Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi everyone,
I'd like some feedback on a track I am working on.  Just looking 
for an honest opinion about it....

I liked the sample reduced bird sound and the bass flow thingy with a 
little bit reduce.  They kind of fly through the song as a little 
treat.  I also like the vocal part.  Is that you?  Are they samples?  
What sampler?  

But the lyric got boring to me.  I was hoping in the end I would know 
something.  I would say you need a puchline, not that it sounds like 
a joke.  

Almost like Yo La Tengo however, with a little Beth Orton.

Me likee the track. Very well done. The ONLY thing I
don't like (and this is just a matter of personal
taste) is the pitch shifting treatment of the vocal.
Although it is very well done, I like the vocal better
when it flows more naturally. By the way, if this is
you singing, you have a great voice.

Can you tell us which parts use the MD, and what else you used?

(Done in Protools LE)
I used the MD for the main drum beat, ride cymbal and noisy 
open hi hat.  Also used a few of the effecty MD sounds as 
fills/downbeats which I ran through a delay to give them a bigger 
sound.  (Low sliding bass/percussive sound near the beginning 
and the chimey/twisted sound between the first two vocal 
phrases.)

The bass comes from an SE1X, the dark keyboard is from a 
Nord3 with some delay.  I sung the vocals one word at a time, 
autotuned, looped and time stretched them in spots.

I used some vocal outtakes like tiny little lip and breath sounds 
as percussion fills and a sample of a camera snapping mixed 
with the chimy/twisted MD sound.

There are two creepy orchestral samples taken from the 
soundtrack to "Raiders of the Lost Ark."  One is a string slide and 
the other is pitz strings.
