(Demo/Electronic/Trip-Hop) Driver

I've been having fun with, and making good use of, Ochen K.'s Driver RE synth for Reason so thought I'd make a (unofficial) demo track. All sounds are from Driver apart from the drums (which make use of his Glitch RE).

Hi Tincture!

Listening on small Genelecs + KRK sub.

Driver:
I like the sound landscape you're painting. Some drowsy female trip hop vocals in there and we would have something very nice. Perhaps drop it to Discover?

Working for you:
Wow, nice punk power, I love the guitars, love the vocals, love the power. The vocals sounds slightly low level in my small Genelecs, but listening in ATH-M50 headphones reveals the lyrics better, it does sound like vocals are partially masked though. But perhaps it's a conscious decision/tradeoff to let the guitars express the frustration rather than the lyrics?

Well done anyway!

I really like the synth sounds in this track. There's just enough movement in them to keep me interested throughout, without becoming overbearing. I also liked the arp sound and melody. I guess I'll have to check out the driver sometime!

Bit of constructive criticism: Maybe after the arp stops playing at 2:11 you could have a small break before going back to the main melody? Stop the beat for a bit and just have some spacey sounds? or bring back the main melody but without the beat for a little while?
