Good to see you again Mike!
This is a very fun song, especially since you added some of your own playing to the mix.. I'm always a big fan of that!
I also really like the style you used... all in all a very easy song to listen to! Thanks for posting! And now that you're back, I look forward to hearing more from you!

Mike,
An interesting mix of instruments. You did not mention what loop(s) you used (new BIAB loops?). For the length of the song the loop gets a bit repetitive. The drums are mixed a little low in comparison - if they were a little more prominent, they could "help" the loop (maybe takes turns to break it up a bit). The sax and guitar are cool. And the pads...

Nice work Mike. Like the strings/pads and how easy the song is on the ears, very comfortable.

Cool tune!! Serenity seems like an unusual title. That title makes me think of mellow strings/flutes, and some exotic Asian instruments. I would call it EXCITEMENT! Nicely done all around! Take care. Greg

fj Hi FJ, yes I used new BIAB loops: - Chillout - chilly_night_80_drum_loop_a_minor ev16 and for bass: - Soul - chill_100_bass_d_minor ev 16 And you are right about the mix ... totally redone this one Thanks for your input! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12986926

Greg LOL re the title. Too me, excitement can bring about serenity as well - hence the title Thanks so much, Greg!
