Looping the right way. &mdash 04/14/05 - 09:07:49 PM
Two chords repeated, that's all it takes.

As long as you have the imagination to do something with
it.

Sir, this is an excellent track. Well played, well arranged,
the overall conception is great. I'm giving you a bunch of
nines.

Morning treat &mdash 04/17/05 - 05:44:07 AM
I listening to your tune while watching the sun come up. It
all fits. Sweet stuff! Thanks. The Ibanez sounds great
especially the hammering and rolling the notes.
Its sounded like the ending keyboard could have been
held for a few seconds more and naturally decayed.
(recording snafu?)
All in all very nice!

Nice relaxed ambience &mdash 04/19/05 - 09:24:47 AM
Really nice layered theme and variation ambient piece.
Very nice mix of electronic, looped and acoustic sounds,
some very clever instrument entrances, and an overall
peaceful mesmerizing quality. Could have used a key
change bridge or something to lift it, and a ritardando at
the end (if GB could only change tempo!) with a finishing
chord for a more graceful ending. (In GB, sometimes you
have to extend the song with some "dead" measures to
trick it into record the entire reverb tail of a sound.) But a
well arranged and
executed track.

Zero 7 meets Betty Blue &mdash 04/22/05 - 07:04:40 AM
nice description :)
relaxed layers, optimistic vibe.
the only thing - maybe too much cymbals, hihats etc. but overall - great work.
cheers

Well Done &mdash 05/02/05 - 10:07:40 AM
Excellent production and song.
Reminds me of the instrument layering Jim O'Rourke was
doing on his "Bad Timing" album. If you're not familiar
with this, I think you'll enjoy it.

mellow &mdash 08/27/05 - 11:40:35 PM
really great for lying around or taking a nice drive. I liked
how you built the music around only a couple of chords. I
agree with one of the other comments that a key change
would add a little lift to the music. Also a really great job
layering and looping.
