Mike,
This is really well done. A delightful listen.
A great flow as instrument come in and out. The acoustic guitar figure is quite nice. Nice piano & oboe (are you playing those).
Excellent mix.
Everything about this is good...

Nice work Mike! I really enjoyed the overall tone of this and rhythm is easy to follow. The Oboe is a nice touch to piece it all together. Well done!

That surely took some time and thought to put together and to wrap it up in such a nice mix.
Like floyd we'd love to know who's playing what!
Kudos on everything about it...

Thanks for your comments. Coming from you guys, they are certainly appreciated. RE: who plays what: I am not set up for audio recording so I usually work things out on my guitar and then input the melody etc on a very old 'dumb' midi keyboard. I also use this input method for particular parts/sections/riffs/fills for various instruments and drums I want that RealTracks cant provide. I then manually tidy up and embellish the parts and assign them to the instruments I want. The French oboe, some bass guitar bits and the lead guitar (plus effects) in Lost For Words come from the Kontakt library. Sometimes I'll take a RealTrack transcription and change some notes to suit my piece better. RealTracks/Drums: RT2262:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm 80sPopBallad Ev 085 RT1610:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Pop16 Ev16 110 RT701:Bass, Electric, PopHalfNotesSync Ev 085 RealDrums-JazzFunkPop (variations). The very tasty background guitar licks on this track are from Michael Thompson (RT1637). Thanks again for your interest. Mike

Mike,
I like the layers of sound and instruments coming through to solo.
You`re midi skills are impressive and the composition well thought out.
Very good!

Quite a nice melody Mike.
I have to admit that I found the centre a little annoying when it became crowded with little licks and touches. The left side seemed a little less occupied - or that may be the ear I'm slowly losing.
Nice melding of RT & Midi mate.

Hi Mike,
This is an outstanding listen. I love your arrangement and orchestration... it sits very, very comfortably on the ears. As others have already noted, the flow from instrument to instrument and section to section is smooth and leads the listener on a seamless journey.
All the best,
Noel

Very nice, Mike!
Love the arrangement. Very well thought out. Everything has its place. I can see this as a background track to scene of driving through the countryside in a movie, or for a travel video. Very well done!
