hey runner--i like it much better, only comment i have may make no sense, but i just go with MY ears,and that it sounds almost TOO full, maybe some of the reverb needs turned down on some of the tracks? don't know. I DO CONTINUE TO LIKE IT BUDDY, just to my ears (on phones) might be a bit too ambient--if that makes any sense. but if somebody don't say it--DONT change a thing. nice pieces fit very nicely in this nicely produced piece of nice music! oh, did i say it was nice? me likey.ok, now i've heare it through again, turned DOWN my volume, and it's not as bad as all that stuff i said up there, but still maybe a tad too much reverb? great job though, somebody else say something (don't call me names...)the best,warren

Very visual Jay, don't think I'm qualified to say for sure what this would be pefect for but it certainly sounds forwardable . . . and more important like it could be placed somewhere. Good luck dude!

This is a good piece. One thing I'm thinking (and this is mostly for future reference), for these kinds of things you might want to consider blending in and/or also using sound patches that are rougher, edgier. These are all "nice" sounds individually. A post I make from time to time is about a critique I received that changed my whole way of approaching these. The screener said "I'm not forwarding your song. Not because it isn't nice because it it. I'm returning it because it's too nice.". That helped me make a transition from stuff that still had New Age roots to stuff that embraced Electronica a little closer. I'll add to the positive aspects of this piece. The main thing is that it's a very good piece for what this stuff is mostly used for... background to some kind of scene or scenerio. It sits back, sets a groove and moves along very nicely without anything really busy being in the way. It evolves without distraction and that's a key thing for this kind of stuff. Anyway, good stuff. Dave

Much more dimensional, great mix. the drums seem to pump and breathe more; in the good , driving the rhythm way, not the mis-applied compressor way. Pull the ripcord, this one's ready to drop!

Wierd man. My dload lasted 19:03 with dead air after 2:46. I don't suppose you selected all for the mix down and had some muted stuff that lasted to 19:03?I do like the mix and I like the bells-xylophone sounds as the lead. Tastefully done.

Might want to check your final file and re-upload.

You nailed it r-man. Sounds good to my ears. And I got a lot of stuff sorted out in my head during that 16 minutes of silence.Cameron

This is brilliant, I love the feel of the music, it's quite mysterious/oriental, and now you mention boat.............Great work
