Listened to droplets. After the first 10 seconds I had to go pee

After that, liked the ambience, and I thought it was well recorded and mix, if a little overbearing in the highs for my taste. Could have been a little more bass there - are you monitoring on a bass heavy system?

The electric lead coming in was cool, put me straight in mind of Pink Floyd. After that, somehow, as it went to the single guitar notes with delay, I got the feeling you had kind of run out of ideas, which was reinforced by the change of groove around 1:55 or so - in fact it could have been a different song.

I know this is a matter of taste, but you asked for views and I'll share mine, which is that instrumentals need to have a lot going on to maintain interest (I used to play in orchestras as a kid, and there was shedloads of stuff going on all the time, all giving it texture). So, if I had written this, I'd say to myself "good start, nice sound, nice vibe, now I need to find a slightly stronger unifying musical theme to run al lthrough it and I need more in the way of variation around that theme". But you're not me and if you tell me I'm spouting a load of old crap that's fine by me

It was nice to listen to tho' and you clearly know what you're doing.

Best wishes

Garry

hey garry,
thanx for replying...and thanx for the opinions...:)

yea.. i agree evryone has their own opinions(obviously )and it's nice to have them. . for whatever reason...Improvement,improvation...etc.

no, i didn't mix on a heavily bass montitoring system. In Fact it is really low on bass. I'm just using a 10+ year old hi-fi(pass down to me from my dad)

about the composing part...well i'm a real amatuer on that...it's not that i ran out of idea, I just don't want it to sound to "draggy"...
but still appreciate ur reply..

anyone else?
