acidic fantasy said… - thanx for the comments don.much appreciated friend.i also really like your ambient fx.not a lot of folk grasp how to use them to create atmospheric feeling.are you using the pantheon refill on some.if not then you seem to be creating the same magical textures that the producers that created pantheon did.ive done a few similar tracks by editing the pantheon sounds but still need some tweaking.i will be putting them up under an EDEN 57 project so watch out for them.keep it up.very pro don.cheers

soundwrx music said… - Yours is the first open forum comment on this work Don and I really appreciate your feedback. You used the word 'cinematic' and that is exactly the niche Im chasing with this material. I will post up a further mix soon after I have reworked the 'snag list'..but yeah..thats made my day!
Cheers.
