Well Orlando, I may have been away for some months and something's don't change....thankfully, your music is still as good if not better than ever! As usual I needed to have 2 or 3 listens before commenting, your intro addition really sets the scene, leading you so nicely into the main, there is almost an Enigma feel to it, vocals sitting perfectly and almost an hypnotic beat throughout...and I don't know about too long, it flew by for me, but you are the master of producing long tracks that grip you all the way through! I am now with Belter Radio and this will be on my playlist as of now. Great work Orlando and so good to hear your work again.
Take care my friend and my best wishes,
Mark
Welcome back on my page Mark...It's been quite some time since your last review here...so glad you're back!:)
I'm so grateful for your kind thoughts and supportive feedback on this one!
It's very interesting how very few people recognise the clear echoing of Enigma, but you got it rightaway. On the other hand I have to say that resemblance with Enigma wasn't intentional...it just turned out that way. But then again, this clearly shows how different musical influences sneak through our subconsciousness..:)
Also nice to know about Belter radio and that DJ Mark is running his shows on Sundays...I will surely be listening.:)
Love the big ambient intro. You're really good at creating soundscapes that just flow together seamlessly. Now we got the drums coming in so I can now hear tumbleweeds influence. You both work really well together. This has a kind of pink Floyd vibe to it and it all works really well.
I really like the piped sounds in this and that subtle vocal is a nice touch as well.
It's pretty epic at just under 9 minutes but you carry it through well and keep it interesting throughout.
Really nice piece Orlando.

Many thanks for listening and for this kind and supportive comment...I always thought it sounds more like Enigma than Pink Floyd, but it's nice to know you found some floydish colours to it.:)
hi, this is some excellent ambient. Definitely different form all of what I am doing at the moment but very unique and really 'eastern'. You are offering some mysterious soundscape - I can entirely dive into it.
Alex
Yeah...sometimes even musicians turn into Santas...:)
Thank you so much for accepting your Christmas gift with open
hands!:) Happy Christmas hollidays mate...
Your deepest work, without debate...I had to listen it 3 times before write and say thank you cause I showed this to my 8 years old girly until she was watching Puppies at Ozone Network and she slowly went asleep...when she woked up she said: Pap, show me that song again, it was very dreamy and fairy-tale...

Spiritual and natural...you guys are the Masters of painting pictures in music...
The present and the future's new composing duel: Tumbleando
:-( Hah...
Thanks for this materpiece...and yeah, I forgot to mention those 2 low notes around 0.40 or so...magical beast...
Congrats and shake hands to both of you with my best Christmas wishes!
Omg Danke...you're scaring your children with my music...haha,
just joking...that's a huge compliment ofcourse and the invention of Tumbleando is hillarious, but many times we really think (musicaly) as one person, which is incredible.
Thank you so much for this incredibly generous feedback and ofcourse for the dl and fav'...
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family.:)
an epic, cinematic feeling hear. a rich tapestry of mythic imagery, ghosts included of course. beautiful sounds, beautiful mixes. you guys are ready for the movies. best of luck promoting this high level, professional work.
Intro Blends into the main theme extraordinarily well my friend. This is just an awesome collaboration. I had a DVD from a few years ago called True North, and it was spectacular scenes of the north wilderness with amazing new-age music in the background. This track my friend would belong on that DVD no problem whatsoever.
Great work my friend.
Steve
Very intense and deep stuff.
Listened to the whole piece and it really feels like a journey,a proper journey.
All the elements gel perfectly with each other.
The arrangement(yes the arrangement)its really subtle and clever as it triggers some emotions that not too often other pieces do(at least with me).
The concept behind the piece alone as described by you is amazing.
Very nice piece of work...lots of flavour in this with just the right
amount of space, to make it all happen...
I just got a New Car a 14 Maxima Dressed for highway rollin...
Bose Sound System that is as, clean as the Board of Health...
Got to try this in there...
Wow, how the heck did I miss this one? I always know when I hit play that I am going to hear a professional mix, and you did not disappoint. But you did something else, you managed to compose one of the best songs I've heard in quite some time. I think TG said this was a highway song, and that is my thought exactly. Since I travel quite a bit to see our granddaughter, I will download this one (thanks for that) to help all those miles pass by enjoyably. FANTASTIC WORK!!! This track belongs in a movie my friend. Happy holidays to you and your family Orlando.
Haha, Barry...you didn't miss just this one...you actualy missed
quite alot of my newest stuff (with Ed on board) like for example this one: http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/161805 or maybe this one: http://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/162598...ofcourse I'm joking and I don't blame you for that because I know myself how hard is to keep the track on all those tons of material here on LM...there's just not enough time for everything..^^
But foremost I'm here now to say big thank you for your generous feedback and I'm really happy that you appreciate the track so much.:)Just drive carefully if you put that thing in your car stereo...I also wish you and your family happy holidays.:)
Ghosts, celtic stuff, no way I'm missing this!! :D I believe it was Ireland where they found "Deviant Burials", skeletons believed to be vampires by the unusual way they were buried/abused after death. Interesting documentary on you tube about it, the mystery of the vampire skeletons, or Strigoi. Inspired a whole project for me. I also saw a documentary about the existence of small people like fairies or lepracauhns in Ireland and the possibilty that the myths are for real, based on archaeological discoveries. Spirit world, something I'm fascinated by! Thank you for this pleasant treat Orlando and Ed, fav'd :p
I'm glad to know that we finaly did something for you.:)
Your fascination with spiritual world is more than obvious.
Many thanks for listening, great comment and the 'fav'!
Greetings. What a long and involved track! Reviewing it feels a bit like the challenge of reviewing one of mine, except it's shorter. Definitely reminds me of some of my stuff though also quite different.
Other thoughts:
Nice initial intro but that low hit on 0:40 sounds like it should be the intro to the whole thing. It's just a neater, more compelling start. Some good clanging stuff then and a big, powerful soundscape.
1:24 cool, glacial pad and vocal tone slowly seeping in.
2:10 shimmering synth thing. Then some beautiful strings. That's the first Irish sort of stuff I hear in this.
3:17 vocal very beautiful.
3:32 finally a beat and it's a good one.
3:52 and beat gets fatter, as I'd hoped for. Thundering bass heavy "world music" that reminds me a little of a guy on here called n0mad23 (no relation to me).
Powerful, evolving soundscape stuff to get lost in. Some elements are a little like Enigma. Remember them?
5:44 a note and tone I really like. Makes a big difference.
Surprised not to hear any Tumbleweed guitar in this.
7:00 hats drop and we hear the tone of those drums better.
I'm quite familiar with this sort of sound and really appreciate it but don't love it. Would probably like it more out at some sort of chillout club or festival rather than for home listening.
Hi mate...I must say I'm really grateful for this comprehensive feedback (I wish I had less tight schedule and some of your special passion to be able to do the same detailed reviews on other people's work, but my decision is on investing those precious bits of free time on making more music than anything else).
Yeah, this is now one of my longest tracks and I'm glad you found quite some elements of it pleasing and exciting although it's not quite the stuff for your home listening, as you say.
