Issyk-Kul now this is impressive .you neevr fail to impressed me Len .the style itself just amazing .its a true fusion of two deffirent genere and scale .its like a gem with multi faces .its more into Art Rock when the guitar came in with the heavy drums .a real blast my friend !! |

I like your venture into 'orchestral' Len..... very mysterious sounding and unusual.... the sombre sounding vocal has a hypnotic feel along with the repetition which all adds to the mood. The water at the end sounds lovely..... could almost paddle in it. Loved this, regards M |

Funhouse Harrison? HEar me out before you think I'm totally nuts. Ever hear George Harrison's "Be Here Now" from Living in the Material world? This reminds me of it... If you run the mood of it through a dark hall of mirrors, or maybe a meat grinder. I mean this in a GOOD way... just can't find more gentle terms. Very cool tune. |

moody the chord progression is excellent - it sets up a mood of longing and mystery. the build ups are great i really like the lake waves sound effect too thanks |

dive in sounds like a very cool place to visit. I like the tune, especially what you've done with the orchestration parts. I can see this being expanded into something like a multi part musical. I can't offer any explanation for that thought other than the song, brings strong imagery and perhaps a deeper story line. Certainly the build in the tune, what with the drums and guitar coming in later suggests to me a rock opera :) Nice wave lapping action Len! |

sonically a delight.... vocals are rich....it does conjure images of the slavic region..baltics.....the guitar solo was evocative on its own......kool peice..... |

It makes me wonder What is the world's largest alpine lake........is it Tahoe? I don't know and I'm too lazy to check. Anyway, very cool and interesting concept. Love those drums towards the end. The water sounded great, too. Dave |

Great vocal on this my friend. I love the harmonized singing, and you achieved a great evocative vibe with your chanting. Terrific combination of the plucked strings, and then those drums and the guitar kicking in - outstanding! (Great sound on those drums, by the way...) Pretty amazing that someone had recorded the sound of the water! It's a small world! The recording works well here - almost transports you there. Very cool track. Sounds like a wonderful place. Nicely done. Peace. |

You .. .. are definitely the MJ artist I could go .. "that's Len" .. a unique sound all your own .. distinctive no matter what you lend yourself too .. it has that "Len sound" ..it will be Len%u2122 (registered trademark) :o) Lovely piece, tranquil homage. Glad to see you dipping into the Freesound projects archives. Nice acoustic guitar sound, atmostpheric vocals and sweet mix.. I was expecting a little weird electric guitar sounds to creep in at some point in the arrangement ..ah well ..drums coming in a 2:40 are a little 'stumbly' in spots.. I'd prefer them a bit tighter, was my only quibble this time. Any Ozone usage this time? |

What a trip - I and I really mean it I was so transported by this song. Fantastic - original - strange - wonderful. You know - half the time I think you've made up the whole Kyrgyzstan thing and no such place exists. But now I get it. It's real - and it's a state of mind. Thanks for posting. |

Very nice track Cool composition and mad lyrics. My wife the same about mentioning Romania (which is why there is an advert for a romania tourist website on my Bio). Interesting suject matter and its an informative track, so there's something for everybody. Nice one Len. |

Issyk-Kool As always, a great amount of passion goes into your music. You are so inventive and have great instinct when composing. Sorry I'm not around much lately, but I am trying to keep up with everyone and downloading as often as possible. This one will sound good on the ipod too. Thanks Len. Bob |

Hey Len! When you're a big star in Kyrgyzstan can I be your roadie? Looks fantastic and the sounds you've made in response to Issyk-Kul make it even more attractive. Seriously good post Len - I like everything about it. Beautifully recorded - the drums through the solo are a standout. There's a sense of becoming overwhelmed by the fx - not a bad thing. It would have been interesting to use the water sounds as part of the rhythm section, but that's just me :) Congratulations, your wife's parents will love this! Neil |

great The beginning reminded me of a Holst part-song I heard once. Love it when the drums kick in. Is Borat from round those parts? |

Wow What an interesting place, when I get time I'll have to check more about it! Thanks for sharing! Nice Tune! Great Pic as well! |

awesome Love the information/background... and love the Asian-plains-style mystery you weave in the music. Your voice is hypnotic here, and the descriptive lyrics wash around in my head until the colors are a blur. The guitar work is wonderful (loved the electric guitar doing the repeat-bend thing that sounded almost like a bird/animal call), and to find a recording of the lapping water from that very place... how serendipitous is that? There are natural places in this world that can really get ahold of us and call us back. This place sounds supremely beautiful! By the way, the answer to your question "cost me an armenia leg": http://goasia.about.com/od/countriesaz/a/lake_sevan.htm ttfn, Drakonis |

This makes me smile! I like the development/drama! Unusual sounding place. |

hehe This is pretty good. A great tribute. I have only been on the air base there (during the winter) and the cold there is unbelievable. I did get a chance to enjoy the view of the mountains from there and also got a few "Red Army" hats from one of the shops there. It would be a nice place to visit if it didn't get so cold. |

This is COOL! Sorry I'm a little late to the party here, don't know how I missed this first time through. But I'm glad I spotted it now! This is simply very COOL. The piano adds so much, the strings are done perfectly to my ear. I love your vocals and lyrics. Guess I just love this song! |

Wow!!! So glad you stopped by my page so I could get to know some of your lovely music! I really love this and the back story makes it truly a wonder to hear. You did very very well to add the water sample, it really fits in where as it couldve been a bit of an overstatement. Id love to hear you remix this in your shiny new LP software by the way :D . .... I just cant get over the scenery/imagery you convey.. I get a little of actually being there and that is an awesome thing to be able to do with a listener. |

I was told... that I sounded a bit like you - so I have been listening to your stuff. I really like this piece - I did something in the same vein about japanese mythology (called "Ice Flower"). I'd love to get your feedback. I like your baritone voice too! |

Looks like.. I missed another one. This is a really cool song. I love how it builds to the electric guitar and the water sounds building at the end. Very nice job. Great vocals on this too. The crow at the end was cool I imagine it was on the freesound file. Great job on this. |
The lake is lovely. And the song is entrancing. My daughter spent the summer nearby in Tajikistan. Surprisingly beautiful country at the top of the world!
Thanks
Bill
