I am uploading a lower fidelity version here due to the upload restriction.  But I will include a link to a much higher fidelity version in remarks below.

Experimenting with sound production in this tune, so I hope you like it - I think you'll find it will make you smile.

Feedback on mix is appreciated.

Those things we take for granted - when we're young and immature - will surely return to haunt us when we're old and insecure

Thank you - I acknowledge that it is a long one... but it is a sonic trip that I could stop playing.  Glad you like it.

Mix sounds cool to me.  Tight clean and smooth as hardlock says.  Very suitable for production or relaxation music - which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned and quite marketable.  Otherwise - if you want me to be frank - getting on for 7 minutes is maybe a bit strong.  Nevertheless this is a beautifully produced, quality piece of music.  The snare sound is great.  I do love a good snare.

Very impressive.

Yep snare's a real mood setter and environmental perfect groove producer IMHO (had to play with it a bit to be not too over done).  Glad you liked it.

Just beautiful and so relaxing; the perfect way to start an early morning. The production/instrumentation is first class and I love that underlying riff on the guitar. Lovely flute sound too and a great spacious mix.

Very nice Mike as ever. Yes definitely a mood setter this. It's funny the snare was mentioned in a previous comment as I was going to say I would tweak the sound of it a bit. Give it a bit more of the higher frequencies and knock out some of the low... give it more of a crack to it. I am no whizz on production though so take that into account... and I am listening on an average pair of headphones! Apart from that production sounds great... the whole soundscape comes across beautiifully.
