	Well The initial synth sounds aren't quite as glossy as I'd expect from downtempo music, but when the drums enter, it all comes together very nicely. Your lowest synth doesn't quite reach the bass region, which leaves the low frequencies unused in this track. Personally I would use a deeper sound, and use that as a bass part. Check out my latest song called Fourth Candle

	Thanks! Thanks Vic - constructive feedback as always! The Aalto synth does do some nice basses - you're right that this one is a bit up in the register. Appreciate the listen and thought. Check out my latest song called Tandoori

	70s fits me :) I'm pushing 50 so 70s is about right for me! I love the old synths as well. This one uses 2 old and one new (Aalto). The aalto is usually for more harsh tones but in this one it was dialed in pretty mellow to go with the Moog. Check out my latest song called Tandoori
