  Hi all,

 After getting Specimen to an acceptable state, I threw together this
 proper demo.  It has no vocals since me and my larynx don't get along,
 but I encourage anyone who so desires to rectify that deficiency. 
     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!
