definitely that old school rockin that I loved from back in the day. I like the hard groove and also how you chill it out a little in a second section. strings (I think) is very nice also. nice work.

powerful piece. full of feeling. the voice sounds great. really moving guitar work. mix, everything first class ( imho). keep going! regards, Dan

nice guitar work. really sounds great. nice mix also. hope you have found a collab for this one. regards.

your stuff sounds real good. real nice up front mix of the vocals and everything is crystal clear. nice work!

nice strong groove. good mix also. guitar solo was a trip! nice work. hope you find your vocalist.

she has a great voice. nice job with the mix and all. it's a nice song. enjoyed. cheers!

Paul,

It is fantastic. Very challenging and interesting to listen to . I don't write in this genre, obviously, and I would not have a clue how, and really can't comment intelligently on any technical level. You are focused on a whole different set of techniques, skills, etc., with this electronica, and you seem to have a handle on it. Keep pushing the envelope and keep up the great work, Dan

nice "EL&P" style synth solo midway. nice playing and solos throughout. thoroughly enjoyed.

i know it is something of a backdoor comp when folks say it sounds like . . . such and such. but I think about wether report, and pat methene, and tower of power, . . . i never had the time to listen enough to those groups cause I was practicing the dam oboe for orchestra jobs!(so I don't know how accurate the comp is) but i am grateful you are writing this stuff now so I can enjoy it! peace.

man - this one is just to sit back, and relax, and unwind with for the duration. not for the internet (quick soundbite) generation though! the playing is superb. each section following chorus had some special interest and color. beautiful stuff.

dam! i've probably said this already but there is a real art to keeping a groove driving for a good long time and working it, embellishing around, coloring it, and maintaining interest - more than that - really developing some insane narrative. you do that man! forgot to mention from "satellites" because it happens here also - when the voice comes in it is startling but fits perfectly and really adds. as far as critique goes, well - . . . was thinking there could be additional drama wrung out from a wider dynamic range - changing up with louds and softs - but really - I am stretching to come up with my "constructive feedback" comment. your writing is really great. congrats!

finally got around to downloading "without any reason at all" this is the first track I listened to. what a head trip. by the end was totally given over to the groove. cool stuff.

your orchestration is fantastic. I think the drums create a very strong foundation in this piece and sound great. i like when you bring in the flute sounds (bottleblow?, shakuhachi?) - very effective new color. as usual you create a strong dramatic feeling in your music Marko. it is really great. at the beginning the strings seem somehow "outside" of the rest of the mix. I have been experimenting with "audio busses" as a way to bring tracks into the same "room" and share same reverb. great work!

the way you recombine, reassign the lines keeps up the interest, and you create a very unique, introspective mood. again - very trance inducing. might explore different reverb options on this one. i guess piano may not be your final instrument choice, but the piano might sound nice in a "hall" or "stage"

nice surprising finish - after the repeating motive throughout is effective to depart altogether at the end with something new. nice trance inducing work! keep polishing sounds and blends I would say.

totally rocks! great feel and mix. you must have some rasta blood in you!

it's great to hear this solid (and very) mellow masterful playing. really takes me back to a feel and a feeling from the day. like the mix, the introduction of the flute sound (bottleblow?) was perfect. thanks.

you set up a nice feel - interesting sounds and mix. the wave is interesting - sort of sweeps away your composition I guess! keep going!

very light, airy feel and groove - truly chill. nice break about 2 minute in when you give the beat a rest. lets the music (and listener) catch their breath. good luck with your collab. should be interesting. regards - midisparks

beautiful sound textures,and mixing. you are always bringing in a little something new to hold interest. when the voice comes in it is very magical. congrats on your work! keep going! look forward to hearing more. midisparks

beautiful song and beautiful delivery by the vocalist. congrats! midisparks

beautiful sustained writing. have not heard such a nice use of oboe sound with strings in a long time. vocal sounds great. like your string writing a lot. not just sustained background, but punctuating throughout in a very idiomatic way. very dramatic, nice work. criticism? okay - keep playing with the mix for additional interest (but really that is just icing on the cake!) this is great work. regards. Dan

i was definitely feeling the movie! wonderful writing. nice sense of strings articulation - this is not something so easy to achieve. subtle use of tympani. good brass blends. and wow! that drums section - very effective - what a change up. hats off to you. look forward to exploring more of your work. regards.

it was a very smooth transition into the slow section. all of sudden I was there! good job. the midi samples for orchestra have really evolved over the years and you might explore, for example, ARIA sounds. keep it up. beautiful work!

that break where you just have the drums beating away and then the basses come in, just the basses with the drums, that was real effective for me. the ears perked up. nice writing. nice dramatic feel. keep going!
