Sonically it sounds good, that kick hits. For an intro though I feel its a bit long and could easily cut off around 1min or after he says "Its about telling a story through the music" around 1:05 ish
Hosie, love this man, and the spoken word is spot on. Completely agree with @2GooD Productions though, if it’s an intro then the cut off could do with being much earlier as kinda drags on. ‘Potential Intro’ was your wording so which ever you choose.
That kick is an absolute beast
I'm actually one for having shorter tracks where possible, particularly these days when folk can barely listen by 1 minute of any track before boredom kicks in. The thing I was most concerned about was if I had overdone the "sampling is repetition with a difference" but also felt that it helped to bring home the message / essence of the track. I actually didn't mind the length but I don't want anyone thinking a track is dragging on. So yea, that's good. I'll look at the best way to shorten it but really want to be able to have the other vocal chops in there.
Appreciate the listen and feedback as always from you both!
