it flows beautifully. I could sit for hours and listen to this, just close my eyes and let the music take me. I thoroghly enjoyed listening to this.
Reviews for "Dream of Water and Land"
mixed feelings?
hmm, i really can't decide how i feel about this.
Its simplicity frustrates me a little. the fact that it is based almost entirely on a couple major triads doesn't seem all to difficult to me.
i do however like the fact that your pads change not just on measure beats, but in between both melody notes and eachother.

also,
the fact that the song changes and still keeps to a common rule is good.
not many musicians can keep consistant.
this flows beautifully and truly moves.
it moves tempos and effects and silence and sound,
rare that you hear so many musical tools put into one song and sound at all good.
i suppose sometimes the simplicity of a major triad still captures our hearts.

sometimes it has not to be a complex system to amaze us =)
thank you very much for this review
Escape
It's funny how people say music can take you places, places you've never been, places you have been, maybe even places you will be.
Every now and then there comes along a song or two that can do that to you even if you're not focusing on "escaping" so to speak. Many people claim that their favourite bands allow them to experience this (especially those saddening people and their emo bands!), but I believe that it's most often the ambient genres that let us out of our corporeal confines and... explore.
When I heard this song, I was in the midst of searching for ambient music for a game I'm helping to create. This song doesn't fit in with what I was looking for, but I was glad that I stopped to listen to it all the same.
Mental images vary from person to person, but mine was of walking down a pleasant, carved stone hallway that was very blue. Not sad, but the colour, blue. Overall this is a very nicely made track, keep up the good work!

thank you very much and I share your opinion
Amazing.
After a stressful day at classes, it is nice to be able to come back and listen to this piece and feel as relaxed and calm as I do now, I sit back and the worries just vanish. I almost hurts to come back to reality after listening and realize I have to do work. But thank you and keep up the great work.
Close to tears
I have had all these problems in my life, and this song just carries them away in a cloud of dreams. I love it.
