I have posted so many loop and sample pieces, that some of you are wondering if I even play any instruments, so I have re-mastered this older piece I had posted back in 2007-8. I wasn't very good at mastering anything back then and now I have been able to hopefully present you a better mixed version of this piece. The drums were done with keyboards using EWQL Storm Drums, I played the guitars (4 of them) using a Digitech GNX4 guitar processor, keyboards for effects and loops and samples for all the other effects. I hope this will verify some of my old skills and talents for those with any questions in mind. Thanks in advance for listening and hope you enjoy. As always all comments are always welcomed.

Makes me want to smoke things 

The guitar (lead) seems to have a bit too much presence, and it's making it bite a little hard. I would use whatever the wind/synth affect is maybe as an intro? And outro? Or for ****e in places. It seems to distract. Also, you need a bass, and an underlying rhythm instrument with more of a theme. It felt (to me) more like the whole song was an intro? A good one? But I kept waiting for the song to kick in. But bravo on playing the instruments. It just feels (again one opinion) like it needs something more to glue it together, a melody, a bass line, some vocals, etc. 
 
edit, I forgot this forum won't let you say spyce because it thinks it's a slur against hyspanycs. 

kev with all the1's, smoke what you like. Thanks for listening.

Robbie,
The point of the music was to capture a tsunami storm and I think I did that with out bass lines, melodies, singing or anything else for that matter. The wind, the thunder, the lightening, violent waves, the movement and the like for the background carries this piece thru the tragedies that take place during this kind of catastrophic event. The guitar leads, drums and synth tell of the storms 600 mile and hour movement across a wide open ocean, heading for land and the destruction that will soon occur. This is not a piece for a song that anyone could sing or tell a story, as it is already sings and tells its own story. See how the mind wanders? Spice is a good thing as long as you know how to keep it in perspective. Also, your opinion is important, and that is why I can understand it. Maybe when you were listening you failed to scroll down to the About the Song section and read it, that will give you the full story in great detail. Thanks for listening and for your thoughts.

Rik, Thank you for your listening to my old piece and for your nice comments. They are very much appreciated. It is always nice to hear from other members who play so well. Looking forward to your next piece.

John, this almost sounds as if it could have been inspired by "Electric Ladyland".  I like it as is, and it helps to make you a quintessential electronic musician.

 
I say that in a good way.

Again - great textures and soundscapes.  Love your use of the difference sound effects, panning, water, wind, etc.  And the way you mix in the guitar tones and licks.  Very nice.

Lynn, WOW!!! What a compliment, thank you. But, I don't know if I am a example for others, but what I am is a person that loves God and tries to do His will in presenting music with messages, giving glory unto Him. I can only thank Him for giving me many wonderful gifts in my life, to share His message with others, in the hopes they will understand His love for all mankind. Thanks for listening. I liked the "Electric Ladyland" concept, and I did get a good chuckle from that idea. I can see where you were coming from with that in mind. Hendrix has always been a favorite of mine.
