Hi Andy, well, i'm going to join the lovers of this track too.



Hi Garry,
 
I'm so glad you happened across my new tune and that you enjoyed listening to it. I've always been a fan of JMJ and I remember getting Equinoxe when it first came out in 1978. So, although I usually quote Tangerine Dream as my main influence, JMJ is up there too, along with early Kraftwerk.
 
Mucho thanks on your comment regarding my mix... It has taken me a while to get there... I can only thank all the peeps here on this forum that have helped on a couple of tracks I uploaded earlier. If it wasn't for that, M81 would be up to its third revision by now LOL. As it is, I do appear to have nailed this one haha! Pretty much everyone here has said good stuff about the mix, although it might be still ever so slightly leaning towards the bass end 
 
cheers Garry, and thanks again for listening

It is really beautiful but, alas, for me, too long without a video reference or lead vocal or instrument.  I will say it has a captivating sound.  I am this way on all electronica.  I love the instruments and the sound but as the Pogue said a while ago, my ADD kicks in.  Since I am an old guy with roots deep in the blues and rock genres,  I get a bit lost in some of the newer stuff because I need things to be in there to go the whole 8 minutes, though I did.
 
NOW, buddy, about your intro post.  STOP IT! You are a great musician and need not apologize or qualify yourself.  You can lose listeners just because you told them to leave.  They will know whether or not to "turn around and leave" or stay and listen.  I haven't been familiar with your stuff cause I've been in and out for months.  Your post seems negative and that isn't necessary.  Of course, this is only my opinion, buddy.  You have ventured out a bit with that other song you did and need to experiment on that too.  You have talent, so, no more "warnings" on your posts!  Of course, that is up to you. Keep crankin 'em, Andy!!  (BTW, I can't say I haven't done the negative thing in the past and a very talented guy told me what I'm telling you.  That was 7 years ago, gheeeees)

Hi Warren 
 
I know you're not a fan of this stuff, so thanks for popping in here anyway and offering words of encouragement... I really appreciate what you are saying.
 
I will be the first to admit that, yes, I am a negative person. At least on the surface. And it must get kind of boring when I come here to dismiss my own work before anyone even listens to it.
 
I will try to take on board what you've said and be more positive in the future 
 
cheers

P.S.
 
Again, thanks to every one who has listened to M81, even if you didn't comment. I've been busy on SoundCloud doing the usual "networking" stuff and up to now M81 has accrued 243 plays, 36 likes and 5 re-posts. I know I should be preoccupied with stats and what have you, but I just can't help it. And in the past 30 days I have accrued nearly 500 listens... I've been on SoundCloud for over two years now and in the last 30 days I have doubled my plays...

Thanks for sharing,

Andy,
  Yeah man, this is good stuff.  Expansive and interesting with a good groove holding it all together.  All sounded good on my system.  Enjoyed the heck out of this one.  Nice work!  I just noticed there is video version, I'll have to check that out for sure.

Hi Tony 
 
Thanks so much for listening and enjoying M81.
 
The video isn't up to much... I used my Go-Pro to take some time lapse photography of the sky and used Windows Movie Maker to put it together and add some basic effects. It was just another "vessel" to contain M81 and "get it out there," so to speak.
 
 
cheers

Andy, This is a great piece you have created and is quite serene and peaceful to listen to, yet moves along very nicely and slowly building to completion. A tad long, but when you are kicking back and your eyes are shut, you want a longer piece of music for the full benefit of the relaxation.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
