Sorry, no chocolate ;) About the tunes, In my youth I could have totally listened to this, reminds me of Tony McAlpine which I listened to quite a bit a long time ago. Since then I fear I have grown away from this genre. The solo guitars sound quite nice especially when the two guitars play "against" each other, they should be upfront in the mix and they are, there's a little much guitar-noise at times perhaps, not much more to say, possibly they are bit over the top with effects, but I guess that comes with the territory. The backing arrangements seem quite nicely laid out, I think they sound a bit synthetic though. I think they would improve alot just by changing the sounds/soundfonts, whatever you are using, to something of higher quality. That's about all I can think of at the moment :) Keep it up! /Robert > > I'd like to say a huge thank you to everybody in the LAU and LAD > community, without whom I would not have the fantastic tools that make > it possible for me to write and record this music.
