funky and flowing. almost goa-ish. nice.
i'd have liked the main lead that goes throughout the song, to change texture somehow during the song, or evolve into something else. not that its bad. i like it.

thank you very much for the comment! especially the part about it being (kind of like) goa as thats the vibe im going for more than the full-on vibe (not quite there yet though hehe)....i agree with you on the lead - could be better and more evolving, I'm still finding the balance between whats repetitive in a trancey-cool way and not repetitive in a beating-dead-horse way

i listened on headphones so i can't really comment on levels and quality.
and yeah, it has that drifting away goa character which is what i try to achieve with my music as-well.
again, the lead has enough change to its melodic structure, and i know your playing with the cuttoff and what not (which is cool). but, i'm not very fond of that moogish type of sound in itself.
maybe its just me.
my idea would be to use the synths 2nd oscillator (if you have that option) to layer in a different waveform during to song.
or something

yeah on the current track im working on I'm layering more, definitely makes the sound more complex and evolving-feeling.
I'm struggling with leads as I know what type of leads I like but don't have enough grasp of the tech yet to attempt to reproduce them. Also don't want to focus too much on recreating other people's leads - want to find my own...but hit a brick wall sometimes
