The mood of the music, keeps the listener riveted onto Mr Blair. Very timely, very intense. [ Reply to This ]

the mood perfectly. DL [ Reply to This ]

Thanx. I don't normally do loop-based stuff, but I wanted to do something for the London blasts. I ended up taking some flute and french horn MIDI loops and dropping them onto a piano track to get what I needed.

Very good, Ross. Really made my chest and stomach constrict with tension. What a terrible day it was, I was so shocked. It's equally shocking how we all so quickly get used to the news. I'm going to favourite this track as a reminder of how I felt that day. Thanks for doing this.
I would have liked the instrumental music to have carried on a bit more after Blair's speech ended. [ Reply to This ]

Fabulous. As far as political commentary in music goes, you just blew U2 out of the water. Great, moving and truly indicative of the times we live in. Everyone should have to listen to this to understand the true sadness of human loss.

Thanx Kathy - what a lovely thing to say. London was my home for two years and watching the bombs on TV from so far away was awful. I remember sitting in a pub and watching Tony Blair's speech and deciding then and there that this is what I wanted to do.

Ross, gut-wrenching stuff & an extremely sensitive treatment utilising
Blair's vocals...

I'm not even sure that I heard this whole speech - in the light of all that's happened since, it's very sobering and the music is very well done - it heightens the emotion that many of us felt on that day. [ Reply to This ]
