all those synths &mdash 10/28/05 - 09:54:09 PM
sound very good together. Nice soothing, cool-yet-warm feeling. Drums
sound really good.

If I may ask, what did you decide?

I decided to stop letting chemicals dictate my happiness, and rather go out and
create my own.

and relays the determination you have to make it without 'the pill'.
Beautiful, beautiful music! If you can arrange the ebb and flow of life as
well as this piece, you will do fine and dandy.

hey.,.. &mdash 10/29/05 - 08:44:48 AM
...did u know that it has been proven that music stimulates the flow of
endorphenes (the happy hormone) in your body? I'm sure by listening
to and making music, it is doing you a world of good. Music is therepy,
baby! Really good electronica track youve come up with here. Very
melodic and funky. It does give off a feeling of indecision....very clever
that you managed to give this off without actually adding lyrics. It's a
fave! :-)

If the lack of antidepressants helps you write music like this, I could
selfishly suggest flushing them down the toilet :) Nice synthy washes,
good buildup, good drums (glad you're rebuilding your library). I myself
recently hoisted a lone digit in defiance of the PharmCos, and am feeling
much bettttttttter... but then blue dragons are notorious red-pill-takers.
A little repetitive, may want to put in some kind of modulation or B-
phrase to break the hazy-drug-induced monotony.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Abandon the antidepressants… &mdash 10/29/05 - 02:36:02 PM
… if you can. I know it's not easy and I know some people really
need them just to get by, but for most people getting off them
and finding other things to help them counter their depression
would be the best thing. I hate the flippin' things! Power to you,
man! As for the track, I love it. There's a strong Boards of Canada
vibe/sound to it, though it's maybe a little more heavy in the beat
department than the Boards boys. Fantastic stuff. 9899.
