Thanks for adding more forums!!!

Thanks for the comments! Smile

Btw, if you have negative points to note about my music, I welcome you because often that is more helpful than positive comments, so that I can work on those points and improve.

I was only able to listen to "Bound" because the player on this PC won't work properly and I have to use downloads. I really like your guitar playing and the etherial atmosphere produced. The sound production is also very good, as good as a professional band.

However I think your vocals are hiding in the mix, they need to be brought out. I was expecting harsh BM style vocals, but was relived to discover that this was not the case, the 'blackened' tag threw me off a bit. I'd like to hear your other track, would you be willing to make it available for downloading?

Nice work -Pete 8)

Hey, thanks for listening and commenting! I agree that my vocals are hiding in the mix, but they're hiding for a reason Laughing

. Bound was my first attempt at vocals, I've made some improvements in my latest song Mirage, and the vocals are higher in the mix there.
You can listen to Mirage here. If you want to download it, right click the link and select save as.
Cheers!

^^^ Cheers -I listened to Mirage a couple of times. Its pretty good, but personally I much prefer Bound. Do you have any more songs uploaded anywhere?

Yes, but Bound and Mirage are the first songs where I used vocals, everything else I've made is instrumental.
What do you think makes you like Bound more than Mirage? The way I look at it, the drum loops are higher quality and more varied in Mirage as in Bound, the vocals are better and more varied, the song structure is more coherent, and the production is smoother, but then again artists are usually biased in favor of their most recent work.

Here are some older songs, all instrumental:

Current

Transformation

A Venture Into Darkness

Hope you enjoy them, although I think Mirage and Bound are the best tracks I've made so far.

Thanks for the links -of the three new ones I preferred Current, although the others were also worthy of a listen. 8)
