Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: Aug. 08 2012, 21:36 Absolutely fantastic artwork Phil   I love the concept, And the way the sunlight flickers through the wooden monoliths/triptics. Like an ancient dawn striking across the plateau and all is calm. You've even got the platinum butterfly involved Somehow   A very nice picture indeed, well done mate   Back to top

Ginger Daddy Group: Members Posts: 401 Joined: April 2002 Posted: Aug. 09 2012, 15:51 lol, the picture isn't as good as the music IMHO. I love the soundscape and the guitar is exquisite. Not sure about the slow build at the start and slow fade at the end... I understand why they're there but they did seem to be a bit long for a standalone track (but probably quite brilliant on a concept album to lead into the next track...)

Milamber Group: Musicians Posts: 2275 Joined: Feb. 2010 Posted: Aug. 09 2012, 17:04 Just listened at left comments on SC... That's a cool track mate....Terrys right on the intro it's a little  disjointed..works better at the end.. But the main melody and guitar work are very nice and well done indeed. I always like your solo's where you hit the odd string a bit harder and get that rasp out of the note...It's your trademark   Good work mate.   Back to top

Philippe Tavares Group: Members Posts: 1613 Joined: Feb. 2005 Posted: Aug. 09 2012, 17:21 about the intro and outro  i wanted something like ..let's say we are in the past close to woodhenge and there was a ceremony or something like this with tambourines and flutes with outdoor effect with forest wind and birds sounds and then comes the the track itself and at the end the same but then we go far gradually ... hope you see what i mean about the flute and its 5 notes it's only a "reprise" of what the synths plays a little later in the track ...

I like the way you pluck the strings harder in some parts and the sound it makes. Back to top
