Don`t know how I missed this one earlier...but I miss a lot of music time this time of year....even though its totally unlike it, the intro reminded me just a tad of an original oldie (shuffle blues) called Night Train (used to play covers of it it days long gone)....love the big breat power & complimentary train sound fx....and the way you have wrapped it all up musically with the chugging synth and bass pulse...Its been said already, but this is indeed really creative stuff mate...and it turns out to be great listening music too....bravo....definite fav...Ed

wow......this is really good HalfHuman....you surprised me too...it is just a very good song, thoughtfully composed and nicely played...great vocal by A.J...and you accompanied it perfectly....bravo....a new fav....Ed

Its a wonderful thoughtfully composed and expertly played piece of music Gramo....don`t change a thing...enjoyed the listen...Ed

Oh man I really like this one Rico...I just posted a comment before but it went into space..I`m enjoying listening too much to offer useful suggestions...sounds nice and crisp...highs are great and everything seems nicely placed in the mix...kick is good & fat...not sure about the bass??...I`m just listening with my old Sony MDV-600 phones and they are terrible on bass (great on highs)...I`ll be looking for a download when you get it the way you want...but its a fav now too....great job...Ed

A tip of the hat to you for taking on a project like this E.R...and then getting all those people and their sounds to live together so well.....and it is a really good mixing job that accomplishes that...its a hell of a big mix and yet everything seems to play its part and even with my older ears it really sounds nice and clear/clean....so I certainly dont think I could make any observations that would improve on what you have done..I`m not familiar with the genre..looks to be limited fairly hard but thats what a lot of the style seems to demand...so the fact that it sounds really good tells me you got those mixing skills down to a T....great stuff.....keep on...Ed

Hi T.G...first let me apologize for calling you Scott in that replay I just did on my attempted R&B mix...I had been checking out some stuff over on Scott`s page (and I`ve only had a couple of the local beveriges)...your new axe sounds like it knows its way around T.G and you obviously know your way around it too...funny thing...even though it bears no resemblance to anything Moody Blues it brought to mind some of my first impressions of one of my all time fav groups (showing my age I guess) with the combination of orchestral backing & guitar...I`m guessing the keys were in the original clip so I cant suggest you take it out and let a walking around bass & backing pads be the backing....like that musical imagination on yours T.G...and your creative versatility....keep on...Ed

He had a really good blues jam mix to do his thing with Joe... good Sunday afternoon entertainment and a couple of laughs to go along with it...keep that bugger over there...we dont want him loose on this side of the water (but if he escapes, send some of that music with him).....cheers...Ed

That transition to the last section (around 2:00) is great Carole...but so is the whole performance....So good to hear that talented voice of yours again...its been a long while....Bravo..Ed

You just provided me with one of the strongest reminders I have had in a long time of why I find the real creativity that my mind seeks on LM and like places that offer a musical forum for the real stuff....superb bit of musical art guys...love that fretless Dave...but the whole damn thing is just so good..and I like the passage of time vibe...I find myself paying attention to everything thats going on (and the production makes that an easy task)...bravo.....and I`m smiling cause I realize I can still get that experience most of have had that confirms what remains possible when musicians get together..(aint been on my radio for ever)....Ed

that is some great keyboard work Scott..like the stand-up bass..I`m not familiar with the original but I certainly can hear the amount of detailed and talented work that went into this mix...I could get into this style very easily (even though I haven`t been exposed to much of it in the past...its the kind of music that seems to draw your attention to each instrument as it does it part...great job on this Scott...much respect....Ed

I think its all been said Spiv....and by people much better informed to comment than this ol boy....you seem to have gained the uniqueness that many artists would strive for...and its the kind of thing that demands attention from those who absorb the intricicies of what you do...Its really interesting listening....a tip o the hat to you....Ed

Hey Eighteen.....this is really creative stuff...makes me appreciate places like Looperman where we can listen to innovation and the kind of non-commercial creativity that the radio never lets us hear... the vocals/choirs are on steroids....that bass is nuts....different in the best of ways.....a tip of the hat to you....keep doing it..Ed.

I see I missed this one (and a lot of other favs) while I was out playing in the sun...I`m thinking you were having some fun doing this one...when our first little guitar band was done I recall playing with my Brother`s group and they had a keyboard player...what a difference it makes...a lot more versatility/options...but I could never talk my fellow players away from covers & into something more creative..so its a nice treat to listen to the result when two musicians travelling different roads get something together...Just a nice cruising kind of vibe that carries you along with it...good listening out my way TG....great stuff....Ed

I`m glad I got off that motorcycle jamid...I had jumped on behind the girl but there was nowhere she would let me put my hands when I was trying to hang on so I jumped of again.....it is a tragic ending and a sad day but for the slim hope that she will indeed leap from the back of that hearse...Man...you really nailed the whole vibe here...a fine listen and I have nothing to add that would be helpful at this time...great job jamid...Ed

really like the intro and the build up to the big power that follows...really epic...carries the dramatic yet suspenseful vibe really effectively...I began to appreciate orchestral music (and the use of string sections) quite early on in my listening exerience so its always seemed impressive to me...you did it really well on this one EYEDYE...usually the cellos can carry enough bass without anything else but I noted E.Rs comment on bass...It might be a bit challenging to fit in with the low strings but if you give it a shot, maybe try a very low subby type bass with a short sustain so it doesnt wash into that frequency range above 100hz or so too much...I think your low strings/cellos? are centered somewhere around 160 but my ears aren`t as trustworthy as they used to be.....I like it as it is though & really enjoyed the listen...a very impressive bit of musical work...I wouldn`t want to discourage you taking a shot at vocal additions but its stands well on its own too....well done...Ed

its picture painting mind bending good stuff Neomorpheus....I was at some after-parties a few decades ago where we would have just put this on repeat play and listened for the rest of the night....fantastic bit of musical art....I could listen to a lot of music like this...thanks....Ed

I`m just jumping on behind her and figuring out where I should hold on...haha....really like that section that kicks in somewhere around 2:30...nice prog....way to go silverman...a fine ride much enjoy...Ed

Thanks for letting me tag along Pat....some of the finest key & sax playing I have ever had the privilege of playing along with...look forward to the next one whenever it may be....You should do a couple of reviews/comments on other tracks & get this one bumped over to the Featured track pages....Thanks again...Ed

the journey is too picturesque and interesting for me to sleep to this one Orlando...you are indeed a master of painting musical pictures for the mind....superb piece of art here...as usual....Ed

Hi TG...I`ve been away from the music for a while (the good wife may have to phone the cookie truck to come & get me soon)...but stopped by for a quick listen and just had to log in to leave you a big well done on this one....nice backing and the guitar is sounding real smoooth...its all good...I`ll just take it for a spin ...comes with a smile.....keep on....Ed

If I were having a bad day I would just need to stop by and listen to this...or any of your tracks...and things would be o.k.....there have been rumours of peace here and there but I`m not sure all the tribes on our wee planet have ever been totally at peace with the rest...perhaps some will listen to this and be helped on their way to finding peace...just a great track Orlando....I am away from the music for a while but just had to stop by for a listen.....Ed

ant4505...having a plan for the music project...the composition ideas...the arrangement, instrumentation, an how it will come together & sound in the end etc always pays off ...I am not a good example of that for I just compose to have something to play guitar to most of the time and am not very patient.....good for you....it sounds like an interesting project...keep it going...it always pays to take the time...Ed

I definitely like it Stacey...nice job on your vocals and harmonies...you have the vocals and accompaniment fitting together really well....great sounding piano by cellofficial....what did you use for the drums...I like the natural sound of the kit....great job.......Ed

You have indeed found a really big talent in Lisa Richie..really like the keys too (I think this may be the first track of yours I have listened to where the keys are the instrumental focus...man they sound good...warm & fat)..the quiet organ bit works better that a pad would have considering the rest of the arrangement..production is all pro...you and Lisa can take a well-deserved bow after this one...I`m clapping....Ed

you really nailed the situation you describe jamid...I like the mix of emotional and the light/higher sounds and the way your composition conveys the sadness without being overpowering down...like the ending idea (although I think I would have left dead silence right after the gun shot)..nice job on the mix too....enjoyed the listen...a big well done to you...Ed
