this one is amazing. it could be one of the best samples ive ever heard in a track that vocal loop you used with the many different people talking about the war in iraq. very inspirational loved it!

very nice work here dude...the song kind of sounds to me a bit like Dream Theater's Sacrificed Sons, specially because of the speech on top of the music, and it's got a bit of a prog feel to it. Very nice editing work fellow! i never noticed a single chop or wrong sounding transition! congratulations

This is a soothing, laid back beat that captures your soul after the first few moments. It really fit the chosen vocalization. Good work!
