I must say that I preferred the opening, which really had a fantastic
tone to it in every way. I very much like the use of the (presumably)
delay-enriched keyboard figure - it provides the same sort of quality
that The Edge does in U2's Joshua Tree or more recently The Temper
Trap can be heard using, though with much subtlety.

But even if I didn't love the drums arriving, the production quality
(given the genre) is really great. I'd love to hear a longer, moody
and dark piece that develops the opening without the drums and/or a
different version that uses more organic sounding percussion in place
of the syndrums. Djembes, shakers, maybe some dumbek, that kind of
thing. The somewhat restrained keyboard solo toward the end also
offered hints of something bigger, much, much bigger.

Always good to hear talent at work.
