    I don't recall listening to this before...  but I'm glad I did.   Very nicely done, as always.  A great combination of electronics and orchestration, and the "operatic" vocal tracks were a nice surprise.   The strings in particular were a high point for me - loved the dynamics and movement.     Oh, and the bubbling synth "subway" was a cool way to tie it all together.

    You are another titan of the midi programming.  I don't know what else to say.  Great vocals at 1:24.
     
    Heads above. 
     
    Damn fine!

    Beautiful!
    A very pleasant time spent listening this piece.
    The lonely detail is that,nowadays ,the mainstream seems to be:"Get all the lows away" and I miss a little bit thoose times where we could get big basses in the face but it is something personnal..
    Bravo.
    Olivier.

    Jerry,
     
    This is an interesting and polished  composition & recording. I like the contrast of the interweaving legato vocal and string lines with the  pulsing ostinato figures. The synth sounds are thick and distinct. And the vocal sits perfectly in the sonic space of the mix. 
     
    Wow, as usual. Crits are impertinent. 
     
    Is this a stand alone piece, or is it part of a larger work ?
     
    Cheers,
     
    Bert
     
     

    Silence is so accurate

    Excellent piece.  Superb combination of synths with symphonic instruments... very impressive.  What synth(s) did you use?
