We recently watched the excellent HBO series Chernobyl.
This tune would've made an outstanding soundtrack for it.
Great job of giving the feel of chaos yet maintaining the groove.
Well done!

Hi Will, This is...  I love that bass sound. The backing really sizzles and the spoken narrative over such a vibrant backing is really well done. I found everything about this incredibly effective. I remember the Chernobyl incident. It truly was a horrifying time. You have captured the moment very well! All the best, Noel

Well done, I remember it well, it scared the whole world but apparently not enough. Music fit the subject matter, Peter Jennings' voice gave it gravitas. Thanks for listening, TuneMonger. Much appreciated! Will,
A well constructed atmospheric piece- the voice overs just long enough to give context and solo guitar raising the temperature,so to speak.
A stylish soundtrack to a very disturbing event.

Thank you for your kind comments, Robert! I'm happy that you could "feel" the context. That was my intention. Will

First off, great progression. There were a couple of unexpected "moves" to my years, but that so well fits the overall theme of the piece while still being musical and coherent. Second, the mix sounds good at mid-high volume on the phones, Lastly, the lead sections reinvigorated the piece very well.
I was hoping for a long, slow fade...but that's a choice made and I won't second-guess it. Very much enjoyed this. You are right about the long, slow fade... when I read this it immediately occurred to me that this is what I should have done... Anyway... I am glad that you enjoyed listening! Will

A nice composition Will...
About a very scary time...
I had to look up the date...
But I remember the events very well! I remember Chernobyl. That was a terrible accident.
I believe your song captured exactly what you said in your description. Adding the news report explained it all. Adding that guitar lead created a scary intense image of a scared individual.
This is an outstanding piece of music. Hi Jim and Mario, Thanks a lot for listening and your kind comments! Will

Hi Will,
I remember the day after this event, when we were staring at our garden from behind our window. On the radio was the message not using anything from out of the garden because of the radioactivity. Was a scary feeling. Today we were planning to watch a tv series about Chernobil...
Your song has a very good rhythm and tension in it, build up by the vocals. And then there came that excellent solo!
Well done, Will
Hans Hi Hans, It seems like I managed to get quite a few people to go down "the memory lane"... I've even received a few personal messages from Japanese people who unfortunately had the experience just a few years ago. Anything connected with atomic/nuclear power is just scary, because it seems like we are not clever enough to control it. I am glad that you liked the music! Will

J&B Hi Janice & Bud, Thanks a lot for listening! I have actually not seen that HBO series myself... my inspiration came from a documentary I saw recently... but it is on my to-do list. Thanks again for your kind comments! Will

I worked on the track for several days... I didn't consider it finished before I myself got that "insecure and scary" feeling when listening to it... I had to feel like that to get any hope of other listeners also to feel it. Thanks a lot for listening and commenting! Will

Hello Will,
oh my, I also remember that scary day very well. We all were so afraid ...
I think you really caught those feelings most of us had !
Hard to understand that after this desaster and Fukuasshima they're building new nuclear plants all around the world...
Despite the depressing backstory I enjoyed the listen a lot.
Really well done !
Take care.
Stefan

VERY clever Will. It'd make a great score for a sci-fi movie. Not too overcrowded either.
