Song Name: Echo

margot (12 Aug 2008 03:02 AM) being English I guess I have folk music in my blood...This sends shivers through me, folk music generally does...Marijan, this is wonderful, your vocal`s sounding so heartfelt and the music is just too good...A wonderful listen for me... peace n love mags

airmeki44 (27 Jul 2008 05:46 PM) Marijan, what a wonderful celtic-folk ballad. Great story-telling style singing; a voice so full of inspiration and enthusiasm. Great harmonies. Wonderful how every single instrument compliments the others. Great compostion, great production! Heinz.

reapersg (18 Jul 2008 07:36 PM) Marijan...a most excellent piece, very well crafted and arranged. your vocals have a nice deep resonance and that fits the folk style so very good. guitars as always sound rich.

FocusPlayer (18 Jul 2008 05:18 PM) Nice work. A cool celtic folk sound.

Serious-Music (18 Jul 2008 03:49 PM) Ich bin die Erste, das ist schonmal gut. Und das Stück ist ja mal wieder vom Allerfeinsten. Recording is first class. Die Drums sind vorzüglich und ich krieg schon wieder den Drang, einen Text zu schreiben. Mari, ich bin besessen von Deiner Musik. Für mich gibt es (bis auf einige Monstersongs) nur Deine Musik, die tief in mein Herz geht und auch drin bleibt. Deshalb bin ich auch untröstlich, dass mir der Flop mit "Der Totenführer" passiert ist. Mache ich aber alles wieder gut, wirst sehen ... Silence of the night, höre ich Dich singen.... ECHO ... fantastisches Stück.Liebe Grüße von Deinem Fan + Freundin Inge

Song Name: Down by the Elfin Spring

Kephas (11 Jul 2008 06:32 PM) Yes...another Marijan masterpiece... I wonder how you are able to produce such masterful works... Your music is profound - and that is understaing it... This track has the trademark, crystal clear, full-of-charecter vocals...the guitars sounds so sweet....the production is flawless as usual... Another sublime piece, by a master musician-poet... Awesome...

Serious-Music (17 Jun 2008 01:22 PM) Da hab ich heute mal Zeit und klick mich durch die News. Was muss ich sehen? Mari hat einen neuen Song hochgeladen und ich weiss nix davon. *Böse bin*. Tolles Mari-Stück - super Instrumentation und wieder kommt die Sehnsucht nach einem Mari-Inge-Stück. Ich hab sogar eins, wo ich nicht weiterkomme. Alles fertig, Text, Akkorde, Melodie usw. Zurück zu Deinem Song: Sehr gut gemacht und die Monstergitarren sind ja mal wieder klasse eingesetzt. You are a (my) great master of music, Marijan. It sounds so wonderful. Inge

Mike-K (10 Jun 2008 09:37 PM) Marijan, with this tune, you have invented a new musical Genre: SMOOTH METAL! :) Seriously, this is a really fantastic tune! Love the elements in this one very much... very orchestral, rock and folklore mixed tune. Very enjoyable. This one will be on my show this Saturday Night Rocks! Mike

reapersg (10 Jun 2008 11:17 AM) Hi Marijan, this is an exquisite piece...so well performed and produced. folk gone rock..I like that. this is an excellent track and I totally enjoyed the listen.

selftort (10 Jun 2008 02:13 AM) Great to hear your music again, Marijan. This is a delicious piece. Love the atmosphere throughout. The strings and the choirs add a real sense of majesty to the track. I love the lushness of the strings and voices in the intro. Your vocals are, as usual, just perfect for this and the electric guitar work gives it an amazing sense of power. Loved it. Cheers Brian

Dazed (09 Jun 2008 08:40 PM) beautiful piece Marijan. kind of reminds me of medieval folk gone rock. love the melody and the harmonies. On the second listen now. Like it a lot!

Vesa (25 Jul 2008 10:04 PM) Been awhile I think...like this classic tune, so bright & crisp. The vocal is so strong & well toned. You put life into this fave tune. Like the acoustic mix. Good production. One of the most refreshing renditions of this tune. Truly. Worth many listens to this emotional felt song. Great artistry. EXCELLENT**** -Your friend. -Vesa.

margot (26 May 2008 12:44 AM) Marijan, Irish folk music always has the effect of sending shivers through me and this one, sung by you is no exception...Wonderfully expressive vocal and truely wonderful music...Very, very enjoyable... Peace n love Mags xx :-)

selftort (22 May 2008 09:15 PM) Lovely lush production of a traditional folk tune. Love the way this builds instrumentally from the solo harpsichord (?) to the full kitchen sink of strings, choirs and the like. Wonderful vocal performance Marijan. Excellent selection of instrumentation. Lovely work. Cheers Brian

bluespckr (20 May 2008 06:57 PM) Hi, Mari -- This song is so well done. Lots of emoyion in your vocal and some absolutely lovely guitar work. Nice clarity throughout. The mix of strings, flute sounds and so on just add nicely to the build of of the song.

Gabriel (03 May 2008 09:58 AM) Hi Mari, Just discovered your page (so where have I been...lol). Love this piece. Great opener, marvelous guitar work and vocals. Love your style. I'll be listening!!!!

Carol Douglas (27 Apr 2008 03:29 AM) Mari, this is a beautiful interpretation of Christina Georgina Rosetti's poem. I reckon she would be extremely impressed and flattered if she were alive today....added to my Favorites. Carol.

richj (20 Apr 2008 05:57 PM) Lovely song. Love the guitars mixed in with the subtle wash of elecronica. The rhythm develops well as the song progresses. Oh yeah, brilliant melody! Cheers Richard

Jims Artificial Eart (20 Apr 2008 04:11 PM) Beautiful... I could not imagine anyone doing this better. Powerful, reflective, and profound. Peace, Jim

reapersg (20 Apr 2008 04:02 PM) awesome beginning Mari...your vocals are so resonant and you sing with a great confidence. Very emotional performance and a super listen for me.

Serious-Music (20 Apr 2008 04:30 AM) Hello Mari, my great guitar-friend, this song is very deep but it is a wonderful song. Vocals and instrumentation are first class. The guitars are so great and heartful, I had tears in my eyes while the listening. Very good job you have made and think we should work at a new song together. It will time for us. I think so.

Rasmuth (19 Apr 2008 08:11 PM) cool song my friend...I download to play on my Nexus radio Show!

Song Name: The Star of my Dreams

Carol Douglas (07 May 2008 07:02 PM) This is an extremely lovely song Mari, very powerful and moving, in the chorus and especially towards the end. I love how the melody twists and turns unexpectedly, and your vocals are stunning. 20 out of 10...and another one saved to favs! Carol.x

KOR (18 Feb 2008 01:34 PM) Very very nice tune. They vocals are so good as is all the instrumentation.

Rob Grant (17 Feb 2008 11:51 AM) Very pretty song.....great vox. It does a have a little Kitaro feel......in the flute. It's a little celtic at times....and I LOVED the chorus. SUPER VOCALS!! GREAT JOB!!! Really LOVED the haunting guitar solo. VERY TASTEFUL and MELODIC. The song has a lot of Genesis feel too. Hoping it's up for DL :-) Rob

FocusPlayer (16 Feb 2008 06:15 PM) Lovely - kind of a Kitaro intro feel - but with your smooth vocal - and sensitive lyric, it's quite a love song. Nicely done.

Carol Douglas (27 Apr 2008 03:22 AM) Can't understand the words but the track makes a great listen...happy, authentic folkish sound all round. Nice coming across something like this here. Carol.

Syngularity (02 Apr 2008 07:12 AM) Marijan, wunderschön, fett und akribisch wie immer... bin ein Fan Deiner Flutes und Gitarren und Deiner so hingebungsvoll und authentisch vorgetragenen Texte. Schöner, romantischer Song!

KB Bren (01 Apr 2008 07:33 PM) As usual, you've got me tapping straight off the top! Nice done and recorded. An enjoyable listen.

syntopia (01 Apr 2008 06:48 PM) Einfach Klasse, viele liebe Grüße :-)

Markyone (01 Apr 2008 12:10 PM) The people pain, literal translation. Loved the German folk feel. I spent time in Austria and can remember some good nights. Really enjoyed this one well done

stu (01 Apr 2008 05:16 AM) this kinda takes me to an interesting place..? sounds very traditional and, yeah i agree with Rob... very 'worly'. what are the instruments..? i only ask because they sound very precise, and i think i woulod like it a bit more 'messy' love the vocal and the vocal harmony, and well... lets face it... i think i think this is a very goos song.. :) cheers.. nice stuff.

Rob Grant (31 Mar 2008 09:44 PM) Marijan, you quickly become one of my Favorite Prog artists. Actually, this site has become a "Prog Heaven" of sorts......in that, it's tough to find Prog anywhere, but it's so GREAT here. I love the worldly sounds of this song......EXCELLENT JOB, Friend! Rob

Neda (18 Aug 2008 06:41 PM) WAS FÜR HARTE KLÄNGE VON MARIJAN!!! EXELLENT MUSIC! Neda

PYRAMIS (29 Dec 2007 04:43 PM) Excellent edge of darkness vibe to this tune. ****-kicking mix,sharp as nails. Good to see you here on IMS,Marijan. Peace, Tsargoth

syntopia (23 Nov 2007 05:30 PM) das ist genau die Musik die ich immer machen wollte :-), großes Schulterklopfen, und Hut ab. Ich möchte keine Vergleich mit Bekanten Deutschen bands ziehen, aber dieser song steht denen nichts nach. Großartig. Viele liebe Grüße -Sven-

FocusPlayer (15 Nov 2007 11:14 PM) "Sinister" yeah, good choice of words Dazed. - As a lyric guy, I wish I had a translation - as a vocal guy I'm impressed with the clear power of the vox. - but what I like best - is how effective this is without any clutter. It's a pretty open mix with just enough stuff to convey all kinds of feeling... Now, all this praise will be pretty funny if the lyric is actualy all about "Hello Kitty" ( us folks from TN can be fooled heh heh )

reapersg (15 Nov 2007 10:07 AM) Intro just come out and hits you in the face. This is pretty heavy and dark. And the vocals, in German sound really cool. the ending is great with the two voices.

Dazed (15 Nov 2007 07:47 AM) sinister rhythm and vocal track :) love the edge on this tune and a catchy hook even in a language I do not understand!

bluespckr (16 Jan 2008 05:26 AM) Dead-on review Rapster. Kind of a Chaucerian mode, huh? Hmmm ... Sir Geoffrey meets Ian Anderson! Interesting thought. Nicely done ... an intelligent song from start to finish. Cheers, Paul

reapersg (15 Jan 2008 06:38 PM) I should just copy Rapsters review, he nailed it on this tune. Marijan, you are an amazing songwriter!

rapster (15 Jan 2008 05:44 PM) glad i stayed a bit longer marijan.. saw that you just now posted it.. didn't want to miss this one.. this is very english sounding.. troubador music.. a travelling minstrel.. a bard entertaining us with his song but also evoking strong emotions.. his story captivates our fancy for we can all relate to tales of love and passion.. what a great story you tell here.. I love the vocals in the chorus.. and the guitar is tasty and lyrical.. thanks M.. a powerful song.. cheers.. :-) man you know what? it reminds me of JETHRO TULL bro.. just occured to me.. awesome.. :-)
