How nice to hear a little new music from you! Beautiful and lush arrangement and production. I’d love to hear that in 16 channel surround sound in a big movie theater! :-)

Thanks Spin!

Indeed, it_s a little new music. I doubt if it_s enough for 16 channel surround sound, but I am glad that you could enjoy it even on a simple stereo rack ;-)!

cheers!

Peaceful and quietly lush. Makes it easy to listen and very satisfying. Nicely done.

Thank you Speck!

I was wondering a bit about your nick name here, because in my language it means “jam”.

I am a bit puzzled, that I haven_t reviewed your remixes as I had a first short listen to a few. I am going to write something the next day.

Thanks again!

Very nice. I like this interpretation very, very much - very cool, very laid back.

And I also am glad to see you around these parts again! :)

Thanks you colab!

It was meant as a laid back version, so glad you like it.

Yes I am around and hopefully this week I am going to work on another project that waits for some further development ….;-)

I was thinking that i did not like the boinky plucky synths over the soft pads at the start and then you dropped them for the rest of the piece so a good compromise.

I Like it.

Thanks LS!

I had this plucky synth in a first version only for the firt bars and then I extended it. So I know what you mean and your thoughts make me think about to stay on a first idea and not to overwhelm it, just to fill a few bars more with something… .

In this sense: thanks for this review and thoughtful words.

Cheers!

J-
I was away this weekend and this is the first time I see this nice surprise.
Its always a pleasure to hear your arrangements of my vocals. This one really captures the whole dream-like aspects of the song’s mood. The absence of percussion is totally innovative…..
Thanks!

Anchor!

I was away the weekend too, and so no problem.

I wish I had more time to remix more of your offers, as you have a unique style and I always dig your lyrics.

The next remix for you might be a more “orchestrated” one!

Thanks for the review and till soon!

I really love that. You bring to the voice of Anchor, a more dramatic atmosphere. His voice is floating in a sound space. Really great moment, and very surprising from you..!!

Thansk a lot Ciggi!

When I was looking for another remix for Anchor I detected this pella and thought immediately that he put a lot of feeling in it and so it was not too difficult to find something to accompaign him.

Oh! What a fantastic patient journey unhurried and absolutely lovely — there are certain melodic phrases and sounds that just take my breath away with their beauty.

….and thank you very much Miss SackJo22!

I listened to Anchor_s vocals and then pressed the keys in the hope to find the right ones.
Glad that you like it as I loved to play with the pad sound.

Thanks also for this review Juergen.

When I was playing some chords listening to the vocals of Anchor, I found it might be enough just to have a simple arrangment to accompaign Anchor. I am still content with this decision.

Thanks again!

Funny contrast, sounded like the vocal was recorded around the 1940’s (because of the way he sings probably) and then embedded in some sort of jazzrock-ish synthpad background. As i said, funny combination but it works.
