The tremo guitar tone and the way it sits in the mix is stellar.  Love the verb/delays used.  Really give the mix air but depth at the same time. (does that make any sense ).  The mix sounds great on my end but the drums (snare & cymbals) sound like they could use a smidge more high end.  KUDOS!

Hey James,

This is the third time I’ve come back to listen to this. It’s not what I usually load up  – as you’ve already heard – the mix is terrific, it’s moody and has a quirky little set of melodies running through it (all well played). I used to have a video call The Mind’s Eye – your music reminds me of that – odd landscapes, images – all computer generated. Although it feels “cold” to me (as in emotionally) it is still a fun listen. Nice job!

Thanks Manny, I'm really pleased it called you back a couple of times. 'Cold' is OK by me actually, it fits the subject matter.

Very nice! There is some popping going on in the drums I think, not quite sure what it is. Love the arrangement and mix very much!

Regards,
Dan

Thanks Dan! Not sure about the popping, I shall check that out.

Thanks for the return visit Frank! I'm on the 30-day trial with Bandzoogle. It was an absolute breeze to get that site up, took less than an hour using their templates. After the trial I get my own '.com', and the basic package is $9.95 per month, so yes, very happy so far.

Hi, James, Ed, and Dave,
 
Really cool stuff, guys!  This is a nice, fresh sounding, very tasty instrumental with a crystal clear, well textured mix.
 
Everybody did a great job from end to end, nice production, boys!

Great stuff, it had my interest immediately and I was actively listening to every second. The pacing is perfect for me. Beautiful sounds. Loved it.

Hi James, 

it's nice to hear you stretching out on your guitar ,  I dig all the textural and layers of tones you used 


also , a big thumbs up to your collab mates .


Yeah,  as a tune this is a wonderful ride , very imaginative , it moves along rather nicely & when the drums come in the tune kicks it up a few notches .
Real nice blend of synth soundscape w trad guitar drums and bass ...
btw ..I dig your new web page

The mix is very good as is the choice of instruments...very nice blend.  Like the way it moves when the drums kick in. :)

Allan

Thanks Allan. I think I almost left those drums too late in the arrangement. Tough call sometimes with instrumentals.

This really has a Tangerine Dream feel the way it builds.  Similar to thier style in arrangment with the overdrive guitar in orchestration.

A sweet journey.  I like this a bunch!

Hey Kenny, thanks muchly my friend. Pleased you liked this little excursion, Lester and I enjoyed it too. I do like to try and get a 'wide-screen' thing going on with the synths, but can't resist having a little rawk as well.

Thank you Daryl. I lost touch with the Tangs after Rubycon and Ricochet, (that seems like about 100 years ago..) maybe I should do some catching up.

James, Dave & Ed,
I did not read the comments before I wrote this, so forgive me if I'm just repeating something.

I thought the intro took a little to long to build into the song.  there's something funky with the drums at 2:15 (kick?)

loved the synths and guitars - lovely soundscape on this.  drums are well done (except as noted above) and interpretation is fantastic - I always enjoy Dave's interpretation for the drums.

bass is well done and the mix is really nice.

I don't like the abrupt ending - it cuts off the tails of the notes.

just my 2centavos. 

overall, I really like this laid back lovely tune!

Thanks Reece! Hey, you're a Yes fan, you must be used to long intros, c'mon.. The ending does actually fade right out, but for some reason Box will either play it all, or cut it short, I don't know why. Glad you liked the piece.

Very nice. I don't like the drums down the hall thing at the beginning. Bring them up with the rest of the instruments and this is a great bit of tunage!

Well done all!
