That's a really great story behind the song. I find creatives tend to have things "come to them in dreams" quite a bit and I always love seeing the results! Thanks for sharing. Thanks Ember for your kind comment  Dreams are a good source of inspiration for me. Janne

Marvelous opening! Cool sounds and killer guitar.
Terrific melody. Your chord progression, too. Nice vocals. The drums are excellent.
Everything works to create an excellent sonic landscape. Good mix.
You kept my attention the whole time.
I really like this.
An excellent piece of music.

Janne,
A big sound - I like the changes and epic feel of this. The lyrics (far more literate than Grunge!),are cool.
The rumble ending fits- and the mix very good.
Robert
Thanks Robert for your kind feedback Epic feel, glad you thought so, I was chasing after that. Yep, not so grunge lyrics, unfortunately I remembered only the title from my dream  Janne

Very cool!
We enjoyed all the cosmic references...they are clever and engaging.
The melody, the vocals and the progressions are really good are the solo guitars.
Excellent use of RT's and they are presented in a fine mix. Great soundstage on our monitors.
Enjoyable!

Janne,
I like this a lot. It has some very cool Bowie-like undertones...
Excellent production and arrangement as well.

Janne,
The opening is very great!
It is fit for the beginning of the story led by this mysterious dream.
Guitar solo is very nice.
In spite of rather harder rock sound, your originality is expressed properly.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi
