So I listened to it on my brother's pc with bad speakers due to my alsa breakage ...
brought a smile to my face right away. It's quite sweet, more so than I would 
have dared to make it, but I like it very much :D
It's very fluid, airy, joyful. At places I would have liked a more strict rhythmical 
alignment, but perhaps that would have been harmful (and hard to do).
The part after the break, about 1:15 is especialy nice. You picked up the build-up 
/roll before the break to silence very well, respect!
I think the flute gets a bit in the way of the fade out, but i'm nitpicking now.
It's great. Don't listen to a glass half empty person too much ;)

Steve, I would love to see this added to ccmixter.org. Best with your parts also 
in separate files added to the mix (additional files can be 'associated' with an
upload afterwards). All the empty 'I sampled this' fields on my page there look 
so sad ;)  If you can't be bothered to create an account there, i could pick up 
your files as you make them avalibale and put them there myself, giving you all 
due credit, of course. But I will respect it, should you not want that at all 
without bad feelings.

It would generaly be cool, to see more free/open music made with free/open 
tools up there.

Hey, I thank you, Steve, for taking one part and delivering back a most enjoyable 
whole :)


Best,
