Wonderful floaty atmospheric pads and tinkly fm-ish sounds. I like the contrast with the buzzy groove as well. Nicely done! I think I've listened at least a dozen times in a row - it's got a sneaky emotional element to it for me... just seems to push some buttons. 8)

Oh, don't know if you're looking for suggestions... but I just thought I'd like to maybe have the beat drop out for a couple of bars before you kick in the alternate groove at 1:55. Just a thought.

That is an interesting song. The synths are very nice, and the mix is very good. I don't like the apparent tempo change right in the beginning, though. The kick drum appears to start at a much higher tempo for the first few seconds, and then it drops down. It is too disturbing to occur that soon in the song and without warning.

what happened to the song starting with an H?

ADVENT has lingered within my thoughts ever since I heard it.
More. More. More.

heliotrope.... I decided to delete it because I didn't think it was very cool.

Thanks for the heads up. With the rapid increase in warmth in Baltimore and my retail employment involving outdoor activities, I've had your music playing so loud within our store that it's become difficult to understand what others are saying. No one wants it that loud, but then no one wants to turn it off either.

Here's something I've recently finished: www.badams.bandcamp.com
There's very little, but you may find it interesting nonetheless.

there have been some rapid heat increases here as well- its been quite nice.
glad you're enjoying the music.
I checked out your song and while I'm typically not really into darker ambient stuff
I thought it was well executed and enjoyed listening.
I decided to upload some older tracks you can check out if you want.
