Yep,

The dreams in color seem to me more adapted to this day than the dreams in black and white.

Nice track.
I'm not a fan of the rendering of the reverb on the voice.The voice seems to come from a small enclosed space.

The voice sounds very different in LMMS, and in the MP3 file I created. It seems that soundcloud re-encodes the files since the hi-hat sound is also quite different in all the tunes I uploaded (clipping?)

Maybe I should upload WAV files instead of MP3 files....any clue on this topic?

I don't know what treatment Soundcloud applies.

On Soundcloud I put all my tracks in mp3 320kbps. I also notice some differences in high frequencies.

Before publishing anything on Soundcloud, I use Audacity to normalize (-0.3 or -1dB, I can not remember) and convert to mp3. Then I check that the conversion does not generate clipping (I noticed that clipping happens on hard-limted sounds).
