Check out the next one. It has more of a "I woke up happy as can be but now I realize for the first time I'm mortal" feeling. At least that's how it strikes me. Let me know how it strikes you.

Here is my semi-monthly take on the visuals that this piece would accompany. The song is, in my opinion, a piece that starts during the last 2 minutes of the movie and fades up for the closing credits. I imagine the final scene with a mother watching her children on a playground after enduring a severe crisis earlier in the movie, or perhaps a long shot of a ship raising its sail after the protagonist (who is sailing it) is aquitted. I liked the up beat which utilizes a dark sound. I also appreciate the fact that this song is 100% computer generated. Nice work. I enjoyed this one.

Loved it. The transitions reminded me of the opening to the Simpson (the changes not the composition per se). I totally dug the pace and enjoyed how the horns brought you back to a nice place after the faster parts took you to crime ridden neighborhoods. This is soundtrack quality in my opinion. I can picture it in a movie where some guy has 30 minutes to find a key, turn off a black machine and save all of humanity. The horns show us images of everyone that will be saved doing their everyday routines while the faster pace shows the dude jumping from rooftop to awning and into a crack house. Nice work once again my friend. Ok….just got done listening to this one in a large room with tons of reverberation. Loved it.

I played this track for several of my friends and they loved it. I think what I like most is how the tempo change with guitar track (45 seconds or so into the tune)doesn't change when you think it is going to. In other words, it carries a bit longer and adds a cool dimension. Plays out well. It is just an all around catchy piece of work. By the way... e-mail me an address that I can reach you at for non-music related stuff.

After I'm done with a piece I've usually listened to it to death so I don't listen to it for a while. I remember listening to this one after a few weeks and being surprised how much I liked it. BTW, in case you couldn't tell, that was Brenda on the vocals. Thanks. After I’m done with a piece I’ve usually listened to it to death so I don’t listen to it for a while.

I'm glad that all the drum tinkering paid off. I mean I usually spend hours messing with the drums which I wouldn't have expected, being a guitar player and not a drummer, but maybe that's naive. Perhaps I need to work on the drums so much precisely because I am percussively illiterate. Cool! I’m glad that all the drum tinkering paid off.
