Haha - this is perfect. The sound is spot on. You should collab with Data (a WATMM user who makes music under the name Mitch Murder).

[Hugh Mughnus]

this is great lol I love the retro vibe

[sergeantk]

great work on this one love the detuned leads

[747Music]

Awesome song! I'm such a sucker for 80s goodness such as this.

[Guest GarthKnight]

wow, hey thanks guy's, I really appreciate the fact you checked it out.

[Hugh Mughnus]

keep em coming! And welcome to WATMM.

[modey]

Ah, this is great! Love the bassline. And yeah, the detuned lead is excellent.

[Guest Frankie5fingers]

gave it a listen and very impressed. great track.

[Guest The Bro]

Nice. Feeling it ... just my sort of vibe!! Those gated drums are supa fat.

[Goiter Sanchez]

Wonderful vibe; you've nailed the retro production aesthetic and the chord progression is very nice! As a standalone instrumental it works pretty well, though it feels like it's missing a vocalist. I am left wishing that there were more rhythmic or arrangement-related surprises in this one as it progresses for it to work exceptionally well as a standalone instrumental.

[granty]

Very nice, restrained.

[Guest GarthKnight]

just to say thanks for the feedback, I am glad you guys enjoyed it!

hey garth, cool track. why do i recognize your name? are you in the synthetix group on fb?

[Guest TAPCEH]

Wow, some quality 80's style tunes in here! Bass line is so simple but yet so good. I would like to hear more tracks of this kind.

Someone should cut this particular track on vinyl someday, i can imagine spinning it at some retro party somewhere around 3:00 AM. That would be nice indeed.

[auxien]

yeah i agree that it's got that 80's style vibe, which i certainly enjoy. that sound seems to be having a mini-revival amongst electronic fans.

[modey]

About fucking time! I've been writing 80s style stuff for years!

[Guest GarthKnight]

hey garth, cool track. why do i recognize your name? are you in the synthetix group on fb?

 

hey man, yeh thats me on the synthetix fb - love your stuff too

[Guest od++]

Ah this is awesome man! I do agree that some washy vocals could fill the sound out a little but I also think that the unvaried drum track holes it together nicely, I think adding variation there would possibly detract from the focus on those lovely synths. Lovely work :)

[Npoess]

That was a really fun track. Very well produced.

[sweepstakes]

Damn, this is pitch-perfect. Good stuff. Retro stuff often gets on my nerves but this actually has some depth and you absolutely nailed the vibe.
