Track critique invitation - Voynich - Alocrom

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Same here and same conclusion!

Yes, this is good critique. I've tried my best with the drama and light
and shade but I do know that it is slightly one dimensional. To be
honest, I don't think too much of the core structure is going to change
now.

This is just the feedback I wanted. Thanks.

I assume you mean the Emulator choir that comes in 1:18 rather than the
JX-8p "voices" at the start?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I can easily remedy that.

Cheers
