Victor.

Thanks very much for the listen and comments, Victor. Glad you liked it and I'm pleased that it had the desired effect. Good to see you back here again

Lovely Tim. Just perfect after a very hot day....

Got some great subtle effects happening...
Those pads are sublime.
The bass at about 5:00 is fabulous...
Top track.
Well done!

This works very well...I love slow builds.

Opening ambient pads were starting to sound just a bit flat, (quite distant with all that reverb)...and then the faster moving more obviously melodic elements entered....just at the right moment..perfect...much more up front in that sound stage to add depth to it all.

Damn sight better then anything JMJ produced on his recent Oxygene 3 effort! :0)

Good to see you back here again, Geoff. I hope you had a great Christmas and New Year break, although it already feels like a lifetime ago after a heavy week at work. Thanks very much for listening and commenting, mate. Glad you enjoyed it

Post-festive could be the next big genre thingy

I agree with the comments about the "tidy" glitches. Very satisfyingly clean. This piece would do very well accompanying some kind of video, maybe a silent documentary sequence.

How about a cream soda with vanilla ice cream?

Thanks very much for taking a listen and commenting, wolf. Glad you enjoyed it, and glad it had the intended effect

The pads are from Dune (v1).

i like the mellow feeling in the beginning.
But i did feel a bit drowzy after a while and wanting for sleep. but that's prob what you aimed for

You set a real nice mood with this piece. I really dug all the little subtle touches like the little stutters and squeaks in the background. The pads are sweet. Nice one!

That's probably a direct consequence of the Missus' favourite phrase:-
"Clean up your area"

I think it's one of the BT Stutter Edit presets, using the note-off to rein in the chaos before it gets me into trouble.

Thanks very much for the great comments and undeserved namechecks, justin. Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks very much for listening and commenting, John. Glad you enjoyed it, and glad the atmosphere managed to survive the extreme climatic transition to your part of the world

Pads brought to you by Dune, and the bass is PPG Wave2.V

My English teacher warned me off mixing metaphors. Taking him literally, I assumed that his proscription excluded reverbs

I haven't actually listened to this, but in my experience, these belated "sequel" albums often fail to rekindle earlier sparks. In any case, I'm sure the comparison is undeserved.

Thanks very much for listening and for your kind words, Mark. Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks for the great comments, 9k. Glad you liked it

I will soon be starting work on a new piece, written with a specific piece of still artwork in mind. Usually, imagery comes after the music for me.
