Hi Romain!

Vocals too quiet. I like the mood, maybe some extra grundge could be added, but 
the synths sound good. The track needs to lift with the vocal - more dynamics, 
maybe cut out many instruments in verses, so the "choruses" have the full power 
of the atmosphere you've already created. The synth hook at the very start and 
at 3:30 is good, and could be a feature of the composition, instead of an interlude.

Good electric piano sound on this (and the one before). Again, vocals a bit too 
quiet. Need to "go for it" in these vocal performances, make it more a statement 
without being self-conscious. The vocal (particularly your vocal) is the key to 
the identity of your music.

Punchy sound - cool! Vocal still too quiet. It would be interesting to put the 
vocal really way too loud (on all these tracks), forget about the mix level, and 
then see what the interesting part of the vocal sound are - the sibilance, the 
bass frequencies, the attitude, force yourself to work with a rediculously loud 
vocal mix (ie, something that the folks here on the bar would say was crazy ;) 
), and get used to understanding your voice. A violinist practices 99% on 
his/her own, their entire life. They learn to articulate emotion from this close 
relationship with what they create, all their life, when they are playing.

Well - good sound. A bit of a cliché ;) Somewhere between this and the other 
tracks is the Romain (TM) vocal sound.

Tony (Happy Boxing day) :)
