exquisite Nice rich bass intro really catches your attention. Love the early piano flourishes that reverberate into space. Excellent use of drawn-out quiet areas, then things sliding back in. Very clean mix, so much room, lots of nice ideas woven together. Very pretty classical guitar work. There was a hint in the last (nicely done) orchestral section of some Copland-esque Americana (use of fourths?) Nice stuff, and so good to see the baton picked up by a master, and passed to another one on this great project. ttfn, Drakonis |

very nice i cant even imagine how long it took you to produce this, very nice from start to finish. very clean, clear and concise.. something about the subtly @ 6:00 drew me in even deeper. This was very nice, and cant wait to check out the previuos installments that you mention! |

Magnificent! Loved the poem too. It's great that everything is played live and maintains the organic feeling that your tale sets up. I love your "kitchen sink" approach. |

Masterful All I can say is I think this is a wonderful collection of sounds and feelings. Very well played and the production values and arrangement is beautifully done. Your use of the soundscape shows a great knowledge of and mastery over controlling the listeners experience. An absolutely gorgeous piece of music that will someday be considered a classic. Bravo Maestro Ed |

This is a real sonic adventure. I get a kind of 'Trans-Siberian Orchestra' vibe out of this. Maybe it's the scope of the piece. This is so well produced, too. Ah - there's the Copeland reference. The field recordings are a touch of inspiration. Darn, it's over. |

proof... Ive used some really crappy guitars in some of my recordings. But I dont think its what you have its how you use it, The silvertone sounds as good as any real les paul. And the Alvarez sounded like a Martin!!! Nice job!!! |

Definitely, otherworldly ... and a kind of orchestral romp through stream of consciousness. You threw everything you could in here and .. it is very beautiful and demands complete attention. Wonderful piece. Thanks. |

I love this Thanks for alerting me to this, Graham. It's gorgeous. Sorry I wish I could type more, but I keep getting interrupted at work. Geesh, don't these people know I'm immersed in music by Bubowski?! |

A most wonderful listen I'm not so sure that they made the words that would properly describe this but if I hadda guess while trying to put it into some type of context, I'd first say, that this piece sounds like all the knowledge within a universe sharing it's self. I'm also thinking, that you had to have gone to the outskirts of a well known system in order to retrieve it. I woulda just liked to have seen the look on your face when you were towing it back to town... Beautifully Displayed! Thanks for the free grabs, too! BTW I was the one who DL'd three copies - making sure I got it, I guess |

I made myself... ...sit down after my morning tea and really listen to this, and over "the best headphones"... This is another of those stereophonic headphone treats...Stuff coming in from everywhere, and stuff that FITS... I love the roughish and very present electric guitar against the prettier, chimier things in the background, including other, cleaner, electric guitar... Nicely recorded ambient sounds, too. The H2 proves itself once again... The embarrassing part is that I have yet to spot the Mellotron... I hope Tadashi gets to hear this.... Ed Fits very well with the book I'm reading, 'Saturn's Children', by Charles Stross. For something with that 'lost in the universe' sort of theme... |

wow I wonder how you get such a clear sound... it's impressive. May I just say that I'm not a big fan of nature sounds in the middle of the track ? t. Apart from this, I guess this is the best ambient tune I've heard this year ! the piano in the second part is just pure delight. Many thanks for sharing ! |

Love it Totally fulfilling piece, in that I think it satisfies what anyone could ask for in an epic musical adventure. Totally pro sound and I love all the detail and ear candy that is tucked in the corners, especially from the percussion work. Reminds me a bit of David Arkenstone, but more subtle and not so bombastic. The acoustic guitar and water remind me of Rush's 2112 album. |

A lot of really intriguing sounds throughout this piece. I loved the transitions. I think parichayaka said it well... so many instruments and sound structures, yet this piece maintains such a fluidity. I think I'll let this accompany my three hour car trip on Monday. Thanks for sharing |
So many creative ideas to admire here...love the soundbed you start out with, the calm, deep atmosphere you create within seconds. Your poetry is invoking wonderfully uplifting imagery, taking the musical experience to a higher level. What I find especially remarkable is how you manage to combine different instruments and sound structures into one long musical journey without ever loosing the intensity of this mesmerizing soundtrack. Takes you into an almost ethereal space way beyond the ordinary....beautiful!
