Hi Rob!
Welcome to the New Age Forum. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I really, really enjoyed
Grace Land. The combination of ethereal synthesizers and gentle electronica beat are my favorite combination in New Age music. This song rivals any song on a
Pure Moods compilation--and even surpasses some of them.
I realize you were attempting to build up steam in this song, but perhaps the cymbals towards the end were just a
bit much. A softer cymbal section (like the cymbals 3/4 of the way into
Abandoned, for example, may sound better.) Don't get me wrong...this song is wonderful as is. It's just a thought. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My 6 year old son joined me in swaying and clapping to this song, so it was a hit with him, too!
Remembrance definitely evokes the feeling of looking back, and considering what has transpired. Very nice. In the middle, though, there's quite a long silence--perhaps a tad
too long?
Abandoned also conveys mood quite effectively. I felt as though I was looking over a deserted canyon in the evening...with nothing but pterodactyls crying and flying overhead. Or perhaps, some alien world where a new arrival finds themselves alone.
Very nice work. Thanks so much for sharing your gift and the fruits of your labor with us! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Best wishes in your application process, as well.
(By the way, have you considered submitting these mp3's to some New Age music companies? If you're interested, I can give you the URL's to a few publishing companies I work with.)
