Alright, being a major Pink Floyd fan myself, I have some important critiques. PROS: 1. The overall sound is pretty much spot on in terms of Pink Floyd vibes. It conveys it straight out of the box and hits a peak almost indistinguishable from an actual Floyd song. 2. Your vocals sound very Gilmourish, and considering he sings most of the band's music, it's incredible. 3. The trippy ambience at the end is a nice touch to really hone the spirit of Pink Floyd. CONS: 1. The song's first verse begins a little too quickly. Most of Pink Floyd's songs don't get into the bulk straight away. There's usually an intro of some kind, which can take awhile to build depending on the nature of the piece. The bit you had at the end would've actually worked really well from the start, possibly in both to keep a more rounded feel, which Pink Floyd tends to do. Maybe even a crescendo and a weird distorted scream, like in the opening of "Breathe" would also be something to consider. 2. (This is by far the most pressing) THERE'S NO SOLO! There has to be a solo. And I'm sorry but 0:42 doesn't count. It doesn't stand out like a Pink Floyd solo should. Now I know that trying to truly generate new Gilmour style solos is not likely to sound as good, but it doesn't have to be. Just any solo that is soulful and melodic would do just nicely. Preferably, the solo goes on for at least 30 seconds to a minute. Any more time would actually be the best thing to do to really stand out but not too much, otherwise you run the risk of it becoming redundant and loosing the listener's attention. Other than that, great mashup cover overall. 😉
