Lurvely Dan. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm assuming that is a bass lib. If so it's the best I've heard.

Went back and forth on the flute levels for awhile. I think I'll stick with them for now Thanks for listening Wookie, and I'm glad the feel of what my minds-eye was picturing came through. Regards, Dan

Thanks Baps... Since I don't have my own fretless, the library is Orange Tree's Jaco. It is very nice, and very playable. Regards, Dan

Holy Globetrekker! Really good from start to finish. I like the fretless, and I'd vote for turning it up a little in the mix. This would be good music as the credits roll.

Glad you didn't toss this one, Dan. This should be on the air as the soundtrack for something or other. Excellent piece... loved the percussion and the use of the vocal samples.

Sounds great, really uplifting production and superbly mixed.... Might boost the bass guitar just a little bit...Very obvious a lot of work went into this.

Hmm...well that's two to raise the bass. Amazingly, Bapu did not suggest this. I'll try another mix with the bass up a tad and see how it goes. Thanks for the listen Mark! Regards, Dan

Must have missed this before... Not much I can add to what's already been said - great piece. IMO it's "pro" all the way. The mix clear and wide, as yours usually are. But the composition and arrangement is what I really liked best. Everything about it just captures the feel. Love the vocal "chants" too - perfect for the tune. If I heard it on a documentary or something like Nat Geo I wouldn't be at all surprised.
