There's so much happening in a well textured and classy manner.

It's hard to believe that one fertile mind can sit down and produce all this himself. It really sounds like it took a studio room full of musicians, engineers and a producer.

Your workflow on something like this would be really interesting to watch.

And then to base it on a 10th century fairy tale - how cool is that!?

To top it all off your vocal and guitar performances are stellar!

Yeah, we liked it. A lot.

Hi J&B.

Many thanks, you two, you really are too kind with your review.

About workflow? Ry Cooder once said that he'd spent 40 years looking for a groove. That simple comment made a great impression on me and now it's where my workflow always starts. I like to spend a lot of time with rhythm and the way the instruments interact, often just on a single chord before the chord sequence is established. After I'm happy with the groove and the progression, the melody follows and then all the bits of ornamentation. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and I think the important thing is to know when to walk away and learn from your mistakes, rather than waste time trying to rescue something.

Anyway, so pleased you liked this one!

Cheers, ROG.
