I brought the drums up to accentuate the groove, brought the vocals down a bit, put in some subtle accent points via percussion. I hope you like it!

Please critique to your hearts' content.

well that was honest.

And I appreciate it. Thanks for letting me know -- nobody has told me that the vox were flat yet -- I shall be looking into that.

Cheers!

Great idea, but I'm afraid I didn't like it.

Since you are using elements of electronic dance music, I think you should ask yourself "could I dance to this?"

Dance music may have several layers of interplaying beats, but it always has a rock solid groove.

Polyrhythms are one thing, butI tried hard and could not find a groove I could lock onto.

Heading in the right direction; I think it's an improvement over the first version. However; like I said before (and as MrVerylongusername said above) I just can't get into the groove I'm afraid mate.

Hey, I don't take anything personally, everything is a learning experience. Lesson for next time: use a normal time signature.

Thanks for the listen and for the constructive criticism everyone!

I liked it !

Frankly, it's not my kind of music, but I found interesting the way in which rhythms overlap. That make for a rich listening. Not yet Charles Ives, but...

In that sense, the minus is your voice. Nothing wrong with your singing though. But maybe you could sing with clearer attacks and articulation, to stay in the mood of that piece, and maybe adding another rhythmic layer. On the opposite, flatening your voice could work too, by opposition. But now, I feel that you're like in beetween. (hope I make sense)

Glad you found something of value in it!

That is a really interesting point about the singing. Like, something that I'll be thinking about for days. I wonder which extreme I'd prefer...

Thanks so much for the careful listen!

I guess I'll speak on his behalf and say that he appreciates that very much, as completely deranged as he is (was).

Any thoughts about the song itself? Bad? Good? Makes you dislike me? etc....
