This to me is a stronger piece. There's a haunting background going on that gives this real depth. Very expressive voice. The music compliments it perfectly excellent song very well done

The vocals are TOTALLY apropo for a journey on the other side of the wormhole... the kind of track that has the listener wondering where the journey will conclude... very NICE, I like it well enough to rate it as MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Owch. Just realized I gave the rating for this song twice. Oh well.

Myst - Enya? Really? Call me gutsy, or call me just plain correct, but I believe she's taken what Enya has done a step further. Enya has never gotten me the floaty sensations that this song has accomplished through sheer force of will, and force of MIX. Mix is a good word for this song, and this song has a kind of perfection to the mix quality that you will see on a very select few. Who did the mix for this, really? I'd say they're better than me, and I'm the guy mixing for other people trying to get my name out there... OH HI IRONY! ... I really do love this song, even beyond the mix quality. My first thought when someone actually told me to bring the reach broader in soft synths for Rapture was "My God. This person is bold to state that on a track that has more individual non-combined tracks than anything I've ever produced." .... Then I listen to this, and I'm just like "Well, I guess I need to step up my game..." Such a gentle song. A rare 5.0/5.0 from me. I'm actually rather astounded at your lack of reviews and plays, with this level of talent. Try getting a double digit number of reviews per month. Maybe one a day will be a good start? Aim for people who have already done reviews, but what I started out doing was doing an artist search and arranging by plays, then going to the back of the list, and starting out at those with 7 plays or more. If they're not completely inactive yet, about 50% of the time, they will be flattered that you reviewed them, and will come running to your page with serious sentiments from listening to your music as well. .... Jeez, I'm really rambling on this one, huh? _________ Okay, last note. You mentioned that my sonic reach would only grow? Well, you seem to have a knack for telling the future. Project AURA, is on its second and final go-around, and I'm bringing in a heavy focus on drums, with some of the boss themes being reminiscent of DnB with my normal array accompanying it, rather than the other way around.... ... ... ...And finally, a rare 5.0/5.0 from me for this song. Phew. Rather long review.

A nice piece of new age music carrying glimpse of Enya. A good mix of voices.
