So Far

So far I have the following

Still needs vocals, percussion, water rushing and more sounds

Tay Derru - Guitar, Pads                                                                     -  4mins50
Still needs some more sounds & vocals

Total Time -  29.75


Questions

Does the album flow nicely from track to track?
Does the progression from acoustic to electric work?
What should fill the gap between tracks other than water?
Should Current be its own track, or just a filler?
What other sounds/instruments should be in Rail n Stile?
Do I need any other vocalists?
What is the album going to be called?

Issues

Snare sounds weak all over the place
Chords in Wash need accentuating
The bass drops too much in inst of Wash
I want the ending to each song to be different:
                 Drift - get crunchier, m and bittier
                 Wash - more and more reverb until washes out
                 Bacton Shore - end suddenly
                 Tay Derru - filtered a frequency at a time to nothing
                 Rail n Stile?
                 Tzoots?
