the song is called "Pai Calls The Wales", to a song from the soundtrack Whalerider, by Lisa Gerrard

I had a listen, a couple of things i would do different.

The intro is too long in introducing new sounds or variances.

And the beat could use 2 things, sound layering so it has a fuller sound, right now the beat is thin and not punchy. Second thing, the beat could desperately use some swing added so that it doesn't sound to mechanical.

I do like the haunting vocal, though it is overdone and doesn't evolve either.

Thank you Remi D!

The intro... I do understand... and I think the same thing.

Sound layering to make it less thin and more punchy.
To me it is not clear what you mean with Punchy.
I sometimes try to use different sounds... give them the same place in my sequencer and try to make "one sound" out of it...but unfortunately I never have success with it.... Do you know a place where I can find more info about it, or an example where I can hear the difference?

Swing.... you add swing to the Kick... or to the entire kit?
I never really use that... I think it can be a good idea... but I have to experiment with it.

I will work on these things...

and I hope some other people have more feedback.... I am very motivated to develop myself!
