funken, thanks for the input!

I missed the one that funken heard, but after reading his comment I think that the bass drum is still too "in yer face" for an ambient piece.

IMO it's too "clicky". I would suggest using a bass drum that's deeper and softer (more muffled with less attack).

In descriptive words, it needs to sound more "woom" than "tick". 8)

I've changed some things around now, so do take a listen.
Cheers!

That section from 33s kept reminding me of something, then I figured it out!

Yeah, I used to be a fan of Living Colour! Nice one.
Vague resemblance, well spotted!

Nice work, I'm impressed by the evolution. (is the most recent track really from the first one you posted?)

There is a really pleasant cohesion in the processing of all the sounds in the last bit of the track. The same kinds of soft edges, even with the gating effects, etc. Nice work!

Thanks for the kind words! And you're right, it's a different tune. Sorry!
