The Selkie....

[The Reverend 48]

There is a tale about a lovely seal that shed her skin as she came upon the shore. She transformed into a beautiful woman and became a delight to the eyes of fishermen in those parts. One day an old man took her seal skin as she was bathing in the shallow waters and she soon became the wife of the lonely man. She spent her days as a good and loyal companion to the man until one day she found her skin and she returned to the sea as seal once again........

For this was her destiny, to fill the heart of a lonely old man with love and service until she was called back to the sea........

Superb stuff, Mike. This is so beautifully put together. Lots going on, but it's so coherent, listenable, and more importantly, classy. There's a slightly 'greek' feel on some of the guitar work. I love it!

A blinder of a tune, excellent ..........

[scottieD]

Loved it....catches a great mood, and great story....love the vocals....are they sampled?

[Tony W]

The production on these pieces are fabulous. I can tell that I'm missing a lot of cool effects with the lack of hearing, but on occasion I flip the cans to hear what I can. This sounds right on the verge of a pro performance Mike. This is definitely going on the Ipod for repeat listens.

[Rata-tat-tat]

Yes... agree... you're doing some really stunning work with these tracks. Very good stuff.

Thanks for the comments guys
The vox was from a sample
and the drums are from "Fruity loops"
The drum and percussion loops are all joined and layered
