     Hello. Nice chord progression. How did you voice the chords? I played 
around with it and came up with my own variation and added just a little 
to 
the progression. Here's an simple example of my variation of your 
progression 
In Cminor: 
Cm, D7, Fm6/C, G7/B, Cm7, Ebm7/Gb, F#7/E, F, F7, Bb. I found my ear 
wanting 
to move from the BbM at the end immediately to the parallel minor. Thusly 
starting the progression over again a whole step down.
     This is something very good to pursue. I have to admit that mostly 
when 
I loop melodically/motivically, I am very modal.
