I liked it.  Minus the synth sounds, but... overall liked it I guess.  Is that a mM7 I hear?

Have you heard this record? It sounds very much like it.

I changed the link with a "new mix" link. I think it improved the track.

Thanks for listening.

Do you composer that yourself?  Do you have the printed notation for it then?  I'm interested in what the chords are.

Hi Bob,

I write everything out in pen - very sloppy though.  I never really analyze the chord structure. I believe in composing from the heart so to speak. I do realize I jump into extraneous chords in my composing.

Thanks for listening.

Could you scan the scribbles and post them here maybe?  I'm just curious.

How did you create that?  Layer it into a sequencer?

I am liking it... a lot. 

Would also like to take a peek at the score. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Actually "very much like it" would be an overstatement now when I think of it. But I think the synth sounds sounds similar. And I like them, allthough I assume they are regarded as primitive. (No offense to you)

Thanks for your interest in Dark Desires guys.

I don't own a scanner, but if I find time this week I'll jot down the basic chord structure. However the passing tones and counterpoint I use often alters the original chord structure.
