Re: Delurk and request for feedback

I played your track while doing things around the house.  I had trouble 
deciding whether it was supposed to be ominous or have a positive feel 
to it.  It seemed to somewhat transition from one to the other mood.  
Part of that, as DogFaced Boy hinted, was the monastic vocal sounds.  
All that said, never did it sound like it wasn't good music; I liked 
it.  It will be hard to know whether you are barking up the wrong tree 
if you don't describe the tree up which you are trying to bark.  If you 
are wondering whether the music fits the slide show, for me, it did 
not.  I didn't WATCH the whole thing, but if the visual/audio cohesion 
lost me early-on, that speaks for itself.
