This kind of uplifting music with a great beat...just right choices of sounds and some thoughtful composing/arranging always appeals to me no matter what the genre is....its minimal enough to let the parts do their thing and full enought to be everything thats needed....and it aint raw my friend...its just right as it is...well done....Ed

well Riest...this one was a really nice Sunday evening listen over my way...like the way you varied the vocal from the ambient intro to the more up front sound when the mix hits its stride...(Marianna has a bit of the Sade vibe to her songing in this one...great stuff)...tasteful, minimal accompaniament, and that always seems to be a good thing for this style...bravo...you really did an excellent job on this one....Ed

hey Mark....sorry...forgot to reply to your comments on adding an ending part,,,,my head has moved on to other things...but if you are inclined to add a synth melody bit please feel free....If you want the rhythm backing I can render off a couple of the chorus guitar parts etc for backing if you want....glad you liked it enough to feel inclined to keep it rolling....Ed

nice ambience....the percussion really takes it in a different direction (in a very good way)...a bit of jungle...a good helping of natural soundtracky kind of feel....the processed/robotic kind of vocal bit seems unusual...some more of those vocal bits by Janis71 would really seem more in order (but I`m biased...she has such a great voice)...very interesting mix...and thats always good to be able to say when the airwaves are so full of canned stuff....well done Dan.......Ed

Glad to see/hear a new one from you Kyle...there is just something about the traditional instruments tastefully played that can`t be duplicated any other way...a well written song...delivered with feeling and talent and nicely produced (sounds really good on my headphones)...doesn`t get better than that....busy isn`t always a bad thing...but glad you can still find the time for the music...it will always be there for you when you catch up with it....bravo....well done Kyle....Ed

Hey Musicante....no fair,,,you have a plugged line-up again...haha...another fine bit of work and cool intro, it takes on a nice flowing live feel when the band just connect with each other...knew it would be good when I read your description...I was right again...enjoyed this one guys....Ed

o.k. boys...this one goes to the top of my charts....Mark, did you tame that LP a bit to get that nice warm singy stuff going on....contrasts perfectly with the rhythn parts...Great work (as always...on the vocal too)..I was just about to pack it in for the night when I caught up with this one....great way to end the day....and a great bit of music from 2 accomplished musicians........Ed

Bravo...this is how it should be done more often dgalantic...just the key instruments....the subtle melody that lets the mind easly absorb the whole thing...very precise and well chosen instrumentation,,...must say I enjoyed this one....visit thepart of your creative mind that did this one often & do more...its fav.....Ed

I dont know anything about Trap music arashinghbagri....but I know this is a very nice clean mix...all instruments produced clearly...and created with a good knowledge ...quite short...but well done....Keep doing your music......Ed

Any time I hear that MrFunktastic style I`m totally in the groove...The man is a big talent and a most generous friend with sharing the sound....I have to think Joe would like this one FR...its good ...some of those transitions are more like your own style (as it should be) but you def got the funk going on here...you just can`t sit still when this is going on...great job...and a fine tribute to one of our finest friends....Ed

I had logged out & was calling it a night when I happened to hit play on this one....just had to log back in to leave you a big well done Riest...I`m listening on headphones and the mix sounds good to me...nice and clean with all the dynamics (& not limited to death)....really a catchy subtle little melody...really nice choice of sounds and you kept it minimal enough so that everything pays its part well....Its good listening for my tastes...nice way to end the day for me....thanks......Ed

geez...DeLaBeatz....maybe you`ve discovered the way to get the message out...if this doesn`t get attention its gonna be hard to try and motive the bunch....creative stuff here...really like the idea of bringing in the different instrumentation...that big orchestra works great & contrasts with the synth line...takes it out of the usual...ending was a bit sudden..but I enjoyed this one....Ed

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
