I think I got that part... ;-)

I certainly can't claim any knowledge of the style. I'm just surprised 
that there is so little sonic change across the whole piece.

As I said already: I quite like the individual elements of the track (I 
still do, after listening on the studio monitors), but as a whole it 
doesn't progress, so I'd be bored quite quickly. The story of it being 
bass heavy and sounding awesome on a PA is convincingly told in ten 
seconds, but what about the the other 300? If the style indeed dictates 
that all the driving elements must be revealed within the first minute 
and then only change the ornamentation for the rest of the track, so be 
it - but I kind of doubt that. I know you can do better than that.

Bye
Martin
