Not this late, no.

Some excellent playing and licks. Especially liked the slide guitar towards the end. I think I would have preferred more melodic cohesion between the different sections.

Good, that's a much appreciated advice, I understand your point.
Thanks for your reviews

Cheers

Wonderful vocal articulations and delivery. Excellent flute playing as well. This type of call and response style was a great idea for the theme.

thank you very much for the review and for the vote!

the 'why' is sometimes missing and this is the annoying part of the story. as long as there is a 'why' & nmcot, it's alright. of course, everybody should be allowed to write, if he or she likes or dislikes something, but i want to know why.

That's my point. Sometimes, the "why" is simply: "I don't like it", "not to my taste", or put more politely, "not my cup of tea".
Music can be enjoyed at many different levels, and we wannabe musicians sometimes get too lost in the technical part of it. Sometimes, you can pinpoint exactly why you didn't enjoy a song: someone sang out of tune, or a particular sound was too strident, or too distorted, or the delay goes for too long, or it was mixed too hot, or the stereo space is messed up (notice the geekiness ). But sometimes, a song just doesn't speak to you. There's nothing technically wrong with it, but at another level it just cannot be appreciated by one set of ears, even though it might be the most beautiful thing for the set in the next chair. That's the beauty of it.

Yeah mate,

i understand quite well, what you're saying, but my problems with Folderol's comments to my songs is a long lasting pleasure now. i have nothing against critical reviews, i even like 'what a crap' reviews more than nmcot reviews.

if someone detects problems with a song it's always better to inform the author as soon as possible. it's not funny, when you read:"i would have voted for your track, if there wasn't this noise and the not working download link" and you can't do anything anymore to solve the problem, because the person's vote is already in.

and now peace and

c
