Way to go, PBS!
Keep up the non-conformism. My comment sounds awfully dry in retrospect, more than I intended. Maybe you should try brushing up the jazz chops. But it is very hard work getting them right. It's one field where it's hard to fake and no-one wants a second best. Marc Moulin (ex-Telex) is making a good career out of making jazz more palatable. Not really what you're trying to do, admittedly.

This track has had a mixed reaction. While a lot of people on this side of the globe tend to hate it, I have sold quite a few copies in Asia, as you mention. I'm not sure why it's popular over there, but the world of music is varied and takes all kinds.
Meanwhile, my Kids On Rainbows track is more popular in the West, especially in America, but hasn't been rated much in Asia. I do tend to get a bit experimental at times and it can be difficult to fit me into a box. I'm a bit of a non-conformist, but I do love Jazz, which creeps into quite a lot of my tracks.
Thanks to everyone who responded, even to those who thought it was awful. If I couldn't take negative criticism I wouldn't be making music.

There might be room for some jazz keyboards over hard electronic music. But this isn't it. Very linear music, overall. The video is like a standard VJ mix of visuals.

It is a bit 80s but it's not actually that bad. I prefer your Kids on Rainbows track, but I've noticed your name mentioned on Asian forums and it seems your instrumental stuff is more popular over in China and Japan, etc. than here in The West. Is that a market you were aiming for?

Not surprised when it's bad as this! Akin to some shite music off a bad late 80s computer game.
