Thanks Steve. Good suggestion. There's a book (Music, The Brain, And Ecstasy) that talks about the feeling one can get when listening to certain music passages that I can relate to. It's similar to taking a drug, but safer and with no side effects. -Bjorn

Sounds really good Steve. And I like how the lyrics are open to interpretation by the listener. -Bjorn

Thanks Jack. It's interesting how listeners can react to music so differently. My take on this song is almost opposite to yours. -Bjorn

Judging by the quality of Passion Flute and Mesa Winds (outstanding!) I'll probably get this one too.

Morpheus the god of dreams and sleep This isn't really a song I guess, just sounds that appeal to me for some impossible to explain reason. I like to bend notes and add in lots of reverb and delay to achieve that nice opium den ambience. Thanks for listening/commenting. -Bjorn

Some songs have beautiful lyrics and some have beautiful melodies and this has both. Very nice Ross. -Bjorn

I would have thought those were NASA images, not from a guy in his back yard! Very well done, as is the music. -Bjorn

Nigel, Yeah, a bit different this time. I like the more rock and less pop direction you've taken here. As always, terrific video editing. -Bjorn

- Orange Tree Sitardelic. I had a lot of Orange Slices I'd forgotten about which brought the price down even more. - UVI Falcon Expansion Modular Noise. Compares to NI Reaktor but not as radical. - u-He MFM2 I love u-He products but this one's a bit complicated so I might regret buying it. - XLN - a couple of AD midi packs Almost bought Avenger but not sure now. I have enough trouble tweaking Falcon patches so don't need another convoluted synth to figure out. Wish they had a demo.

I'm not a metal fan but I like this, esp Zargg's growly voice. Great mix too. -Bjorn

Nice toe-tapping take on a classic. Might be a bit too quantized IMO but overall very enjoyable. -Bjorn

Pleasant enough, but I think it's too repetitive. The recurring melodic background piece could be altered a little every measure or two for variety. -Bjorn

Great cover song and pretty close to the original sound, even to Ozzie's voice. Sounds like your elderly synth is still in working order! -Bjorn

Sounds good. So are those synthesized voices? I think you were dabbling in Synthesizer V a while ago. I like the innocent/elephants rhyme. -Bjorn

Noynekker: thanks I appreciate the comment Steve: Tubular bells, hadn't actually thought of that but yeah probably was an inspiration Jack, Leadfoot: thanks I appreciate the listen/comment Mark: hey thanks! Appreciate the comment on the mix, something I always have trouble with Wookie: Yep there's just something mystical about gamelan sounds imo. -Bjorn

Just another well produced and highly professional sound. Radio ready and maybe it's already out there? Have to say the falsetto bit at 3:00 didn't seem like it belonged in there, but just imo. -Bjorn

Great arrangement. Nice dreamy sound to it esp the vocalist. -Bjorn

Very well done Steve. I appreciate all the historical notes on the song too. I had no idea that George and John didn't perform on the song. -Bjorn

Wookie, the arps play off each other well. Really like the phaser effect too. -Bjorn

Brings up that giddy feeling at the beginning of a relationship. Very nicely done. -Bjorn

Mark, I love the leisurely pace, love the guitar and voc. This is one of those songs that transports me to happier times. IDK the pause at 0:52 took me out of it a bit, but just me. -Bjorn

Not Lost, Just Wandering Kind of spacy but melodic. One of the tracks is a revised bell instrument (Omnisphere Gossamer keyboard) that I've used in other songs. There's something about gamelan type bells and gongs that have a hypnotic effect when played in certain patterns. I was trying for something like that here but the song kept diverging to something else. Also, I kept falling asleep. ? Thanks for listening/commenting. Omnisphere, Zebra, Pigments, Foundations Piano, AD

My favorite nylon guitar just got better. https://www.indiginus.com/renaxxance-ii-nylon-string-guitar-upgrade

I can't seem to come up with anything new so here's one I did five years ago. I thought it was pretty good. -Bjorn
