Really well done from top to bottom.  Amazed by the orchestration, esp. coming at it the way you did (guitar first, everything else later).

+1 on all the evocative notes early.  And brilliantly captured.  Great sound w/o getting busy at all.

Thanks very much J.A.  I actually really like working that way, teasing out counter melodies and adding textures to a lone instrument. Fascinating where it takes you.

James this is really nice and atmospheric. Would love to hear a bit more space in the guitar and vocals, but you might lose that up close and personal vibe...so that's subjective...
-Danny

It is indeed subjective, but that was exactly what I was thinking. You have a great minimalist feel for music that I only wish I could emulate.

That's very nice of you James, thanks so much. I do manage to hold back my prog tendencies sometimes..

... Always anticipate the legend-minstrel ... and his ponderings.

... Unfortunately, there is some raspy guitar interference with the vox in the last 30 seconds I'm afraid ... so that I can't make out a few heavy words.  Also, the song begs for more, IMHO.

... Fortunately, due to the astonishing vox weightiness, this is my fav song of yours to date: Original, oriental, viking, old Brit-country ballad, elemental dance, artsy, pragmatic, etc., etc. ... that compliments and bursts above your old instrumentals ... many notches.

What an offering!

I really loved this song James. I could listen to this all night. Beautifully arranged and performed. I am anxious to here it when completed. Very nice work indeed.
