Oh nice, didn't realize we can embed music files like that now. Been a while since I was here, though. It's kinda bad for skipping to timestamps (in my current experience, at least). But yeah, I really dig your choice of using a perc organ in your version, since it's a very nostalgic sound to me. But some of the sfx here (like at 0:29 and at 0:44) feel a bit too "hi-tech" to me, personally. Thus, they don't mesh well with the organ foundation. Would have preferred some brief soul-ish house vocals clips instead and maybe some brief sexy sax samples to spice things up even further. You could also sequence your synths in ways that feel soul-ish. Right now, it feels to me that you are making a piece that starts like a house track, but then it quickly loses its identity to trance elements (the snare fills don't feel house-ish enough for me, either). The chord synths that show up at 2:42 onwards to support the groove are a nice addition. And so is the little triangle wave. Also, holy shit: my browser returned to the previous page accidentally and I thought everything I wrote here was lost. Phew...

I put you both for the normal version of the stage mentioned by both - if you want the critical version of the song instead, let me know and I'll update it. I appreciate your contributions!
