I started this one in Feb. It's been sitting on my HD for awhile now. It originally was twice it's current length, but the last part was going nowhere. It's loosely inspired by Transient by Orbital and Trans Atlantic Glide by Utah Saints ( )

Nice track mate - not quite up there with the others - but not bad and hard to get an insight into your music on first listen.

This is better for me when I hear it more than once like Danny said. It's catchy afterward as usual with Bliss. Cept' the percussion gets too muffled for me, but I know that it fits the mood. I was hoping that it would "un-envelope" eventually like you do sometimes at the beginning of a lot of your tunes... Still though I really liked your chello jammin. It's starting to sound like a hint of Ochre to me, lol maybe I'm just too much of a fan for him, but this definantly reminds me of Ochre's stuff like breakbeat phase.
Of course I'm sure that anyone could put a chello in their tune and I'd say "hmm, that sounds like Ochre!" 
Nice work, I liked it. It's still a Bliss tune for sure, I can always hear the difference so no worries mate.

Hey Bliss!
I think the filtered drums and the overall groove is the high point of this piece. I have to say, I'm really not the greatest fan of the aforementioned Cello jamming... it sounds too .. gritty? They make for a good addition to the groove, but with the focus that you put them at right now it's a little overbearing. For a song like this, I would've loved to see more standard-issue Bliss pads! As a whole though, I do like the song, the groove sets a good atmosphere, and flows nicely.

I listened to it and enjoyed it. No problem at all with the instrumentation or mixing and I love the key changes and gloopy bits. I may have to keep this for future 'use'

I like the filtered drums and my favorite parts are the intro and outro.
the cello triplet stuff didn't seem to fit, voice-wise, and it got repetitive pretty quickly for me. I know that that is the focus of the tune and without it you'd be back to your initial squares, so I guess the tune just isn't for me.

i only glanced through the previous comments.. but i think i'll echo what kylo said. it would be nice if this track would "open up".. would "blossom".. everything would become clear.. crystal clear 
anyway, it's pretty good.

Listened to this again the other night (after a meditative session), and I really got a lot from it. I think it's fine as it is. That drum loop is wonderfully organic, and the oboe-type 3 note figure seemed to fit well (I like the subtle delay going on). In fact I've noticed this song in the back of my head several times since then which is unusual so it can't be that bad 
My only suggestion is some kind of modulated notch filter on the oboe, or something like that - perhaps it's a teeny bit too harsh and repetitive as it is but this is mostly from considering others' observations.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm chuffed you compared it to Ochre Kylo, I can't stop listening to his latest album. Doof, I do agree the first section is a little repetative, If I was not sick of the track thats the part I would change
I hope to upload a new track in a few days. My first vocal track in ages

Art of Noise meets electronica, nice sounds. This would be a good song for a scene in a movie where someone is 'anticipating' something and waiting around for it to manifest.
Well done!
