Castles in the Sun is my latest song submitted for the winter 2009 Kara-Moon Review. As always constructive criticism is welcomed.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Mario,
The link just takes me to a sign in page not to the music, am I missing something?
Edited portion . . . Is it because I have to login as a member?
Later,

Mario.......
Very nice, I like the soothing pads, sounds like a good mix to my ears. Sounds almost like something they play when I'm getting accupuncture done.
Good job

Nice mix. Cool spacey sounds too. Good job Mario. I expect to hear that next time I'm at the spa.

Great song Mario! Well written, well played and well produced. When I close my eyes I can almost see the National Geographic documentary on, let's say sealife, for which this song would be perfect! Top job.

Sorry people, I didn’t realize the Review forums were closed forums. You can hear Ice Castles in the Sun here:

Hi Mario,
Good orchestration, mix and instrumentation. Sounds like a movie sound track.

Nice composition, Mario D. Relaxing, but more than that IMHO. Almost like a human voice struggling to break through. Good guitar line, too. - Jepster

Hi Mario, I have a collection of "relaxation" CDs where they overdub music with the sound of nature - rainforests, seashores, whale calls etc. Your song is as good, if not better, than anything on the CD set. Congratulations & well done!
Cheers, Keith

Mario, this is one very assured piece of music, perfectly balanced and with much thought going into how it develops and much research in the lead voices (talking of which, that is one strange sound in the opening part!).
There are some interesting chords making the piece slow but never boring, and in particular I just love the drum sound here.
I could easily see it being used either in documentaries or ads.
So make that a thumbs up from me. No. Wait. 2 thumbs up…

Thanx Keith for the very kind words.
What “relaxation” CD set do you have? I have a nine CD set called “Nature’s Magic” by Listener’s Choice”, from Metacom.

Thanx mglinert for the extremely kind review. This one did take me a considerable amount of time to complete. I’m still not totally happy with the guitar part but I sent it up to see what the responses would be. So far so good By strange sound I’m assuming you mean the lead line? That was a sound from Kontakt 3’s synth collection called Cold Cave. I thought that sound fit quite nicely in the soundscape. The drum sound is called Electronic from the VSC-DXi Sometimes that little freebee has just what I’m looking for FYI – the drum part as well as a lot of this song is straight from the BiaB New Age 2 style.

Top shelf Mario . . . Like others I feel this screams "soothing background" for a film of some majestic animal swimming in crystal blue water.
Ya Done Good, again!
