't going for the track to stick out, then that criticism doesn't apply.
Yes the piano sounds rather programmed than natural.
I used to have the same problem, but then I friend of mine (Bricky) gave me some tips which were really useful, since he is a real pianist. These are the tips he e-mailed me.
Should be easy to fix though: A
pianist will naturally accent any notes that fall on the beat. You'll
need to do this with the programming too (increase the velocity of these
notes). Also, a pianist will accent even more the first note in every
bar ... do this too. And finally, the notes are hit far too hard. No
pianist would actually play them that hard. The average playing
velocity for mf is probably about 40 to 60. f would be about 60 to 80,
and ff would be 80 to 100. I don't think any pianist would normally go
over 100 ... it's actually not easy to do (you need really strong
fingers!). So try to get your velocities to match these values ...
roughly anyway.
So to make them sound natural I edit the velocity so the notes are played at 60 and the accented piano notes at 70.
As for the vocals, amazing and track is uplifting as usual, good stuff.
