colab 57 Reviews	. permalink Mon, May 5, 2008 @ 11:12 AM I think the idea is outstanding. And for the first minute or so the effect is just terrific. But I think that it runs close to being a gimmick for filling up a full track - perhaps if you had this as a backing with an acapella and faded out the harp for a section, it would keep its sort of surprise charm, rather than overdoing it. Still - I think it’s a fantastic concept, and it’s just given me a bunch of ideas, so thanks for that. :)
	. permalink Gurdonark Mon, May 5, 2008 @ 8:29 PM Thanks! I thought about a pella for this, but lately I try to do more instrumentals, with an idea of seeking to be accompaniment for a visual. I think, though, there’s lots of things, including a ‘pella, that could have varied this one. I tend to like repetition and mild variation, but it doesn’t always “sell” for everyone. Thanks for the constructive criticism.
TheJoe 366 Reviews	. permalink Wed, May 7, 2008 @ 1:27 PM I do agree with colab for the idea to shorten the harp, but otherwise I really like what you have done there. Sounds like sort of (free) jazz session in mother nature_s arms. Overall your track has a charming and positive mood that puts a great smile on my face. I like it!
