There's a middle section which doesn't add anything to the song. I'd been happier if you took a minute from the middle and had an overall shorter song. Had said that, there's some nice sound design work and some nice melodies. But it isn't perfect, for me.

I really like the sound design with the exception of the cymbal. The composition is good, but the dynamics get a touch stale by the finish.

I love the chords already - especially that second one.

Really nice DB.  Very evocative, and great chords changes.

I really like this - but the crashes are a little disruptive to my (ancient) ears.....  Really nice song!

Bang! This intro is just really cool, I can't say otherwise!

I keep looking at the cover for some reason) What does it do?.. Collects logs to build a raft and sail away from ... an uninhabited island in the ocean?.. oh, yes, I digress... A beautiful composition, just brilliant! Seriously, I can't single out anything, it all works together amazingly! I even forgot it was an OSC... One of this month's favorites, you're on top, DoctorBob!
