Once Upon a Dream (Part DOS)

[Diego Ayala]

Tommy.......  I just totaly love how you just jump in there with your leads - it takes me to my own dream state - parte seis y un medio~~~~~  Keep dreaming my friend 'cause they seem to be coming out via your music!  Every time I hear your changes into a lead mode in you songs is like reving up a rocket and pressing the button to let it rip into outerspace = cool!

Superb Tommy, absolutely superb. Your vocals are really good, they suit the style of music very well. And the music is awesome, I love the way you build it up to the heavy parts that come in at about 2 minutes. And the heavy parts are fantastic, just stunning guitars that are so powerful. The solo is awesome, an absolute belter. I love it all round, epic IS the only way to describe it.

A couple of production thoughts from me. I didn't mind the "lopsided" rhythm guitar because you have it in stereo with the synth in the right channel, although if you could boost the RH channel a bit that wouldn't hurt. Vox are a little low, but not by much, you want a nice ethereal feel to them. I was getting quite a lot of clippling on the bass and rhythm guitar when the heavy part comes in at about 2 minutes. The levels are pretty high and when it gets heavy, most bands pretty much go to 11 which does create some clipping in my high quality headphones. It's not terrible but if you do tweak the mix, it would be worth taking the overall levels down a bit if you can.

This is indeed epic! reminds me a little of Queen and Meatloaf! but it's all Satch!

Don't know how you do it, Tommy - but keep doing it! Bring on Part Tres! 

[Satchwood]

Thank you for the comments Diego, Nigel, Gritter, Mark, Mav, and Cuth!! 

I really appreciate you all taking the time to listen and comment, and even critique so that i can improve my craft ~ thanks for that Nigel! 

I've kind of put Part Tres on the back burner, for a short while due to some other music projects that i'm working on...
