Great work.

Not my type of music but beautifully done. Great vocals and loved the piano throughout the piece. Particularly the beginning and ending piano -- and the cello (?). Delicately done.

Great melodies.

Every thing was very well done.

I can hear the TesseracT influence all over this between the guitar riffs and your vocalist channeling in his inner Daniel Tompkins. Cool stuff

We've had so many glimpses of this work as it developed that I almost feel part of the journey :)

And the verdict on the journey ... simply wow! This sounds just so professional and like you've been making music for 40+ years!

If I were to pick on just one thing it would be that the vocal is a little low in the mix in places but that really is nit-picking!

Stunning!

Thanks for sharing!

It's great.
So many perfect pieces in this production.
You guys really nailed it. What a trip!
The mix is great in my ATHM50's and on my D5 & Sub, it seems like some bass build up.
You probably got your mix spot on and it's my system and just in case others comment on the low end, you have my reference as well.

For some feedback if you want it.
I think the lead voc is a hair too loud because of the tone of the vocal. If you added some harmonic distortion to it and put a thin edge to it, it might find its place in the mix where it is stonger but not louder.

I think the vocal could actually use a bit more reverb in sections or maybe a long delay? Not sure. The guitars are in their world and I think the vocal needs to connect to them somewhat.

Anyway, super job. All the best with this.
