Not a bad track. The lack of feedback is *???* Oh nvm this is TA.

No label suggestion, but I do have some feedback...

Only a few qualms that would keep me from adding something like this to my collections...(didn't listen to the remixes soz)

The chord progression of the airy saw synths at 3:14 was a bit of a letdown. I don't know enough music theory lingo to properly describe it, but the feeling I got after the build was dis-satisfaction. Everything leading up to it was great, good tension, good progression, great sound palette and production, but the chord structure doesn't evolve into its resolution. It's basically the same loop played on the drop without finishing the idea, and thus makes the build a moot point. It's that resolution of a minor chord sequence after a build that gives me the warm fuzzies.

Also wasn't keen on the snare rush, but the drop into 3:52 was excellent.

My biggest qualm is the lack of a main theme. This seems old Airwave-esque, so I'd use them as an example. You have similar fluffy synths and driving bass/beat, but they have a main theme or riff that the track evolves into. If I were to shut this tune off now and try to remember it later, I'd be hard pressed, since it sounds like it's comprised entirely of supporting harmony. The best part about uplifting prog. are the memorable anthems.

However, it is what it is, and as it stands it's quite a nice tune regardless of what I think.

-Cheers bud
