Dang it, I can half hear lyrics that would go with this, but I'm about to leave for a trip and don't even have time to record the melody I'm thinking of. But it's really got a nice sound.

A very 'solid' idea as well. Awesome overall sound. Kinda reminds me of REM. The acoustic guitar really sounds fantastic. As does the bass tone. Only critique is that the bass line seems to drift for a full minute in a pseudo-lead role. If it were me, I'd stick to the lower register with only flashes of higher notes.
D'ya have a vocal melody line for this yet?
Looking forward to the finished product.

All in all, for me this piece of music so far has a few nice ideas in it. The mellowness of the wobbly synth/rotoguitar/Idon'tknowwhatitis together with the strumming guitar has that familiar REM, brit pop vibe. I'm not so sure about the nylon lead guitar, but listening to it I get a feeling it's put there to give us an idea about the lead vocals?
I don't agree that the bass should step back, but considering this instrument I think it's more a matter of getting the rythm right and hitting the notes better.
01:44- Listen to this part for instance.. I got an idea that you might try to start the song off with this part and maybe let the bass enter slowly together with another instrument and a little bit of singing. What I'm going for is that what is now the main melody (the melody that comes on from the get-go) kind of loses its pace for a while. As it's gently flowing along, after a while I feel the need comes for it to be injected with a shot of energy, for instance in the form of a surprising change in the melody (watch out for weird descriptions  ). But instead of just putting whatever change after 4 bars, why not make this melody more interesting by putting it in a different context? This may sound cryptic, but I'm picturing that what is now the "main melody" could in fact be something that the part around 1:44 "goes into".
It could be illustrated like this: Song starts with part around "1:44"--> After a
What this might do for me, is perhaps it will be removing some of the resemblance of this song, with a standard "early 70's" gentle progressive-psychedelic tune. To understand what the hell I mean here, picture "Blind Faith" collaborating with the post-Duane Allman Brothers, for a live acoustic gig 
I don't have anything against a constillation like this one, but I feel you would be able to put more creativity into the song if you went for something a little more unusual than what these gentlemen would!
Well, this was a lot of yakking about only one aspect of the song, but I don't see the point of digging too deep into the production and the mix before the structure really has taken form!

I agree this has that REM feel ..hope thats a compliment to you ! This in progress track is going to make a great song ...has that beautiful mellowness about it in the guitar playing which is fantastic by the way. I like the melody picked out by the guitar..really soothing sound.

I can hear the bas really shining once you straighten it out a bit. I like the natural bits of counterpoint you've placed in the bass playing, but that tone works really well for creating a very nice, concrete rhythm. I hear Bjork in the vocal melody.
the rhythm guitar has a nice otherromminess to it, but I think the channel mixing is a little wierd, the reverb feels like it's coming out the side of my head.

This has some really pretty aspects to it that makes it quite compelling.
The layers seem to go off of their own sometimes and then that rejoin the fray and i like that.
I really look forward to seeing what you will come up with if/when a vocal and lyric is attached. This should be great!

I like where you're going on this track. Every instrument sounds so crisp. I look forward to hearing the finished version. It stands well as is, would like hear some drums come in though. My 2 cents. I remember hearing a track like this from CosmicEarth Girl...where is she?

very laid back track, are you plannin on putting vocals to this?
does have the feel of a work in progress, like you weren't quite sure where you were gonna go with it in places, but is still solid over all.
hits a few interesting rhythmns and sets a nice tone.
i'd be interested in hearing the finished product

I think my favorite aspect of this is that far off high delay synth. Soooo dreamy. Has this gone beyond a "rough idea" yet? I would love to hear this with some vocals. Maybe some hand percussion or something.
I approve.

This has some nice ideas (mainly the guitars).
Can hear some good vocal lines over the top.
The bass is a bit distracting. Sounds partly out of time and also partly just wandering aimlessly...
Will be interesting to hear the completed song

nice organic feel to it...
I like where it is going, kind of has a zep "thank you" vibe...
must agree, bass could come down about 6dB but it's all good...

i love teh bass in this, it seems to be the controlling instrument if you will,as ridiculous as the concept is i don't think i bass solo would be remiss in this song
i think it's worth looking at the change at aroudn 1 minute it's a bit sloppy
all together tho it's pretty cool

new mix, new takes on bass, still unsure what to do with this.

I love the tremolo harmonics. The layering of the guitar parts is really really cool. Seems like it needs some type of percussion in there though.....along with a vocal melody to center the piece. The chord structure still evokes an REM vibe to me. This will be cool when you've finished it.

I think this has tons of potential. Nice changes, nice playing.. so many places you could go with this.. keep it mellow.. get it raunchy part way through.. add vocals, drums.. perhaps a nice B3 .. Definately worth completing!
