Cool, Adit. I liked the song. The video's bustling city + time lapse complemented the pace of the song really well. The only thing I might change is the beginning. It may just be because of the encoding, but it seemed kind of choppy.

If you can, a time lapse of the city from a high vantage point from about morning till evening would be cool.

Thanks for sharing.

[Chris_Seahorn]

Outstanding....my only regret was that I wasn't driving (love to drive to that kind of music)

So, which one are you?...one of the two always smiling or the one that always looks pissed off?..

Best of luck with this man!

I didn't like the faster version of the melody, but the rest was pretty good actually.

Subway: thanks

Chris_Seahorn: Iam the one with the wrist band :P Thanks, ya we r pushing it

Genesis F5: Dude, had a lot of problems with the quality, as the video on flash needs to be steady, but we did'nt wanted it to be like that, or less color, or any compromise. Believe me, lots of head scratching has gone in to it :P and that's why I have also provided a download link for the .avi one with better quality. "If you can, a time lapse of the city from a high vantage point from about morning till evening would be cool." Good suggestion, but too late :P but a good idea for the next vid.

Thanks a lot for the response

Ok... won't even lie. I thought this was really going to suck.

And surprisingly, it doesn't. Not in the least. Reminds me of the stuff I used to listen to on Mowax or by Bill Laswell. Video is a bit quirky by design, works with the song. Just all you were missing was a fisheye lens dude.

[adit_ya_sharma]

Thanks dude, we also like bill laswell

[FlashLackey]

I liked it. Did anyone think it was odd when you were standing still next to the traffic during the time lapse scene?

[koolbabs2000]

Hats off Aditya !!! Wonderful music !!!
Like the music - a good music of Indian classical with rave thrown in.
Whose playing the sitar ?
What instrument do you play ?

[adit_ya_sharma]

koolbabs2000: Thanks alot friend. We did the whole sitar on the computer
I play my synth. keyboard

FlashLackey: Yup, one guy just stood there, staring at us in wtf mode, priceless Thanks!!!

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I really do appreciate it.

Here's a Youtube version if other's don't work good enough for you

Hey guys, update, our track has been played on BBC asia network's show hosted by Bobby Friction. You can check the monday show and see our band (Bhraminn)name here in the tracklisting:-

He talked about us at around 7:10 and 7:15 timing on the show

[Genesis F5]

Awesome! Congratulations!

I thought a 6-8 seconds pan scene, of a city level perhaps, followed by an interspersed feet walking scene, will fit the opening song mood more - BUT you didn't post it for suggestions to improve so... yeah, its a really good music vid! I liked how the music compliments the buildings. Good pacing as well, save for the intro, but still good overall!

[Genesis F5]

How did the BBC find out about your band? I'm guessing your label told them about it?

[1stbite]

congrats on the BBC airing Adit, quiet an achievement to get the big Beeb to notice your work

I like the track, agrees with Chris that I could easily listen to this on a good drive.

The vid compliments the audio its just a shame you had to optimise it so much to get it online.

All in it's thumbs up here

[adit_ya_sharma]

Googooboyy: Thanks dude. The idea was to keep the footage raw and something unexpected and cool

Genesis F5: We are not on a label at the moment. We just directly contacted the main RJ/DJ there (Bobby Friction) to check out our track, and he really liked the song and asked for a file so that he could play it on the radio, so we gave it to him, and next thing we know, it was on BBC Asia Radio 1.

1stbite: First off, thanks!! Yeah mate, the optmization really did destroy some of the detail colors in there, I will definatly upload a better looking version later on.
