Positive reviews for Summers Cast In Gold!!!

So, a few weeks ago, I uploaded a song and entered it into the ongoing contest on www.garageband.com .
The idea being, to get some reviews.
Given that my finger is clearly a stranger when it comes to the pulse, I neatly side stepped all of what I’ve since learned are the most popular songs on the album and uploaded Summers Cast In Gold because I thought the bassline was the best thing I’ve done to date.

Anywho, I have thus far received 2 reviews, both of which were not entirely uncomplimentary.

good chilled
relaxing, chilled. sounds like a harmonnica wih some tremeloish effect. drum effect/mix is a little weird. reminds me of the flaming lips a little bit more serious tho. really cool.

interesting percussion effects
its the first thing that grabs my attention. sounds like a reverse envelope filter on the snare, which is quite unusual. the warbly effect on the intermittent melody instrument (keyboards?) is decent, but i think this may be a hair to hot in the mix. i like the way this track builds up and how the instrumentation is layed out. this would be good sound track music, as it is evocative and paints a picture. not sure if i could compare you guys to anything, it sounds quite original and fresh to my ears.

Even a grumpy so and so like yours truly can’t complain about that!

Don’t set fire to yourself.
