Beautifull Oceanic feel in those sounds and that piano playing is out of this world. I love the intermittent ponderous sounds and the fantastic percussion parts. Something to be really proud of.... the mix is heavenly, I love this, regards M |

Oh Yeah... I can hear the soul... I can picture myself sitting on that bench, quietly contemplating the serene beauty that surrounds me... and then my spirit taking flight to survey it from a distance. It's a wondrous journey, as is this tune, filled with so many interesting feels and touches. Hope to see your CD soon, my talented friend. Put me on the notice list. As far as your experience is concerned, Patrick... the years know much that the days never notice. ;) --- Joe |

How could I not... ...hear it's soul...? As present as the sun, clouds, moon, stars, and sky...beautiful, Patrick...great, great piece. Smooth with a funky edge. Cool guitar part...love it. Looking forward to your CD... |

slightly edgier and I like it. The tension in the progression and the very cool voicings you use give it a fourplay vibe and you run with it. Master production chops. The drums and bass sound like the real deal? Especially dig the great jam that develops using the string pads (towards the end), just strikes me as so sweet the way you lay in that piano. |

Always great to see you post Patrick Very cool Grusin/Ritenour feel - Lee must be off buying more beer during the recording of this track ;) Lovely mix and your playing is just perfect. If I had to find a nit (and of course I don't, but I will), I'd like to hear just a tad more of the drums in the mix - it seems that it would be good to have the cymbals in particular, but also the snare and kit, breaking up the mid-heavy keys with some more sparkle. The soul is definitely in the house tonight. Cheers, Neil |

Rhythm and timbre and subtlety... It seems like it has been ages since I've heard something from you, Patrick... This is headphone candy. I love the intermingled keyboard timbres, and I love the tone and phrasing of the bass... The mix is nicely solid without being squashed, and you have nicely subtle panning. I particularly pick up on subtlety because it's something of which I am incapable...The drums against the piano are particularly fine... And you get extra points for a perfect title. Ed |

This is really well thought out and executed. Lots of interesting layering and great consistency with the theme. It's a keeper. I'm taking this home with me. Makes me think of the Vogal guy during the 80'e's and the girl friend who loved to play this mood at the close of the day. High points from me. |

consistently wonderful Patrick, this is another awe inspiring piece. I love the huge stereo feel and new-age instrument selection. The harp bits remind me of Vollenweider. It's got great changes and dynamics, but I absolutely love the beginning, more pensive part. Those melodies pull me in and I love the light touch on the piano. Someone once used the term "delicate complexity" to describe a song I wrote and I never fully understood what that meant -- but I now know what it means because your music embodies that description. And that's precisely why I love your music. You're such an inspiration. |

Wow, Patrick Yeah, I can hear it. Deep uncoverings of what had been almost forgotten. Such good playing and mixing... Ahhh... just sublime. :-) |

Soulful elegance I hear your soul here, and I like it! I am blown away by the sound! Everything sounds so fantastic, and so transparent. You keep me guessing as the music unfolds... never sure where you're going, but I always like where you take us. It has a soulful coolness and elegance. I is always wonderful to hear more music from you. |

I dig it Really a nice and cozy piece of music. Soothing and alive. Everything sounds well placed in the composition and in the mix. I really enjoyed this and wish you luck on finalizing the CD and getting it out there. Slick work, Futz. |

a "Futzpucker signature" emerges... Hehe... this has some similarities to another piece of yours I loved... (and made a video for :-) Very smooth glide, but propelled forward with a confidence in mood. There may be introspection here, but what you find when you look inside makes you smile as you stride forward with purpose. The only teeny critique I could possibly offer, is that in headphones, the moderately-fast panning of the guitar (and electric piano?) at the outset was a tiny bit distracting, but only barely, and as more instruments came in, it was no longer so. I loved the strength & sound of the bass, and overall this is a really nice relaxing upbeat piece... warm and enjoyable, perhaps that is where the introspection shows :-) ttfn, Drakonis |

Smooth, very smooth I love this Patrick. Your musical talents are many and I am always impressed by your amazing abilities. This is just beautiful and so easy to listen to. Made me feel calm and very relaxed. Lots of soul in this one and I could definitely feel it. Thanks my friend, awesome job!!! |

Learning I LOVE this one. So smooth - a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. The introspection and lessons learned - you have such an incredible talent of communicating thoughts and emotion through your music. Groovy beats - the percussion in this just blows my mind. And your piano performance - superb. And at 2:40 when those echoey pizzy strings come in - my favorite part. A wonderful tune for sitting on a bench in the Santa Cruz twilight watching the tide flow in. |

How can one but help following behind you on the path you clear? Music is a language like no other. With sound alone you can be engulfed in the feelings of the composer and it happens without your volition. It is inexorable, a matter of course and of course, it matters. How very generous of you to post this here. There is an expression, "No mean woman cooks well." That might sound sexist, but it is an old expression. Let me offer, (after all, it is my comment): "No mean human can write music well." You must have a beautiful soul! I needed some uplifting. Many thanks. |

Wow Sorry I'm late for this one - been neglecting my "Macjammic" duties this summer - but I'm here now, so better late than never, right? Now, I love this, and I'm not just saying that. You have such a laid-back and relaxing sound and the piano sounds exquisite. I also love the smooth electric piano in the beginning. Oh, and what was that guitar sound sweeping through the first minute? It sounded pretty real, whatever it was. A lovely piece of music. You never disappoint! -Einar S. |

Very clean and live A really nice mix on this tune. Love the piano lines - but the fact that it doesn't dominate the tune is special. I tend to focus only on the piano, and you have done a great job of turning the focus on and off the piano. I like how you pick up the groove around 1:25. Reminds me of Bob James. The mix really breathes - all the instruments fit in their place. Nice use of various instrumentation. Lifts the tune to another place. A great piece! Keep working on that last song and get the CD out. Kayle |
