Its alright. Its technically good. Would be good to hear some rolling/rhytmical basslines and a bit more melody focused approach/overall but still "modern"(without modern mixing/mastering ofc) buy yeah modern as in not old/up to date. And wiyh that i dont mean the "modern" uplifting structure, only more focus on song-writing/composing.. give the track more structural direction and use a bit more storytelling..

A far cry from their best works. Melodically very safe and bland. Miss the days when PROFF had his unique energetic sound, or A&B could put write truly emotive chord progressions and breakdowns. Expected more from them.

Palermo is well produced proggy track, really like it. Fractals is not for me, too slow, monotone and no real progression.

Palermo 7,5/10
Fractals 4/10

Fractals has really nice beats, so chill. Palermo is better but take the melodies up one notch and we have a track at the quality of PROFF's best.

I dont hear the A&B influence one bit.
