It is much Genesis-like, circa 'Nursery Crymes'. The voice is quite good. But as with the other piece I've listened to, once everything is placed, it'd be great to spend a bit more time to make the actual instruments have more punch, if possible. A bit more time on the mix could also be quite good, so that the voice (which is nice) blends a bit more with an eventual more dynamic (in tone, not in music!) backdrop. I'm very bad placed to make any statement about sound recording since I did not even get a Linux audio workstation installed yet (I was about to today, but then I found out that the Jacklab YaST address returns 404 - so now I'm trying a live CD called 'MusixGNU+Linux" and am also getting the '64 Studio' since I run a AMD dual-core. So hopefully, I'll get a taste at making and exploring music. Eventually. I know their music since quite some time, but had an opportunity to drive (from Frankfurt) and see them live in Würzburg in 2004. I filmed a good part of the concert. I also saw Isildurs Bane, both concerts organized by the same guy, Charlie (Karl-Heinz I think), who also sells CDs. I'm really looking forward at having an audio workstation. From what I read here and what I saw on different projects pages, it seems like there's an exiting choice of softwares and techniques, of sound samples and recording possibilities. If only it'd be easy to install. Not that I mind a bit of tweaking (I've built Linux From Scratch systems) but I do find that when I want to do something, like being creative at music using an audio workstation, I'm blatantly expecting not that much of 'problems' to get it working. At least not 'ground problems' like a 404 URL problem such as for SuSE Jacklab. What distro are you using ? Alles gut, Al
