No mess at all! Very organic blend of samples! Feels great! Nice mix

This one’s given me shivers up and down my spine and brought tears to my eyes - in a really good way. A wonderful setting for jacinda’s moving voice and words.

I hope you didn’t put too much interesting stuff on the right side of the stereo field, because the right side of my hearing is on vacation right now. But I do like what I am hearing on the left side. You really tamed the drums and bass to fit in with the overall mood of this song. A very fine piece of work.

Good touch, no mess.

Really well delivered C. The piano clearly works a treat and the subtle background bouncing synth melody works very well (Toward the beginning). Even the detail, such as your filtered fills sound really pro.

For me, the vocal is only slightly too loud for the music in parts (I understand the vocal does fluxuate a fair bit).

The single note key delays above the bed of ambient chord holds are also really effective. Real nice job squire .

Colab, I don’t know how you do it. How you take a sound and envision it so far from where it came. Maybe it is just experimentation, I don’t know. In some ways it feels as though I do the same thing, in a totally different way. Thanks again for finding a place to use something I’ve put up. The bass was already heavily processed, but you found some place. I love the textures and simplicity of this piece. It feels not at all coerced. Looking forward to the next from you I hear. I’ll be glad to post snippets anytime you’d lay something down.

Piano has an enchanting sound and chords, it really shines and give light to the whole piece. The entagled shimoda is not messy, good work. I agree with scott on the voice, but the original pella is a difficult track to work with.
And, in the end, it is a beautiful song that gives emotions.

Against all my promises to write reviews earlier, I am here very late, just checked in at ccmixter and found this here. Mikael, I am totaly in love with this track. It has so much romantic and warm ambient/pop feeling. The steady pad and the processed bass of shimoda as well for the echoed..oed..oed.ooed e piano and the very lyrical piano chords in the beginning. This is all done so well for the whole composition with a very positive mood that I think this is really one of your very best tracks so far.

For me, my personal Ed Pick!! I would like to see if someone of the ed pickers would think like me :-).

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!

Please add my similar feelings to all these glowing statements above!

On first listening I thought you had pushed the envelope too far this time.

I like variation in mixes that go against the traditional but here I felt the additional sounds too intrusive.

SO…. I watched as everyone else commented and had another listen.

And guess what? I like it more than the first time but it does take a few listens which is not such a bad thing!

Yea nice one, unsusual feel.

The Bass comes in like Chris Squire would have done with a Yes tune and thats what it reminded me of overall.

Were would be without comparison Eh ?

I think I can identify a “colab” remix when I hear one (one of these days I’m going to try a blind test…)

A colab-remix sounds like this to me:
1) Clean, crisp
2) Thoughtful, Rhythmic
3) Relaxed, Mindful
4) Jazzy, bluesy feel
5) Familiar, yet New
6) Technically proficient (where the simplicity belies the complexity)

I realised I might be sprouting complete B.S., a show of artistic-pretense. But I mean every word. Besides, I listened to the song as I wrote the review :)


Oh, and I always, always have to tell myself to get rid of my ego when listening to colab’s work. And reading the reviews others leave for him. Heh.

This took me a few listens before I “got” it. I think I get it now, and I also think I likesss it. :)

My goodness! What a fantastic, complex (without sounding difficult) composition. Gorgeous!!

As I poke around some of the “older” mixes (ironic, calling a piece that has been around for approximately 6 weeks old — just things move so fast around here) — I am so glad I stopped by. What a fantastic amalgomation of elements. I love the bass sound. Thanks for a terrific listen!
