Hi there John Wow!! These are some seriously good tunes, the mix and production on all three are top notch - straight from the top drawer. I like the way you've taken the time to let Dripples [great name!] develop, especially when the drums come in and carry the song to the next level. Piper on the Moor is just dripping with atmosphere and the melody fits the title to perfection. My favourite is Am Distraction - like 'Piper' it's very atmospheric and my only complaint here is I could happily soak up another couple of minutes of this. Impressive  Steve

John
I am not usually a big fan of electronica, but i enjoyed Piper on the Moor alot.
I would love to hear that with a high quality sampled Whistle.
Everything was tight from mix to material.
Well done
Ron

I just listened to Dripples and it's a nice piece. It's quite tuneful and has nice contrasting sections.

Just listening to 'Piper On The Moor' John. I love stuff like this man! Like the marching drum beat. Nice the way the song builds as it progresses. Celtic/Appalachian vibe. Enjoyed it.

John Looking at your avatar pic. I was expecting some gritty blues or some 'finger in yer ear' folk, but no I get these ultra-cool ambient sound-scapes instead, that's what I get for shallowly following my own stereotyping...a nice surprise...  (Blimey, I'm wondering now if folk just think I'm a push-button.) This is great stuff and will indeed require no test of courage to re-visit. Thanks for posting.

Listening to dripples, what kind of synth is that? It's hypnotizing me... It's whirling around back and fourth between my ears (headphones). Actually really, like one of those brainwave/alpha wave recordings? You know what I'm talking about? It's very relaxing, but I'm afraid that maybe I'm being programmed to kill?

Sweet. Nicely done.
Piper was very interesting. I would love to hear that on some real Irish bag pipes.
Cheers
