This one has been on and off for a while now but I'm hoping to get it finished soon. Next stage is mixdown.

Nice, it has that old-skool vibe, with the breakbeats and nice pianos, good work. It sounds pretty damn good considering it's not mixed down :-)

Really nice! oozing with ol skool'ishness! may I suggest though a little variation in the piano chords?
a whole or half-step variation on the top chord's middle note could make it sound livelier.

Interesting. I'll have a play around with the idea, thanks.

Absolutely solid melody and breakdown. Really good piano/strings. The chords work very well together. And the vocals work together very well with both of those. Love the arpeggio sound as well, and the transition between that and the breakdown. Also the addition of a bass under the piano notes works really well. A melody truly worthy of any of the top tier music of the 90's or whenever. Definitely needs to be finished.
