Maybe you could soften out your sounds? Make them a little more touchy when it's slow and really spark it up when it drops. Other than that, it's good.

Thanks for naming the genre 3 months after i uploaded it, was really wondering that one. Was sitting here just really thinking about the genre it was killing me but now you have relieved me of those thoughts, i now know. Its minimal chill out. Thank you sir, for your 17 character comment that clears everything up for me. I can now go on with my life without the crushing burden of what genre this is. Thank you good man, forever in your debt.
regards,
Xyilent

Cool beat! I like your use of synths to create that classic Xyilent feeling. I did have a sensation that the drums were a hair too loud when placed against the other instruments. But dang, your song structure has come so far in such a short time. Great work, listened all the way through! You're becoming more and more unique with every new track :)

Has a nice laid back chill feel X...I think the side chaining gives it a kind of rhythmic flow that works well (I don`t use side chaining much myself) Maybe there is a happy medium if were pulled back just a little.... It gives the synth brass in the middle bit a nice kind of pumping brass vibe although I`m not crazy about synth brass myself...like the higher keys...does have a bit of an R&B vibe so strikes some nice ground between chill & R&B....sounds good over my way.....Ed

XyIlent replied 12th May 2016 - 8 years ago
Hey Ed, yeah thats what i was thinking the sidechain gives some flow, some momentum but its my first time using it in this type of song so ill learn from this and progress in the next :)

"sounds good over my way"

Good, Good!
Thanks for the feedback Ed.
Always Appreciated bud :)

Good job Xyilent!
I like the good taste on this one
best part for me is the chorus
yes it'd be interesting to hear a soft vocal...
too much side chain for me, sometimes it distract a bit but its only my opinion
congrats

Well done song. Has a Little R & B feel to it along with your side chaining. Not much to say except outstanding as usual.

yeah im moving into a kind of hip-hop/r&b style lately. would be cool to have a rapper on that part at 2:11 actually.

"with your side chaining"

i may have went nuts with the sidechaining i dont know lol, i got some new sidechaining software and its awesome so i might have over done it, but it sounds cool so oh well haha

thanks for the feedback buddy :)

Very nice work Xylient! The synths mixed with the melodies you created, were ear heaven. I loved every part of this song. There is absolutely nothing I would change. I would however, like to hear how this would sound with some female vocals on this. Soft vocals, nothing too harsh nor too long, but just enough to capture the sounds even more.

Thanks for sharing, adding this to my favs and downloads!
XyIlent
XyIlent replied 10th May 2016 - 8 years ago
Me and you both buddy haha i think a soft female voc could be awesome with this but its difficult finding the right vocal with the right lyrics.

thanks for the comment man :)

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
