Ascension - Unity is 1 hour out of 10 that I recorded. It's just the one 
that sounds like Tech House to me. Raw, unprocessed, uncompressed with 
no added filters or effects than the few simple tricks I did when 
generating it.

I have uploaded a new basically raw track for feedback and suggestions.

103 MB - 59 mins

This one I consider to be in the Tech Breaks department. Hence it is a 
much harder, heavier track than the last. To make it a bit easier to 
digest I have bumped up the low end and toned down the high and middle 
before exporting.

I'm interested in suggestions for ways to enhance the soundscape. This 
overall sound is pretty crisp but still needs some more attention before 
I will considered it to be finished.
