    Oh hello weirdo intro. Love it. Proceeds into some smoothe sailing guitaring. YUMMMY guitar harmonies. Rad organ. I’m enjoying this track. Very musical, which is a weird thing to say but I stand by it. Fun percussion throughout. Bass is nice too.
    Production notes: Overall it’s a good mix but every so often a new element comes in a throws it off a little. Maybe duck some instruments when an element shows up briefly so you don’t have to turn it up as much. Also was it supposed to end there?

    No idea who this particular Kenji is, but this feels like another cool jam session. Loved the tropical percussion samples and synth bass, although I would have liked to hear more of that synth solo at the end. In fact, it seems to me that the track was abruptly cut short. Perhaps anon sent the wrong file?

    That organ in the beginning combined with the conga drums have such a great vibe. Guitar tone is TASTY. Perfect combination of good lead sounds with tasty groovy crispy rhythm section. The actual drumkit is actually my only gripe, the aux percussion sounds neat and adds a lot, but the drumkit is a little too quiet in the mix for such a groovy track, and the snare sound is a little too weak for my taste. Still a really enjoyable track.

    Really fun bubbly percussion sounds in this one! Given that though, some of those are a bit heavy in the mix and drown out some of the melodic instruments before everything rebalanced when the actual drums come in. I do like all the synth sounds in this one – this makes me feel like though I’m back in the pit for Legally Blonde. Guitar is nice and clean and very crisp. Bass could stand to come up a touch though, its kind of invisible outside some of the bigger step down motions, though it becomes more prominent around 1:40 as we hit good balance there. Trade off to the synth solo is very well done, and so is the transition to just the bass and electronic percussion sounds. Very nice and smooth bass solo, good job anon!. This ending did feel really abrupt though, almost like that really wasn’t the end of the song? Overall good job though anon!

    Lots of interesting choices here supporting a very “DoD tone” guitar lead. I think I would like this more if the drum part were more syncopated and lively – there’s some je nais quoi here I think you could have unlocked more easily with a live drummer. Also oopsie ending cutoff. Please collab with Kev or something and upload a finished version!

    Earthbound vibes on that organ straight out of the gate, dayummm! This is groovy and out-of-left-field in the best way, I don’t know the source at all but it works so well. The more heavily melodic section that comes in around :40 feels perfect in context, and gives this dish some time to simmer between sections where everything goes nuts. Drums feel like they’re lacking a certain verve but it’s the only part of the ensemble that doesn’t feel quite up to the level of everything else. Nooooo, the ending D:
