Hi rayc,
Beautiful orchestration very rich and well thought out. Your voice lends itself well to it but a little more volume on this one would be nice. The lyrics are interesting. Like others, I find that the piece is a bit long. But otherwise it's a good job.
Kindly regard

I like the instrumentation and imagination employed here.
It's like a big sofa waiting for someone to sit in it.

We very much like the groove, Ray.
Pink Floydish as mentioned by others, but also like a mystical dirge.
Good lyric (we much like your “connect a few dots yourself” style), good band (love your bass) and it kept our attention the full length with no problem.
And the “punch add” to the snare and kick was quite successful. Not easy to do … at least for me.
Fine bass and a cool steel for sure.
Epic.
J&B
Thanks Janice & Bud, It was an easy construction and while it's still without the crowning lead guitar part I think the little piano parts care off about four different RT pianos really help thins thing along. Narrative wise is does go off in an apparent different direction once it hits wedding gown territory but the thread is clear to me and that's all that matters as you're correct "connect the dots" for the listener will probably reveal a much better story.
Cheers

Thanks JJJ, in my own tawdry defence I'd offer that the story took that long to run its course except that's a fib as the lyrics came well after the song bed was made. No defence other than that's what how it was from the get go.

Ray,
Very nice job doing the necessary surgery on all those Realtracks! (I know how cumbersome that can be) I think your track has a very Pink Floydish type of sound, and that you did an excellent job with it! As for the fade, I really couldn't say when the appropriate time to start would be. I appreciate all the hard work you do with your tracks and making suggestions to other forum members! You are definitely a candidate for forum MVP!
Thanks, T

Thanks, T Thanks Torrey I knew it'd benefit from Gospel RTs but had given up until the thought of "tuning" them occurred. it made a world of difference.

Rayc,
I listened to the O4 12 update . . . what a gorgeous opening. Yeah, a Pink Floyd feel to it, but you’ve made this your own with some great sounds that really resonate. I find the vocal a bit buried (though just listening over laptop speakers). Love the whole mood of this regardless; the music bed is outstanding—really crisp drum set working here that really pops. The length doesn’t bother me at all—it’s engaging throughout. Haunting in its way. Cool vibe, brilliant arrangement.
All my best to you,
Deej

Ray, Sorry late for the party. Very cool experimental tune. Lots of interesting instrumental passages, FX and and clever mix* with panning and delays. Good vocals! Honestly, I don't think you need a "vocalist" to re-sing it. It is way to personal for somebody to pick up and maintain the mood you imagined for 8 minutes. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that it is too long. I listened to it twice and it kept me entertained. My opinion is that your vocals, especially for this tune is very acceptable. The only thing, I would up them by 2-3db  and maybe that's just me, but I believe vocals are a bit dry, while the rest has airy feel. In any case, very creative project. Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Deej Thanks Deej, It has progressed a bit since that mix...the lead guitar track arrived, the planned singer dipped out, final mix done & sent to the M.E....who is unwell so can't do it this week. I'd post an update BUT the forum system won't allow me to edit the O.P. anymore. I've prep'd a video and will post the mastered version & flick when the M.E. is done.
Cheers
rayc

Thanks Misha, You're a guest who is never "late". My voice on this is quite raspy on the lower notes and this becomes very obvious with a rise in level. I'll have a look at the reverb levels and, perhaps, wet my whistle.
Cheers
