Can totally get lost in this track...good for when I want to escape this planet...in my head that is. Good job and thinking outside the box...or thinking out side this world lol

18 minutes and 34 seconds well spent! Its very relaxing and a really great background song for almost any quiet activity like drawing. Well done!

Thoughts while listening:

19 minutes! What? I hope I don't get interrupted. OK...one minute in...and very slight changes...kinda hypnotic...it's a long song, so you have the time to build, I guess. I recognize the sound of Saturn there...so we've got sounds recorded by radio telescopes. Always a creepy ambience. I can recall spending an hour listening to Jupiter with my brother once. Wonderful to hear that kind of power. Simple build at 330...just what it needs. At 5 mins now...enjoying the ambience. Very hypnotic in quality. 630...begins to sound like something Phill Glass would do. 7 minutes...majour change...and yet so subtle. 9 minutes...just chillin' here...recalling how small I am. This is wonderfully rich, and simple. I'm loving how you really give me time to just sit with and absorb the chords as they come. It's the exact opposite of what jazz players do. 13 minutes. Feels darker now. I don't know if I'm more sitting in the arctic, or floating in the void of space. Dark background sounds at 14 minutes. Like a super-rapid pulsar, or something. Radio telescope sounds to close out, I'm guessing. There is an awful lot going on here, but I don't know that it's you that really gets the credit, to be fair.

Thoughts after listening:

This was rich, powerful, moving. Quite the soundscape. My only problem with it is that I have listened to hours of space sounds, and I'm not sure just how much credit you should really get for this use of them. Where is the line between copying and art, I guess? Now, to your credit, the end result is incredibly moving, so you'll get little complaint from me as a listener. I could sit back and stare into the sky all day with this in a set of headphones. My issue is as a composer, this is minimalistic in the extreme, and perhaps I feel some envy at how simple it truly is to make. But there's the rub, right? I could paint for days and not have the impact of three lines done by Picasso, no matter how much effort went into each. Perhaps the truth is that skill counts more than effort. If effort made one rich, every rickshaw driver in India would be a billionaire.

Overall, this was a fantastic listening experience, and I thank you for it.

Ambient is not so much my style. I haven't done it in years and only recently have I picked it back up through some Downtempo.

Despite the sheer length, it is very, very good. For me, the intro was a bit too long, especially with the same beating hi-hat rhythms you have going on with those occasional swells of noise and squares in the background. But it was well worth the wait when it found movement at 4:00 in.

You've got some smooth square pads that aren't at all, in the least bit, intrusive. It makes for some pretty sweet and thick soundscapes. The previous reviewer said it "needs more bass". This is ambient; when you have such large soundscapes, you've got all the bass you'll ever need.

The only thing is I feel some frequencies to be a bit too piercing around the low end when you do your pseudo-bass drop (as I can only describe it as such), but that's probably due to resonance. The same could be said for the high-end when you have squares mixing in together - it's around the 1-3K area of the spectrum.

(That was just half-way into the track.)

Thirteen minutes in and I'm encapsulated in the space. It's very ethereal, and the wind-type sounds accentuate it very nicely. It reminds me a lot of artistic video games that I've played, like FEZ or Monument Valley where you have these huge stages with puzzles and the music is very slow to move, windy and graceful with accents here and there. Only until now have I noticed that the beating hi-hats have since gone, which also reminded me of music concrete - sounds used to make an aural montage.

Nearing the end, the tone changed a bit. It was very light and airy and now it seems a little more ominous. More wind is present and your pads have a darker tone to them, a sign of the night life after hitting mid-day as it would seem.

A very good track, I believe. It's a lot like those youtube videos where you see songs or other things being slowed down by 100-300 times their normal speed and you get this really cool plane of just air, at least in one sense or another.

Nonetheless, a great piece. Provokes some visual experiences as well.

Well done.

This is not my taste, but I can tell the right type of audience would dig it.

For me it is too slow and too repetitive, but for other it would be good "space out" music.
