3.14 drum track sounds like a hiccup. I think it's just the part. But it sounds like a hiccup. It almost happens at 1.50 as well.

Really like this one. That drum track is highly unusual. It sort of lurches and works all at the same time. I'll listen again a couple of times. This mix bears scrutiny.

@dobro , Thanks I'll check those sections carefully. I couldn't find a drum loop that I was comfortable playing with for this song. I did the drums with 3 different synths just "trying" to get the feel I wanted. The drums are Really bothering me now when I listen. I'll see what I can do about it. Thanks for the conformation. .. mark

I like the song.

I agree the drums are a little unconventional, I just put it down to the style of the song.

@ Mark: I like music that doesn't meet expectations in some way. This tune does that, and especially because of the drums - they're sort of in a parallel universe to the rest of the track, and for me the experiment works. I heard a singer for the first time this week who does the same thing - she doesn't meet expectations, but it works. Her music and your tune here have approximately absolutely nothing in common except for being kinda unusual and really good and my liking of them. (I won't post a link in your mix thread, but if you want to see musical expections being surprised, check out Krystle Warren at Paste Studios NYC in YT.)
