     I must admit, I was reluctant to sign up for Yet Another User Account On 
A Web Site I'll Probably Never Visit Again.  I'm very glad I did, however - I 
enjoyed your tune *very* much!

     The only thing that bothered me was the piano at about 4:00.  It felt too 
thin and small to blend into the rich musical backdrop you'd created, and it 
didn't quite feel raw enough to be out-of-place in a "good" sort of way.  
FWIW, you might try reversing the piano samples, or perhaps doing something 
to make them sound cheaper/grainier and/or stranger.  Alternatively, you 
could dump a bunch of reverb on it to give it more of an ethereal quality, 
but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun, would it? ;)

     I look forward to hearing more of your stuff!
