I loved this song! It really did remind me of the classic noir series. The best part was probably when it stopped at around 2:32. I really did get the feeling that it was simply over. Instead, you kept on coming with more great tunes! It's just such a relaxing song.

At the same time, it's extremely ambitious. It gives me the feeling of being in some café while there's a crime scene in town. Maybe I've just been watching too much NWAR. I'm surprised this hasn't been used in anything! It's long, but well worth it! As a Book Ends, I loved this song!

This is amazing. In my opinion this shows both the emotion of the instrumentalists and the character of the song.

Man, I could seriously fall asleep to this. It calms me.

Amazing job. I found nothing wrong with it. It was pure beauty.

Hey there!

Nice feeling you are creating here. Solid work. Only thing i miss is a piano-solo part. Anyway very cool! Keep on :D

SMES responds:

Hey hey!

Thanks so much! As much as a piano solo would be amazing, our piano player already had a solo in the last 3 songs we did so I slapped his face and gave the solo to the bass. =P

Thanks and I listened to your songs as well, amazing stuff!
Cheers =D

Beautiful! This truly sits well in the Jazz section here on NG. Great to hear real instruments arranged and played well for a change :)

SMES responds:

Thanks so much! Well hopefully there will be plenty more arrangements ahead =)
