Chris! Short but sweet. The first thing that came to mind was Nights in white satin. The flow and polish really stand out. Great work here.

Hi again, thanks for checking this out. I'll actually be posting a version of this sometime that a guy in Bolivia sang on. All the best Chris.

Reminds me of Ennio Morricone - this is beautiful - I cannot fathom that you could possibly need to change anything

Hi again, I had to google Ennio. Interesting....Danke said it sounded like a Tarantino soundtrack so maybe there's something to that. And yeah, I'd probably spoil it if I tried to sing but that probably won't stop me lol. Cheers Chris.

I don't know, man. I think it's perfect just as it is. It would be a good interlude between tracks on an album. I think, though, that if there were vocals, Beth Gibbons would be the only option. Actually, on my third listen through, I can also hear Gilmour and/or Waters as well. In fact, this does have a very Pink Floyd feel to it without it sounding like an imitation.
Good work as always. I like the way you do things.
Take care.

Kia ora V, nice to hear from you as always. I had to google Beth Gibbons but then it said singer from Portishead and of course I know them. I've been hearing a bit of Nick Cave myself but there you go. I'll take either. Hope to catch up on some LM listening in the next day or two myself. Cheers Zoot.

This is so cool, it almost feels like a trek across an arid desert. Constant visions and mirages of oasis, water just out of reach! Great stuff man, would be very interested in hearing a vocal on this at somepoint too ;)
Zootman
Zootman replied 25th May 2025 - 1 year ago
I like your desert vision, in fact some of the words I've been writing reference just that. So we'll have to see how that goes. I'll probably ruin it with my vocals but hey ho. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Chris, that's another beautiful track from you. And as always, it strikes me as absolutely cinematic; it exudes the expansiveness typical of your work. I feel like it reflects the wonderful, expansive nature in which you live. The mix and master are also super transparent. Great work.
Best regards,
Micky

Hi Micky, thanks as always mate. A few other people have been saying 'cinematic' too so maybe there's something there. Been away a few days so hopefully catch up on some listening myself soon. Cheers Chris

Although the sound is real contemporary and very well put together to a beautiful song, there were times that the Beatles came in my mind. This is something good for me and please by no means consider it as something else.
Very well done.
My regards, Anthony

Hello Anthony, I'd never complain about anything, let alone a Beatles reference. All the best, Chris.

Very good track, very well arranged. Great vibe. Hope you put vocal on it, but even without it it's great song. Cheers!

Thanks mate, here's hoping I get around to it. Sometimes I struggle to produce lyrics, it's my downfall, caring too much about words. Cheers Zoot.

Yeah here's hoping I can deliver something when i get the chance and finish writing some lyrics....whenever that'll be. Or maybe someone else will come up with something. Cheers Zoot.

Man, it was surprisingly hard to play in 3/4 time lol. It's a weird strum pattern. Cheers man, Chris.

Hello Zootman, just listened to your latest track and found it interesting and pretty imaginative and definitely open to some vocal enhancements....I look forward to that. I think its gonna be dam good if you proceed with vocals.....good work brother.
Zootman
Zootman replied 19th May 2025 - 1 year ago
Interesting is probably a good way to describe it. Hopefully I get around to doing the vocal. Thanks for listening, as always. cheers Zoot.
