Dan, I bet your dad would have loved this for the moving tribute that it conveys.  This is an epic sound, and I think it's one of your best.  Although I haven't been able to hang out much, lately, I have stopped in here from time to time and I always listen to your songs.  Thanks for all the help you've given me over the years, and may you have a wonderful new year!

I'm sorry for your loss Dan, this was a very nice song.

Hey Dan, condolences on your father's passing -- I know how that feels.

Overall, a very good listen and a good feel to your piece.  There is a sustained low note to the right of center that comes in at the one minute mark and took *me* out of the moment.  Why? Because that sound and the subsequent chordings sounded like a DX7 or another vintage synth.  To me (for what that's worth) it didn't fit in with the wonderful sounds you otherwise have.  Your mix was fantastic and everything was very listenable.  When the drums kicked in, I did think for a second or two that I was hearing a Simple Minds backing track -- which is not a bad thing at all.  Good work :)

Hey Allan, thanks for listening! Glad you liked the song and mix.
 
That sound would be a vintage synth sampled by Hideaway Studios. This whole tune started with that as a base; everything else was added later.
 
Regards,
Dan

Thanks Lynn! I appreciate the support and if I've helped you any over the years, that's just a bonus for me. Happy New Year to you as well!

Dan – wonderful piece of music. Although I am not very familiar with this style, the sound track from Blade Runner is one of my all-time favorites and this has some of those elements. There is that sense of “vastness” that comes across so well. It builds nicely and keeps my interest – I’ve listened about five times here at my desk (work). I’m betting your dad would be pleased and proud.

Sorry to hear of your loss and my condolences. Loved this track, for me the beginning had a tangerine dream bass line entry and certainly had a nice 80's synth vibe running through it. The sounds have been layered very well and each has its own place in the mix. Great job.

Hey Manny, thanks for the listen and your kind words. I would just call this "rock", lol...

Hey Dan, great piece. Had me from start to finish. My favorite part was when the drums appeared and I thought "they're too far forward" and then I thought " wow, they sound, and fit, just great". My condolences on your loss. Songs like these are a great chance to bring back memories.

Thank you Adrian! I definitely had a lot of retro synths in this one, so I went with a full-on 80's style mix.
