:) Nice! Will check your soundcloud if you do more retro 80's style dance music, do you?

Great sounds Layzer. You have managed to get the sound of 80s synths with out them sounding cheezy! Really like the bass. The lead synth has a fabulous bright sound to it! Well done. :)

Music with progressive intent.

Very nice sounds with a flawless mix. It could be developed further although it is quite enjoyable as it stands. :phones: :tu:

I really liked the bass too. It has some pleasant harmonic properties, but that could be the pads talkin'. What is playing that rhythm guitar-like sound on here? It's good. This was a very enjoyable trip back in time.

Good work :)

Not bad! Drums could use a bit more 80ies touch, but I like it esp. when it breaks down :)

thanks for the play, John :)
theres 2 basses going on here. the Curve subbass that i layered under the M1 pads
and the FM bass from OXE, i'll asume you like both :D

the lead synth is a sound design experiment in which i took a the infamous Fairlight
breathy sample and layered it with a percussive "ping" i recorded myself in my kitchen striking
a wine glass with a fork! then i proceeded to create a EXT2 instrument out of the combined sounds. :D

It would fit in any Cyberpunk OST. Very nice atmosphere, reminds me of Alex Brandon. Also I'm glad, that you didn't use a Linn Drum or any other classic 80s drum machine. This gives your song a more cinematic feel.

In my opinion , this track doesn´t need Drums but good work. I Like the phaser effect. 8)

80s sound and a Highlander reference... sweet.

The whole piece is cool, but your work on the lead sound paid off--it kept my interest throughout, as did the effects and bass(es). Well done!
Here's some of my stuff: https://soundcloud.com/shadowsoflife. If you hear something you like, I'm looking for collaborators.
