Heavy Fire Dance Revolution

[Stevie_M]

Acoustic dance track off my new solo project. I think it sounds pretty good, but maybe I'm just insane? I am in need of reassurance and/or critique. I've listened to my tracks so much now that I'm naturally adapted to them, so I want to try them on some fresh ears. Specifically, I'd like to hear opinions of my track based on these two points:

1. How it sounds from an emotional perspective. Barring any technical/production impurities, does the track have soul and balls? Does it move you? Is it unique/interesting? How does it sound from the perspective of the AVERAGE listener?

2. How it sounds from a professional/commercial standpoint. Quality of the recording and the mix.

Thanks so much guys!

No balls. It is good, not sure there is this thumping and not sure if it is too much kick, or the attack from the bass. Vocals are good, but the sound pretty sterile. Lots of effect in there and that takes some of the personality out of the song.

I think what sounds like the snare with effect should probably go further back as it seems it should be more of a background effect. If it were me, I would pull thew acoustic up to the front, put some of the effects and background noises further back and panned where you can hear them and they add flavor, but not too overwhelming. Then figure out a way to bring some personality back into the vocals.

It is kind of like ELP, those guys always sounded sterile to me. While the song over all sounds good, IMO it lacks emotion.

Let's see what others have to say.
