oak, maple, ash = as our Elizabethan poet Andrew Marvell says

My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires, and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
(and now my interjection)
this glitch-out bliss
so full of trees

v focused - as the left hand slowly moves outta sync with the right creates some cool dissonance - def rewards close listening

hello Z ya ol starfighter pilot - propelling ambient energy

some synchronicity - i;ve been listening to some Spinners, O-Jays, and Four Tops this morning cause i was deeply in need of them grooves on a blue Monday - no lie - this keeps some strong vibes going - many thanks

determined - galactic - heroic, Math - great storytelling dubmission

Jamie hello! - this is a massive treat - fusion/jungle/lounge - as always, yr music is like a fine wine - so immediate and smooth - with complex and ineffable harmonic structure

impressionist sound-painting at its best - silver, gold, red, brown, and black - the sugar in the leaves head back to the tree - enduring

yearning and beautiful - i think of Karoli from Can - much respect

echo ark - supreme sculptural art - the epitome of electronic music - waves of limbic awe and joy - seriously

oceanic arkytekture - Eshar rising like Venus from the deeps riding a bass - always and always beauty + respect

documentary music - the gentle ##### of rifles as the bells slowly chime - the NWO is established - the resistance needs this

this is drop-dead gorgeous music - total respect

good as your word - uplifting grooves - respect

wes montgomery with a severe hangover - truly cool blue improv - ya got that nice round tone very sick - respect and fav'd

a crushed bouquet - best outro EVER - metal to the petal

scary and beautiful music that truly embodies yr theme - personal and universal - human, mortal, touching - down to earth and elevated - i think you captured and expressed a lot here, my thanks and respect for your music

terrific - nv is a elemental - great arrangement

open-ended and serious exploration of your theme - repays attention and i can't hear any elements that should be stripped, it's a matter of attention and it all works

soul, man - perf + production = great songwriting - uplifting in the way only downbeat music can be - that's right on chemistry, bro - many thanks for your music

hello Delaylama - that big-ass flanged lead really works - i really like a lot of chip/game music and your expanded palette rocks - much respect

i really dig the loop + live playing interaction - the soundmesh is great and i will be looking out for further developments - much respect

this is incredible - massive cyberphonic orkestral sounds - masterpiece bro

hello J1K - man this music is what makes the loop essential - this is some chiming climbing beauty

Elaine - nevermind genre - this is not playing it safe - this has so much heart and guts and soul - and life - like a 'specimen' butterfly popping off the pins a fool put in her wings as if that could ever stop her from flying - beauty + respect

ok i listened to the NOTLD 18Aug2011 tracks as a set so the fav/comments apply to all - this is insistent uncompromising and punchy music - it's got a defiant aspect but at the same time yr the one pulling up the fallen and helping the poor drunk home - and that sensibility bleeds through these tracks - a varied palette but it does create a damn cool and unified persona. Total respect.
