I thought this was lovely!

Personally, I like the earlier version, with the longer, sparser build up. Very atmospheric.

Really love all the versions, but the most recent 'Sans Taiko Slower' is my favorite. Take this with a grain of salt, but it seems like you could back off the delay even a bit more on the Koto. Maybe it's just the headphones, but for me it takes away from the authentic sound of the instrument to hear the echoe delay at the ends of phrases. That aside, though, I really love this piece... very relaxing.

I think it sounds pretty good and fits well with what the listing is asking for. Good luck! 8-)

Very soothing and relaxing. Nothing jarring or at cross-currents.

I hope you get a forward! Good luck.

Very cool..... I would maybe lower the piano chords behind the stringed instrument ..... they seem a little loud..... especially in the beginning..... like the original speed no taiko best...

Good luck!

Peaceful Geo

I might just add that the version of a track that we might like or prefer sometimes is different than the version that's closest to the listing requirements. I recently made some edits I wasn't crazy about for a project. I preferred my original version but the guy (company) I'm doing this for had different requirements and so I had to change my track up a bit to meet those requirements. If/when it does eventually get used I'll probably be pretty happy about having made those changes. ;) :lol:

Thanks too all of you. Dave, I will yield to your experience on this one with no expectations. Wish me luck (if you believe in that sort of thing:))
