Very nice. Just the right build. Your music powers the mood but doesn’t overpower the sentiment.

Thanks, Denny! This one came out quite quickly as I hit the tone with panu moon on first atempt. All credit to him for his really good vocal track, which set the mood. Thanks a lot for you nice comments!

A drive to the desert, a warm balmy night, a sky strewn with a million stars, and conversations about important things. This is the soundtrack. Great sounds in this mix, great associations. I really enjoyed listening.

If my music helped bringing up those images I can’t help feeling a little proud :) Thanks a lot - really nice words!

I’m with Denny - very good balance here - really emotional but never sappy or overdone. Production is great too - very good blend of sort of narrow almost mono intro and much wider sounds.

I love it. Great stuff.

Thanks, colab - making this mix was almost like comming home musically and I loved doing it. As for the production, I did the only thing I’m slightly confortable doing - as close as possible to nothing :) Glad you like it!

I didn’t delibarately go for the Steely Dan type of thing, it just sits in my spine :) Actually, SackJo is describing very well my own inner vision when I’m listening to Steely Dan. Thanks a lot!

a pro arrangement & mix here, mullion. the multi-tracked guitar (played beautifully, by the way) & jazzy syncopated BT really set this one off. thanks very much, p.

Thanks, p! As son as I started working on this mix I discovered what lovely and quite complex vocal lines you’ve done here. The way you vary your articulations and use the scale is an example to follow (for those who are able to….)

Thanks a lot for the very nice words!

A tremendous, atmospheric backing track for Mr Cool himself. What more could anyone ask for? Enjoyed listening enormously, thank you.

Again a higher level production and an original adventure (with Mr. Moon’s cohoperation). You strike and I am blown away.
I also agree with SackJo, I see this as a soundtrack for a road movie in Arizona. Up, Mullion!

Thanks, Carsone! It’s such a pleasure for me to read your positive comments. I’ll be happy score any road movie at any time :)
