Wonderful track. Full of feelings and sounds. Great job on the mix. A supreme delight to the ears. The synthesizer is great, without neglecting the other elements.

very nice, not laid back but laid back(if you know what i mean)
slight Tangerine Dream feel in parts, but musically superb, one of those pieces that make you feel part of it and move you along together
ecxellent:)

One word comes to mind when listening to this one....SMOOTH...

There are many reasons you are considered one of the best on the Loop, and this track illustrates exactly why.

Great composition, great musicianship, great production, great everything.

Fabulous work by both of you....and don't worry about that transition, it actually didn't detract from the track.

Bravo maestro!

The title caught my interest due to current events. I don't think I can add to what's already been written here except to say I am inspired and will spend some time listening to the rest of your tracks!

hi jamie
If the external acoustic noise to penetrate into the ear, they share a number of molecules in motion, and thus form an inner picture.
I close my eyes and out of the picture is a story.

Dang, there are some nice chords in this, really beautiful track. You got the big guns adding some tracks? Can't wait to hear the next version! You played the piano tracks too? I'm just starting to play again after 30 years, very rusty but this sounds like you are pretty decent on them. This is a great track Jamie, thanks for sharing.

Plkay bro...you are going to tell me what the heck is an Elephant Guitar. Does it have a trunk or something LOL ! Serously I love how travel can inspire us to make some pretty cool indinenous stuff from stricly memories and experience. Great guitar harmonies and feel. AHhI think I hear the Elephant Guitar you were referring to. Nice effect...sounds very "Elephantish" Awesome job bro ! - Bilbozo

A very nice tune! Quite Egyptian, definitely. The track keeps getting better and better after a minute and there are some great, uh, keys (?) in the background around 2:00 - 3:00. Guitar also sounds nice, I really liked some riffs. Keep up the good work!

This is a master's class in everything from great guitar work to production. So many superlatives come to mind, but none of them seem worthy of a track this good, so all I can do is stand and applaud this effort.

The change around the 3:30 mark is freaking magical. That guitar tone.....wow. Shades of David Gilmour.

My God man, this is good.

Bravo.

Thanks for the listen PMK - It would be great if you and the other guys who were involved in the project also posted up your tracks - that way we could all get some idea of how it might have sounded!

another to my fav's list, if your wondering what maybe giving this track and the one before it the odd breaking up of your signal within the tracks i would bet its overloading of certain inputs of fx and or reverb plug ins. not every plug shows or gives an indicator of the levels coming into or out of the plug in. if you have any plug that just show you levels via a visual dislay place the level metering plug before and or after the fx plug on a certain track that may sound to you like its breaking up at the peak of the sounds dynamic range. place a limiter before the plug to but in saying that a similar type of thing is more than likely going to be present at the limiters input. this is happening on your fx placed on aux sends not the fx you may have placed on inserts. dial back the amount of signal on your aux sends till this stops being present in your tracks. the level metering plug in placed before the effect on the send will show you how much signal you have to reduce but your ears can fix this without the need for it really. im pretty sure thats what is going on here, better to send a moderate signal to a effect from a send and bring the effect return or output fader up more in a digital environment of mixing and recording than putting a hot signal that clips the effects input to make your effect stand out. its quite a common problem that happens making tunes in the box with effects that dont give you level readings. great track tho hope these tips helped ..........................!1X1!....................

really like this its a great peace of music as i myself am not musically trained i have to give my respect to the few who get through all the years of practice makes perfect and still are able to create their own original works instead of just being able to play what others have done before them, but play it well. always liked the egyptian and easter scales for their hypnotic effect so this grabbed me right from the start. the fact that the production is right up there among the best i have listened to here, is a big hats of to you my friend. last but not least is the guitar magic produced here on this track and you nailed the sound as well as the skilled playing technique right on the head. if anything you listen to from my stock pile here appeals or you hear riffs while listenig in your head im total opening the book to say go for it to any of my work. so much want to add guitar and bass in with my own works. IN BUBBLES had a friend of mine playing on it, but i cant nail him down to do more, he's busy with his own stuff anyhow. ill be back to here much more you have on offer here. my works past and present can be found at soundcloud many are still developing they should stand out as being more minimal in nature to finished tracks. PISTON which you reviewed of mine is a skeleton track to which ill work on more but a good example of the fact i like to get thing presentable even at an earlier stage of development. its good for the listeners who prefer more minimal listening adventures than the layer cakes my ears love so much. top stuff anyhow.. forgot to mention after all that that the stuff at sound cloud is mostly 16bit/44khz and open to download too if you do like a track and would like to add to. bravo im a fan will fav this and download if possible.........!1X1!...........

Thanks for the listen & the comments XLanDer! I checked out your Soundcloud page and had a listen to a few of your tracks. Yes I'm up for working with you on something! The track I like in particular is 'Space hopper' I can "hear" lots of possibilities with that! Give me a shout via my contact page (we need to arrange file formats etc)and we'll go from there.

Cheers, Jamie.
