Martio,

You own this genre! Yoiu always have the right touch to meld those wisely chosen tracks into a kaleidoscope of majestic reverence.

Your guitar work shines
The percussion tracks offer a resilient bed to carry everything else.
I love the synth that hovers over everything so gently, yet with a velvet-wrapped punch of measured energy.

Hell ... I love it all!

Nice one!

Take care.

Alan

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mario,

Your MIDI production skills are on full display here.
The slightly Latin-style rhythm and languid melody are reminiscent of Smooth Sunrise.
This is music that only you could make.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanx Shigeki for this very kind review. With a little imagination and MIDI/RTs I think anyone can produce and music genre in BiaB.

Your song popped up on Soundcloud after the first User Showcase song I listened to this morning. I hadn't visited the Showcase in a while and what a morning I'm having. This is a great song and performance Mario. I enjoyed it from start to finish.

Mario, You must live and breathe music as you are a very prolific contributor to the user forum. Love this vibe and I'm 'jelly' of your guitar talents!

The sand blocks are cool...never thought they could be used so effectively in a song. It also reminds me of 'Karate Kid'.

Na zdrowie!
