I've had an exceedingly difficult time getting off the ground this FAWM. Various struggles getting in the way.
But I managed to put this together. It's kinda weird instrumentation: train sounds, radio, mandola, talking drum, synthesis, sampling, programmed beats.
My first attempt at playing talking drums (or virtually any percussion) and my first recordings with my Mandola of any significance.
I think the atmosphere and groove here are pretty interesting. Still not wholly satisfied with it, but gotta get it done -- the FAWM way!

Well maybe me, but i find this very relaxing. Ear candy. And also that sound that vibe a little bit. Not disturbing, but lovely. Drums and pads. so well harmonized it all.

I dig it, makes me think of a group of astronauts going through drills before launch and all the instructions.

I like the entrance the snare / hi-hat. The distorted bell with the string pad is very nice. The pulse effect of the pad really adds to the atmosphere.

It's often that I am not quite satisfied with my tracks, but other people seem to like em, and this is the case here with yours; I really love this a lot.
Great in the headphones.
The sound clips really add a lot to this and are well placed and used.
I'm enjoying the weird spacey vibe here.
The percussion dancing around is awesome.
Nicely done.

I have to agree with @mattoxic, that mandola does sound amazing juxtaposed against the electronics & those radio sounds. This kept my interest the entire way. What a wonderful first song for FAWM 2022!
See You In The Shadows…

The mandola sounds fantastic against the electronic backdrop. The voices are also really quite melodic in their own way. Very enjoyable
