Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Nice fancy sounds. Good arrangement of parts, the second verse comes in the perfect spot. Great space in the song right before the second verse, set it up beautifully!! I enjoyed some of the synth elements panned mostly to the right. Sax is nice in the intro. Some nice Rhodes playing in this song. I like the conga looks, good use of minimal percussion!! It was not cluttered, just right, helped me to hear your message. Very nice ideas in this song, I felt like you got your message across.
Constructive Comments: Low end is a little much, the bass sound could use an eq cut at 50hz and below. Sax part seemed a little random as it was ‘riffing’ through the track. I would have liked to hear a solo section arranged for the sax. Also too much reverb for my taste, I would like to hear the natural tone of the instrument being feature more that the wash of reverb. Art, I would like to hear less reverb on everything, feels like the whole song is lost in a tub of reverb, it’s all over the place (sax, vocals, percussion etc…) for my ears, it’s too much, I need more definition and less washy. Song ended abruptly, maybe try for a longer fade out…. could have kept some of that sax riffing for the end (this would have sounded nice in the reverb wash) but throughout the song I thought there was too much reverb on the sax and vocals. Good song buddy, nice vibe and concept.
