Starise,
  Wow simply beautiful, composition and playing.  The strings are so pristine and played so well.  I love the style and it really took me away listening to it.  The mix sounded great on my system.  It sounded great as an instrumental but I could also get into this with vocals as well.  Nice stuff for sure!

You are getting quite good at this stuff Tim
 
Nice and yes it does sound very nice here, airy, open

Hi Tim, the Celtic stuff of your is really compelling - check here for a link in my blog a while back - and this one continues your impressive run!
 
I can only offer one little crit - I think there are a few spots where your elements are not in rhythm. I know in the slower songs, I find keeping on that beat challenging, and if you are going for the re-creation of a real group of musicians playing this, then their timing would not be spot on either.
 
You might give :38 - :40 a listen, for an example, acou guitar and the bell-like thing hit differently. There might be four spots like that in your  piece. Everyone else mentions the incredible atmosphere (yes!) and the clarity of your mix (again, yes!) and I agree.
 
whatever the Gaelic is for "muy bueno" . . .
 
cheers,
-Tom

Beautiful sounds and playing. Lot's of spirit in there.

Thank you for the comments guys. I always feel as if I can get an honest evaluation and hear some good music when I come here.
 
JulienRay- Thanks!
 
synkrotron- Thank you ! I appreciate your comments !
 
Mike- Much appreciated! I feel a goal has been met when people actually like the music :) Thank you!
 
Rik- Good to see you back! Thank you!
 
Warren- Thanks man! Anything new in the works?
 
ohgrant- Thank you!
 
Wouter- I am thinking about vocals on this. I'm talking to someone else who can really sing...pro trained Mezzo soprano...I have my fingers crossed. The main thing is writing a good rich lyric.Thanks for that link and your comments!
 
SteveC- Good to hear from you. Everytime I go into walmart I think I might bump into you lol...Thanks for those comments. I worked fairly hard to get it panned and find a reverb I liked...so I'm very happy to hear your comments :)
 
9thaspect- Thank you!
 
Tony- Thank you! I hope to find a more regular vocalist soon. I also thought it could use an airy female vocal.
 
Wookie- Thank you for those comments my friend. Which ship did you listen in? I know you like some decent background music when your dismembering...err...feeding ;)
 
Tom- Thank you! That link doesn't seem to be working for some  reason. I hear those things you mentioned. I might go back and see if I can make the attacks a little closer. I knew someone was bound to hear it...not bad but it could use a little tweaking for sure. It does have more of a live sound as the result of that I think. I don't know if you would agree or not, but sometimes different types of attacks don't seem to fit together as well as others....
 
Rimshot- Thank you Rimshot!
 
 
 
 
 

Ha! Turns out, you have to be 100% accurate when you put link URL's in . . . sheesh! Link fixed, it's towards the bottom of the page.
 
I also agree that in some cases, the simultaneous attack of two clashing instruments might be harsh, perhaps if both are percussive or sharp or in the same eq register . . . 
 
I hope your adventures with the vocalist work out, but I think your song stands pretty strong as it is!
 
cheers,
-Tom

Tim, I have to agree with Tom on the timing issues, there are a few, but the overall song and concept for what you are trying to achieve are spot on. I'd work on this one so it can be a great keeper.
 
Peace and Blessings, John
