Now you’re selling yourself short. You put her wonderful vocals in a great musical context with a very fine production. Excellent stuff.

wow, glad i didn’t listen to this before submitting mine. :)

great job j. just a really great job.

Some people who listen to ambient music profess a preference for a kind of “purity” in the sound. They want their drones and atmospheres to be free of beats, melodic themes, and easily interconnected ideas.

They profess not to understand why people listen to the dancefloor-derived electronica genres, like downtempo or chill music.

This song is why people listen to downtempo and chill. Music is about atmospheres—about using
sound-as-sound to create environments. Music is about colonizing the moon—terraforming
the ether with sound until it’s safe for humanity to live in what used to be an airless void.

Here you’ve built a crystal city
on the Sea of Storms. It’s a gentle
graceful place in which a sense of peace mingles with heartbreak. It’s a place in which everyone wears a knowing smile, because everyone feels it, and knows it, and nods along to the beat as if
earth-rise is just around the corner.

When one is leaping around the craters, one imagines how one might have planted the flags a bit differently—perhaps the voice could “come up” and have a barest dash more fx, perhaps the drone could have a trifle-ish more delay and pan out to the edges of the headphones like a blanket on the dark side rotation. Yet I’m struck by the graceful, unassuming way this song blends together. This ‘pella is very good—but it tempts one to do too conventional a pop melody. You resist that temptation, and the result is a delightful chill melody.

Thoroughly uncomplicated pop Mr Lang. Your music compliments the pella completely and lifts it to a higher place.

Very warm, very peacefull
very modern!!! A gat dam’ cool tral

beautiful, instantly likeable track. smooth, sophisticated, urban chill. i’m pretty sure we could sell several copies of this, you know, if we weren’t homeboy & girl recordists doin’ it in our spare time and all.

wow - delicious sounds sustain a very intriguing song. most excellent production. Loved it!

I like your style. samples is good.
You are fast musician.

Mr. Lang,

You proved with this one to be a very versatile musician. Very smooth mix, and a lot of feelings in this quiet piece.

I agree with Subliminal…you’re being way to modest. Great addition, great mix.

This is an excellent remix mate! The delayed rhythms and drums go well with vocals. Also, I have listened to some of your other remixes and you have a tremendous ability to pull out the feeling and vibe of the song.
From my side…I am such a perfectionist that I would love to do my vocals again and have you remix them to try different vocal phrasing and smoothing out. I think I sent you an email about that. But, sometimes it is good to just except what you have done (sayin this about me) and see how people interpret what you put out (and you interpreted this piece excellent and gave it more depth with the drums). What people have done with my vocals is exceptional and all of the compliments have been encouraging. You are da bomb JLang. This is like the “JLang and the special sauce” mix (aka “G-love and the special sauce”…love these musicians).

Its more cherry blossom now than ever.
Cool vibe as per your usual high standard.

oh hell yes

I am late to the party here. What a beat DJ Lang. You have the unique sense to add so cool drums on tracks that enhance the vocals like this here. Wonderful drifting track!

Happy holidays to you!

Oh, MAN, this is cool! The beat’s thick, the vocal fits in the song and the mix like a glove, the guitars and synths complement without attracting too much attention. Everything works fantastically.

Real nice Mr Lang… Enjoyed it from start to finish… Ok so now im thinking why is it this is the first time I’ve hit your page? Will check out your mixes too…
Happy Holidays!

Lang’s mixes —-> so captivating nice work sir laid back indeed

I had missed this and checked the newer one, now I see that you are running around this vocals in closer and closer circles (and you’re right to do it)

What else to say? You the man. This made me all smiley and relaxed, like a beautiful day at the beach for my ears

This is well put together! Everything runs so smoothly together. I LIKE IT! Good job J!

A simply gorgeous production. Dam….how did I MISS this?!?!?!
