You rae off to a great start AngelDragon...big fat mix...nice and clean with all instruments right in place...I think one of the reasons why it could raise a question about 'Now what?" is that there are just so many options...Any of the individual instruments in the mix has the potention to pick up a transitional melody line & take it in whatever direction...a big sweeping angelic (but sparse) verse with just the basic orchestral instruments...violins & cellos?..stepping down to a wave of calm in contrast to the dramitic 1st section...or even take that little guitar line and make it an ambient transition....Just my off-the-top reaction...but, the main thing....keep it going...May be worth putting it away for a day or two & then revisiting....(I try to do that...but it keeps me awake at nights some times..Haha....).....It will get to the place it is supposed to be.......Ed

build your own instrument and play your own song...I dont think you could get any more original and unique than that Spiv....(I have done it with guitars...but thats not about to produce some kind of new unheard sounds haha)...I couldn`t honestly say its my kind of music...but I just had to have a listen and pay my respects to an artist who really is an artist........Ed

It sure is good enought to post S1lver..I was missing the bass until it hit that 2:33 mark where it fills out a lot better..a little repetative but a nice clear mix and some good uplifting music (end was a bit abrupt???)....sounds good to me....keep doing it...Ed

I haven`t heard the original fotisg...it reminds me a little of some of the darker metal as it has quite an ominous feeling...the reverse sounds seem to work well in giving it a mysterious feeling...nicely produced.....Ed

very interesting the way you used the pella almost like an extra ambient instrument melody...really works in creating a special atmosphere...ambient music if often quite sombre ...but you have a really good listening uplifting composition here Simon...really enjoyed it...a big well done to you...Ed

Amazing job on those lyrics (very emotional...powerful) and you deliver them with that smooth style that I really love Kenny....great job my friend...It really was a priviledge to do some music with you.....Bravo......Ed

I was doing some listening on the Loop and just had to log in to leave you a few words on this one Killimineye....interesting the way it came to be...many of us could take lessons in clarity and simple goodness from this one...It is a beautiful song and your friend has a beautiful voice...and you accompany it effectly..with just the right choice of instrumentation to let the vocal shine....Much respect to you...and to the young lady who did the vocals you produced so well...great job.......Ed

Chillout with a lot of soul TG...really nice sounding drum kit...did you use youir guitar volume knob on that part around 1:50...great idea....nice soulful chords & fat tone....very nicely arranged....another fav for me...thanks..great job...

Oh Man...What have you done here...this is beaming in from far above anything I have listened to lately (and that listening seldom involves a radio)...wheather or not you intended it...Your brain has soaked up the whole Floyd vibe...the force is with you Aaron...I was going to hit the download button but its not there (I totally understand why)...This is a version of ValVedriVer I really like...and while the more usual you does a lot of great mixes...this one is stellar man....comes with big emotion...a ton of feeling....(oh love that organ bit too)...but you likely know I`m a Floyd fan..... ..awesome.....definite fav from this ol boy.....Ed

I like it X....nice intro with the organ ..I`ve been using NI`s B4 vst (old version) for organ but just downloaded a free one called ORGANized Trio that is pretty impressive for a Hammond type sound...a bit unusual and really good to hear the use of brass in a electronic style mix...give it a different kind of classic spin...that bass part around 2:55 is great...really interesting arrangement..its almost like some of those classic sounds/styles have been brought up to date & given new life....great track...much enjoyed....Hope the Winter is treating you well over there (I mis-spent a couple of years down the road from you in Glasgow)......Ed

That sax is something special M...its not an instrument that we can play well using a vsti and its always a pleasure to hear when Reiko (or Dan) do it....Patricia always does something special with her vocals and you guys have put together some special accompaniament....great to hear the drums played by a real drummer too...Time to take it on tour folks...great job.....Ed

You have a fantastic clear voice Jeffierenee...good to hear a song done with this kind of diction...It was I very short listen but gotta say I enjoyed it...could listen a lot longer to this kind of talent....well done...Ed

I very big mix with a lot going on Prelude....seems to carry with it a lot of emotions.....well done.....Ed

for some reason I cannot get this one to play Promenade...it has happened before a few times on LM...I will be back later & try again.......Ed

very cool intro...dam Kenny....you underestimate yourself big time...you`ve got the voice for this kind of stuff in spades...love it...got that wee touch of smooth grit that cant be bought....great listening here..and I note you have some very talented company on the trip with just the right kind of contribution in the right spots...this is top notch Kenny....definite fav....Ed

interesting EB....I like the movement and appreciate the drops & transtions you have put into vary the listening...but I have to say in all honesty that I did find it really repetative with the same little progression all the way...its really hard to make a mix running over 10 minutes hold attention without a few more changes in either key prog or instrumentation etc...please take my comment as constructively intended EB..I have much appreciation for artistic effortss and would not want to discourage a fellow musician...Keep on doing it your way..........Ed

very chill...and some well chosen sounds to creat a cool laid-back vibe....enjoyed this one Riest.....well done.....keep on.....Ed

You definitely have the soundtrack Mark...there are some parts that I think would make it ideal for one of those fantasy or midevil kind of scene sets with the flute sound & vocal pads etc......big mix here...and all sits very nice and clear on my speakers...well...now that Winter is at its worst perhaps it will keep you inside and doing more music....your year is off to a very fine start.....Ed

I like the first part with just the flute and some reverb best....the delay/echo later does give it some rhythm and a subtle melody...it sounds very clean and light...my favourite flute part (from a long time ago) was the middle section of a song called "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues..I hope someone will add more orchestratiion to this one....keep playing and recording...the more you do it the better you become (and its not difficuilt to record well)....nicely done....Ed

Love this one Soren...you`re right this kind of chill really lets you get the expression into the melody...and you do that well here...I like blues for the same reason....This is just a superb piece of work...really enjoyed...definite fav for me......Ed

its got that good old soul sound with a wee sprinkle of the funk...great choice of instrumentation...the acoustic kit. walk-around bassloines, keys and organ give it a very real feel thats mising in a lot of todays R&B...very nicely done Musicante...with talent & composiutional skill .....and you have a lot of good company in the mix....enjoyed....Ed

let it not be said that midispark`s place here on the Loop is where you listen to the mundane everyday musical stuff...def experimental is the truest sence...with a sprinkle of funk keys..and a bucket of creative imagination..& that is an unusual key prog sequence you have going on...would have to be an acquired taste I think as far as listening pref goes but has to be tops of the year for the "Something Really Different" award....way to go midisparks...keep on......Ed

Great track domr....the vocalist is really good (so are the lytics)...has a very live feel and that is always a big accomplishment...well done....much enjoyed.....Ed

this was an interesting listen Anders....I just finished doing an R&B composition using Farisha`s same acapella (I likely wont post it this year)...you did a fine job my friend...I always find composing around acapellas a bit of a challenge but isn`t it nice when you find one that just seems to fit what you are doing....great fob...much enjoyed...Merry Christmas...Ed

I like it RPS...and house isn`t even on my regular listening menu...but this is a cut above...has a nice laid-back kind of feel (almost a touch of R&B)....haven`t listened to the original yet...those hits at 1;21 and 2:31 are really effective....well done......(PS: apologies for not getting back some comments on your last post...I always like to return review when someone takes the time to leave a few words on one of my tracks..but for some reason I just couldn`t get it to play on any of my browsers....)
