epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.

I think the material from 2007 / 2008 resides on the server in a folder left from the old soonlabel forum. I didn't delete that folder so that the links would not break. But now a decade later perhaps I should just delete it.
This is very mysterious - sounds like you are running you voice through the synth?

very nice,, i am just starting to use the garritan po, think i'll look into the world samples,,,, very nice piece
*staring at his stat copy in the corner.....* do you need more notes lil' buddy? do you? ;) Really dig the sound!
Sounds a bit like Ravel's Bolero. How about a bit more volume on the music and a bit less on the percussion? John.
Very nice tune. but now you make me consider buying the Garritan World set too. ;-) These tuning capabilities in the new player are really awesome
Nice one Chris. Very pretty. Love the pipes and the percussion.
Oh well recited. I thought it may have to compete with the band but no, that was great!
Such a pleasing tone!
Most interesting, different and well played.
That's so cool, and great tone! I want more notes too!
Oh boy. Don't forget to eat & sleep once in a while. I can't wait to hear what you come up with on this thing...
Interesting. I'd love to have a go at one of those myself
where do we start?. Have you something in mind?
I'd love to.
nice! and such a comfy sounding tuning.
Nice intro-45 seconds-nice! Simply great~
Wild.

Percussion is Ace! love the harmonies that follow.
My favorite parts are when you drop back into 6/8 meter like at 20 mins.
*holds up lit lighter* You + Mike = always great.

reminds me of the minute man air corp of Massachusetts bringing down spitfires during the Boston Tea Party of 1812. Some tea - some party!
Great sounds in this!
excellent odd and menacing mood!
Its the only reason to have a day job!

Thanks Bill!
This is incredibly cinematic - excellent work !
Beautiful Ben!
lasers to a WWII Battle of Britain dog fight!
Excellent! Adds a nice ambient layering
great!

this is a marvelous transformation of guitar!!
I love this as well!
nice use of temsion and release - as Jim said - a movie score.
If this had more drive it would break the interwebs! Nice work!
Brilliant!
well done!
wow this is truly at the edge of the edge!
