The playing is mediocre at best, the mix is crap, I have no idea how to use my production software, it's got no chorus, no hook, four chords, a scratch vocal track, and it sounds a bit like early Yanni. But: it's the first thing I've actually recorded and turned into an .MP3 since I plunked down a billion dollars on my studio over two years ago, so I'm pretty damn happy about that. I've got 18,000 drum loops on order (really), and I'm hoping to use some of that as a foundation for tunes that aren't for robots, so much. No, that is not a contradiction. Real drum bits recorded by real session drummers, artfully arranged, will beat the chips out of the Korg Karma's rhythm section any day.

You can listen to "Limerence (Falls In Waves)" right here, if you dare. Probably best listened to through headphones, as I don't know how to do any of the stuff I'm supposed to do it make it sound less like crap through speakers. It also sounds better louder, which is another consequence of my utter lack of mixing skilz.
