I think we have the same approach to metal, very symphonic and original, love all that is happening, the audio story telling is great, structure really well thought out, great production, this is my kind of metal, great job.
I've always enjoyed intellectual metal that does more than just cuss and talk of rebellion. It is neat to listen to all the talent on this site that mainstream metal could really tap into and benefit from. The amount of originality a person can find here is staggering. I have much respect for those, such as yourself, who keep pushing the envelope. Thanks for the review, BigPete. Kper
Hey Kper.
I must say that you've done a really great piece of work with this one. The intro is setting the scene and mood of the song in a perfect way. Leading towards guitars with a sound that fits like a condom. The synths and the drums are pretty much flawless.
Instantfav.
I almost feel like I gotta start reading those book you read.
Keep these coming man, totally awesome.
Thanks for all the support. Nice metaphor- that's a new one for me- :-) I'm trying to find the time to invest in all this but it has been tough. Thanks again. Kper

Wow. Thanks for the kind words. Creating music is a way to keep my brain pliable so I always enjoy when others enjoy what comes together. Thanks for the review, ThatcheR!
I had to listen after seeing the title. It's very cool that you based the music on an internal image - something I do as well. I like how the strings reflect the Imperial Aesthetic and the metal gives the 'foundation' of the reality of the place. Nicely done.
Sorry for the late reply. That internal image give me a framework to work off of- otherwise I'd be all over the place. You must be a reader of the books, which is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to review. Kper
Thanks for the review. The official name is "Metal:The Ultimate Construction Kit." This is a loops and samples collection from Sony Creative Software for Acid. It's been a great sound series to work with since I have no guitar or drums talent. Highly recommended. Got mine on Amazon. Thanks again.
Hey Kper - this song reflects the two different sides/personalities very well. And I really think its fascinating how you're able to make the two totally different pieces to fit so well together.
Bravo..!
Sick track bro ... regardless of me producing hip hop tracks and chillout beats most of the time, I absolutely love listening to Metal and Hardcore grooves - you definitely got some skills my friend and thre production value is awesome. Nice job with this track. Keep em comin'
Thanks for the review, J Dot 2006. I enjoy listening to other styles as I can pick and choose some of those elements to integrate in to my own music. I will definitely be checking out your tracks. Thanks for the kind words. Kper
I really like the fact that you've drawn inspiration from something you read in a book... it says a lot about non-linear thinking. This was really cool, I love the progression with the strings and guitars up to that crescendo. Enjoyed this loads.
Thanks Lisa. I suppose using a sci fi book as inspiration reveals my nerdiness. I'm hoping to keep going with this and try some other songs inspired by people and places in the book. Once a nerd, always a nerd. :-)
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for taking the time to review.
It couldnt be said any better than Toddj did it. I loved the setting with the strings and the piano along with the guitars.
And the part with only strings where the guitars come in was pretty awesome.
Bring me more of this!
Thanks for the review, Steinaa. It means much because it comes from someone whose work I admire. Keep putting up those tracks for me to get inspired from! Kper
Splendid! You've perked my interest in 'Foundation.' The planet Trantor sounds intriguing. I liked this arrangement. Very artfully done. The Piano opens this piece up nicely and then the metal hits. It paints a picture of metal beauty. The strings and piano set well with the metal guitars. I like the little break with the strings. It builds up into wonderful climax. It makes me want to fear and respect this planet Trantor.
Thanks Toddj. I have much respect for your ability to create soundscapes in your tracks. I try to do the same but just in a different genre. Thanks for the review.
