Epic piece ! Cool intro....big strings sound...nice melodic guitar ! Lovely sustained note on the lift off ! The vox is good but maybe a bit too much embedded in the mix. Overall excellent sound and a bursting lead guitar ! The orchestration is solid....drums sound to tight and small for this kind of music...need definately more room...make it massive and it'll def upgrade the impact of the tune ! Reminds me a bit of that great 70's Dutch Sympho Band "Finch" with the singer of "Tower" !
Puike track !

I like the Epic sound of what you do. Big but not clutterd. All the sections are very deliberate.

I love the sound of your instrumentation on this and another song I just previewed. Very well done. Yeah, the echo is a bit excessive to our ears, but it's not like some of the Euro-rock stuff I've heard in years past, and it's not particularly botherosn to me. You guys have a very creative flair.

This is one well-put-together tune. Solid, driving beat with fine musicians to keep it moving ahead. The vocals are very, very good, and I'm with DICARLO - bring 'em up in the mix a bit. The best of progressive rock is right here.

Haunting classic rock, good vocals and solos. I also like the build-up in the opening of the song. Has a bit of Toto feel here.

NICE INTRO WITH THE GUITAR AND KEYBOARDS. YOU GUYS WORK REALLY WELL TOGETHER. NICE BUILD UP INTO THIS STRAIGHT AHEAD ROCKER. THE GIRL´S VOCALS SOUND GOOD, BUT MAYBE A BIT TOO MUCH REVERB AND A LITTLE TOO LOW IN THE MIX. THE VOCALS NEED TO COME UP A BIT. THIS IS THE BEST MIX OF THE 3 SONGS I´VE HEARD FROM YOU, BUT THE VOCALS ARE A BIT BURIED ONCE AGAIN. WHAT´S UP, YOU DON´T REALLY LIKE HER VOCALS, OR WHAT? :) LOL THEN WHY BURY THEM IN THE MIX? YOU´VE GOT THE DRUMS UP WHERE THEY SHOULD BE ON THIS ONE. :) FROM WHAT I´VE HEARD THIS IS A GREAT CD, BUT YOU SHOULD REALLY CONSIDER REMIXING SOME OF THE TRACKS, AND GETTING IT PROPERLY MASTERED.
THAT WOULD GIVE ALL YOUR SONGS A MUCH BIGGER, CLEARER, AND MORE BRILLIANT SOUND.
BUT NICE MATERIAL, AND I´M GLAD PEOPLE ARE FINALLY TAKING NOTICE, AND YOU´RE GETTING SOME REVIEWS. :)

I di like a bit of prog rock from time to time...atmospheric intro, tastful leads and good old hard-core rock! Some great playing on this one. Nice!

Jack - completely agree with Dazed.... incredibly deep and engaging performance and composition. This was the song I heard again that triggered me into wanting the whole album. And I will get it! Can't ask for better prog than this. It's right here my friend!!! Peace ~ Blake

Jack - this is fantastic music. Absolutely beautiful.
Very cool you are also into the Templars. My wife and I have been fascinated with that stuff for sometime. That aside, this is a great song and beautifully played. You have some exceptional talent.

Damn this is amazing stuff. I am 6 minutes in and still going. rarely does a song keep my attention this long. Your mixes have all been fantastic.
I must say you are wonderful addition to iMusicScene!!

oops I wasnt finished....leading to the 3:00 point there is some really cool guitar work
then it kinda really takes off, lots going on. WOW this is like an epic, sounds like you
really put a lot of time and work into this one. Yeah it was a wild ride!
|
 |
nice instrument combination in the intro, it builds up nicely, some cool things happening at the 2:00 mark....

ANOTHER GOOD TRACK!!!!!!!! :)
THIS TAKES A WHILE TO GET GOING, BUT ITÁ A PRETTY WILD RIDE ONCE IT DOES.
NICE GUITAR AND SYNTH WORK, THOUGH I THINK THE SYNTH IS A BIT OVER THE TOP AT TIMES AND BURIES EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS COULD DO WITH A REMIX AND BETTER MASTERING. THE DRUMS SHOULD BE UP IN YOUR FACE ON THIS, THE SONG WOULD DRIVE A LOT MORE. BUT I LIKE WHAT YOUR DOING, IT´S DEFINITELY QUALITY STUFF.

great guitar sounds in the intro, nice piano in the verse....Your singer really has a great
voice, very enjoyable to listen to. The strings give the song a nice delicate feel, the drums and bass give it power. Diggin the guitar throughout.
|
 |
This is another classy piece. But agian the vocals are lost inside the mix.
Its more dramatic , more on the edge of something...probably the Reverbed drums givin that feeling. The strings are also classical sounding somehow. Guitar is huge at times and softly spoken at others.
Bring her voice up....

Jack, This is one of my favorites from the CD. Vocals are very powerful and work so well with the dynamics of the music. GREAT SONG!!

ooh baby this is really good, the song itself is very powerful and the performance is outstanding.
Yeah maybe bring those vocals up a bit, She has a great voice.
|
 |
I'm listening:
Powerful backdrop music. Very very nicely put together.
Great arrangement ,the builds are excellent.
The vocal needs to come up though its getting lost behind the (great) music.
Which is a shame because it sounds like she can sing well ...so pump the volume on the vocals and maybe the bass too.......just ideas
Guitar solo time.....very tight and fast in places and the chord progressions happening behind are great too.crescendo to a fall.
Sweet track

BEAUTIFUL 80´S STYLE ROCK TRACK. NICE VOCALS, ARRANGEMENT, AND PERFORMANCE.
I THINK THE VOCALS ARE A TOUCH TOO LOW IN THE MIX. I WOULD BRING THEM UP A TOUCH SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS BETTER. IF THIS WAS MASTERED PROPERLY, IT WOULD BE MUCH LOUDER, CLEARER AND UP IN YOUR FACE.
GOOD WORK, JUST THE SAME.

Once again, like "testament", a professional song here. Nice composition.
By the way, seems I heard different vocals, perhaps you might want to elaborate a bit on your lineup.

Wow, what a cool find. I just saw your thing scroll by at the top of the page, clicked on this and am sitting here amazed as hell. Very well-executed, complex piece of music. I especially love that huge keyboard sound and the harmonizing guitar solos. Nice melody, too. I am truly impressed with this. Good job.
