You start out with a wonderfully subtle soundscape. Those acoustic
guitars are mixed really well. Also, not knowing your music I had no
idea what to suspect next.

Ok, so that turns out to be an electric backing part and pretty
straightforward drums.

And then, eh, there is a break, and arpegiated stuff, and then various
combinations of that. I was really hoping for a melody of sorts
somewhere. That guitar riff is a decent hook, but not enough to sustain
a composition.

Oh, and after all the great sounding guitar work that synthesized brass
is a bit of a letdown. I have no idea why brass is so hard to get to
sound real, but this was, ehm, not as good as your guitar work.

In sum: you're a good guitar player, and your production skills are
excellent. Try to go for a bit more of an explicit melody, if you can?

Tend to agree with Vic here (I love the Flat and Nefarrious, by the way) - there is more work to be done here.

But .. I've just been thru 3 of your songs, sitting here on a Sunday morning in rainy London, and I absolutely LOVE your guitar work. I'd just love to hear some vocals on your songs.

Keep it up bud, 'cause you've got some real talent.
