this is excellent John - great production.
I agree that some of the sections end a little too soon though.

Hi John,
this builds up nice …has a lot of interesting variations and themes ….
in a few places I would extend them for a while longer and let them play out a bit ...
I'm not so sure about the ending … I did like the section before that a lot and i thought it would have been better to
develop that more …and end it there …..
Kenny

Great choices for the instruments, John. The stereo field is well balanced and the instruments have that 3D feel with some in the background and others in your face. Very enjoyable to listen to! And yep, it is never ending.

Daryl, Kenny, Clint, DPete, and Chas, Thank you all very much for listening and for taking the time to comment, it is very much appreciated and always welcomed. There are things I will mostly work on before this album is done and I'm sure every ones advice will be taken into consideration before the final mix of each song is put into the album format. Even I have my own critique on several of the pieces, to date. May main objective is to get all the basics of the album as close as possible, post for comments and once all 12 songs are ready for their final mix down and final elements to be incorporated, I will take all things to heart to produce the best quality finished produce that I an capable of doing.
I thank everyone who has listened, commented and those who wished me well on this project. New piece coming very soon.
Peace and Blessings, John

Great use of filter, esp. tasty on the opening section. Very Tangerine Dreamish. I really like the song and how it slides into the guitar thing (which is very uplifting and not what one expects). A real joy to listen to - which is I guess is the message. excellent.

That was enjoyable, John. I liked the developments as it moved along. Your production/arrangement skills have certainly come a long way since you started out. Keep it up!

Hey John, very inspiring piece- wow the melodic guitar lines and drum hits made this for me. Those drum hits are massive. I like the different complex sections in short works like this, when it's done right like this. tagging you are on my Fav list. Yep I've been on AP since 2004 I think. Thanks for comments on my new piece. Keep making music. Mike

cool intro....
i like all the ambient approaches....
it's very easy to put together mental images to complete the idea....
and i like the buildup at 3:00
i'd love to hear some more aggressive and progressive drum treatments in portions of it...
the music is setting it up for some really off the cuff stuff, if you are inclined to perform it....

John, I think this is my favorite song that you have done. It just puts me in a good mood. I love the guitar parts. Did you play them, or are they samples? Either way, love em! Your message is a good one. I think most of us (myself included) can do a better job of showing others the same grace that God showed to us. Beautiful song, John!

I almost missed this posting and I'm very glad that I didn't. This is another nice composition of changing sounds, tempos, and textures that really hold one's attention. The full, rich sound seems very appropriate. Your arrangements are always surprising and also excellent.
