i think you'd be an idiot to send this to kranky. not because i think the song is bad or anything. i just think that making music so you can sell it to a record label is an idiots game. but more specifically, this song would have a lot of trouble standing out of their pile of hundreds (maybe thousands ) of ambient demos. it sounds well made and clean and shiney and all that, but if it were my record label that would be just the thing i'd be trying to avoid.

i dont know why i liked it. i never usually like my songs very much, sometimes i like parts but not very often the whole thing. this was just exactly what i had in my head, and i managed to get it out perfectly. it reminds me of the dead texan but with guitar instead of strings, and it really relaxes me, like im lying on the beach on a winters night with a massive coat on next to a fire, getting head

getting head relaxes you?
I guess its hardly stressful.... but relaxing?
I bring up this point because I think this song is definitely relaxing, but it has no "rush" to it. No focussed release of tension. It's soft and flaccid and doesn't really spew forth any sound in an ejaculatory manner... and I'm being totally serious here.
I think I understand what you mean blending sex & relaxaztion together. DOn't add and Funk to this track... but try to add some sex, let some sound burst though at the very end or something.
As a demo track, well what the hell, demos dont have to be finished pieces, but music that'll make someone say "we can do something GOOD with this!"

I personally liked it, r4p. Maybe not as strong as your other tracks.
Then again, it's so weird...tracks of mine that I really really love have been met with a "meh" by a lot of people. But that's not just us - my partner was telling me about a textile designer who said the patterns he slaved over were usually met with indifference and the ones he'd just tossed out were the most popular ones.
I like to think that I learn the most over the ones I slave over, and that prepares me for the effortless ones. But it's still rough to send your musical babies out in the world.

I don't think you'd be an idiot to send it, but maybe best to do it under a different name. It strikes me as lacking originality but I'm no ambient guru.

that's a class guitar line in the background, it'd be nice if the drone and reverb faded out slowly and left that guitar on it's own for a few bars.

I like, but I'm no label exec.
