Give them a listen if you want! :)

Thanks! Really glad you like it! :)
 
The percussions in what track, do you mean?
 
To sum it up though:
  • In Gift of Flight I use StormDrum2, JugDrums COMPLETE (Embertone) and Superior Drummer 2.. I think that's all..
  • In Dream Band I only use Superior Drummer 2
  • In M.O.T.H.E.R.F.U.o_O.E.R! I use lots of Battery4. I also use Microtonic (SonicCharge) and Superior Drummer 2 (SD2, only for the acou hihat)

Really well done!  All three mixes sound nicely balanced here, and the arrangements are really dense yet well articulated.  I hear a lot of attention to detail. 
 
What did you use for the brass in Dream Band?   It sounds very natural. 
 
Oh, and the middle section of MF?   Trippy.

Thanks for sharing.

Nothing critical I can say about these. They all sound very professional.

Well, you were right when you said all three were different from each other.  My favorite was "Gift of Flight" (I'm a sucker for Eastern sounds), but all of them are beautifully recorded and performed.  Excellent job!!!

Yeah. I'm a real nerd when it comes to details. Details are (IMHO) what really brings music to life. And I find this especially important when it comes to smaller arrangements, like Dream Band, I really want every instrument to live its own life.
The brass in Dream Band is SampleModelings Trombone3 and French Horn & Tuba. Here a small sneak peek video I made before the album was release that shows a glimpse of the arrangement: http://youtu.be/YKoUDXPAsAY
Haha.. Yeah.. MF's kind of trippy all the way through ;D I actually use some old 8-Bit Amiga-samples in there as well. Used lots of tracker-programs (ProTracker was my fav) back in the day and I had a great time playing around with these old sounds. Really brought back nice memories! =)

Thanks, James!
Yeah, I really love that Eastern sounds as well! :) Have you heard Avishai Cohen? Love how he mixes eastern with jazz. If you don't know him, check out the songs Nu Nu, Dreaming Ani Maamin and Seven Seas . A few of his awesome creations.. :)
 
The Duduk I use in Gift of Flight is made by Ilya Efimov. Don't know if you already knew about this library, but I say it anyway.. :) It's a kontakt library well worth having :)

Very cool, thanks!   I'm always interested in PRV shots of compositions like this as a way to see how others handle CCs.   The parts sound great!
