Very pretty.
There are a couple of spots where the delayed signal confuses the flow, like right on 30 seconds, but that doesn't happen often.
Lovely tone and an interesting band.
Cheers

We like it Scott.
This could be part of a soundtrack for a sci-fi western movie.
Your tone is excellent. Those two amps and mic nailed it.
Although your midi work is way, way above our production pay grades and understanding we thought it sounded excellent.
Well done,
J&B

How about Opus Magnificus, Scott? Call it anything you want, and it will sound as sweet. Hey, that's a rephrasing of The Bard. What a captivating tone, man. Great job on all that background stuff too. Very supportive.

Scott...Great piece...I like the ethereal feel of the synths...your guitar has a haunting quality to it...kind of a "spaghettis western" sound...The Good ,The Bad and The Ugly, For a Few Dollars More, etc. background soundtrack...very cool!

Very captivating title takes me to paradise, the beautiful melody moves lively in the cool instrumentation. I really like the synth landscape, reminds me of Kitaro.

Lovely tone and an interesting band. Thanks Ray for checking out the song. I'll check out the delays between the different tracks and see if I can pin point what is different. Some of the loops and midi instruments were providing there own delays so this might be wear you are hearing the inconsistencies. Glad you liked the song. Hi Scott
Very relaxing song
The name fits well
Great guitar sound and played with a lot of feeling
Very good work Scott
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Thanks Andi for checking out the song. This song was actually created when the temperature outside was -30 C. The wind was howling and I was dreaming of a warm island with a blue lagoon. Glad you liked the song.

A pretty nicely composed piece. Lots of nice elements, and a soothing well played guitar part.
Good stuff.

Very enjoyable mood music!

I've been away for several days, but this was a good one to come back to! Very inventive piece. A lot of neat sounds in the back with a beautiful guitar up front = hard to beat.

Hi Scot,
This is beautiful music.
In the beginning I really could imagine being in a blue lagoon.
But this music could also be used for a movie about nature.
Love it!

Thanks Dan My keyboard playing comes and goes in cycles. Really glad you like the song. This song kind of feel together pretty quick. I think the new 2022 styles helped this on along. Very captivating title takes me to paradise, the beautiful melody moves lively in the cool instrumentation. I really like the synth landscape, reminds me of Kitaro.
Janne Thanks Janne for checking out the song. I was not aware of Kitaro thanks for the comparison. I am listening to him now. Very pretty music

Outstanding tone and chops backed by the perfect backing tracks.
Janne mentioned Kitaro and I agree with him
Loved it.
