Thanks folks!

BTW, it's all guitar on "The Long Winter"...I threw every kind of delay I had on the tracks and it ended up sounding like sustained keyboard notes.

Wow, very nice and calm music.  Very spacey, I like it a lot.

(These are reviews of the songs on your myspace)

"You Will Return" has some very cool sounds in it, and a very enjoyable guitar part.  I like this one a lot.

"The Long Winter" was also good, but I didn't personally like the delay on the acoustic in the beginning.  It was just a little bit too much for me.  I still did enjoy they song because of the nice layers of keyboards on top of the main acoustic later on.

I love the sound at the beginning of "Pastorale".  I heard (at least I think I heard) Flutes and a guitar with a delay.  Still a little bit too much delay for my tastes, but I did like this one.

"21st Century Anthem" was my favorite of the songs.  It was nice a mellow, nicely sung and recorded.  I liked the harmony sections a lot in the vocals.  Good lyrics too.  

I liked your music, very spacey and mellow.  good job.

Oh, didn't realize it was you. Shocked I actually listened to your music on Last.fm approx. a week before this thread was created.

Very nice music, as far as I can recall. Being a sucker for all things folk nowadays, it was right up my alley. I must listen to it again one of these days. Smile

Keep it up!

Both songs I heard: "You will return" and "21st Century Anthem" are fine and may be nice prog-folk songs with enriched arrangements... with a band probably or who knows with guest players?Smile
 
The other 2 tracks didn't work for me. Cry

Hello, Allister, Smile
 
Any artistic name to be used in the thread title or should I use your forum name in the meantime? Wink
 
 
Cheers!

I've done this before, but hey presto, here's a new section for PA musicians, so it behooves me to show you what I got.

I do psych folk, a variant of prog folk, I guess. Think Incredible String Band, Pentangle, Nick Drake, some of the very mellow early Hawkwind (think We Took the Wrong Step Years Ago), that sort of thing, although I was once called Floydian...I couldn't figure out why, really, but I took it as a compliment.

Anyway, if you're looking for prog ROCK, I ain't it. Very mellow, acoustic music with weird noises in the background and lots of reverb.

I promise this is the last time I'll plug my own work!
