Originally from October 2010, this took 16 hours to record over a weekend. The composition went fairly smoothly. The July 2013 edit/remix/master was a lot more troublesome and lasted for 11 hours. A lot of the patches required modification to clean the sound sufficiently for publication. This track features quite a lot of automation relative to my earlier pieces

first!

thourougly enjoyed this one, tim.. dont know why, but the "music for the masses" album comes to mind. one of my all time DM faves, then there was those timeless mellotron choirs. made for some very nice friday afternoon listening. nice one!

That sounds great. I'm listening right now to a UFO documentary from the 70s and this piece would have been right at home for a soundtrack.

Wow, this got my attention for more than 10 minutes, I liked how it morphed from one theme to another, I guess you could call it a suite... "Seismic influenza" sounds scary, yet, respectful effort.

i often find it hard to comment on tracks, that i just totally like, because the music is so great and what else is there to say?

this is one of those tracks!

Hey seismic. I tried, but couldn't get into this one. I had to hit stop @ about 5:00 mins. Maybe the next one for me.

Thanks very much for listening and commenting, layzer. Glad you liked it

I love MFTM, but DM weren't my main influence on this track. The 'tron choirs should provide a strong hint

Fashionably early

I quite enjoyed the build up, very cinematic as it evolves, different for you but most entertaining!

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment, Moe. Glad you liked it

I can relate to the scientific documentary connection here.

I like this one a lot. I love that choir sound. This one's a keeper for me. Thanks, seismic1.

And I'm looking forward to that dirge (naturally).
