    Aftermath_FIN is very talented and flexible, I'm confident he can make the desired changes. He's already working on the lite version and I'll draw his attention to this feedback if he's not already watching the thread! Thank you so much for your praise, I know it means a LOT to all of us. :)

    Holt, et all,
    It is hard to express how thankful and fortunate I feel listening to all of your work.
    It is hard to imagine what we would have done without you.
    It is SUCH a joy to listen to your fine work!
    Wow!

    Quetzalcoatl,
    Love the melody as well. Overall its great.
    I have one modification request.
    Example: from 0:11 - 0:32 and a number of other places, you are using a synthy sounding "angelic voice".
    Can we replace that voice with either live vocals, or somehow else make a more natural sound envelope to you fine melody.
    Another suggestion, is that at the end, I don't precisely have a riff in my head, and its seems "so close".
    So perhaps when you revoice that melody, also look to make the full phrase, something I will hear up front and repeated, such that I walk away with it more in my head,

    So, one more pass on this one please!
    Great work!
    - LB

    Jarrod,
    Another fine piece!
    Did the last note get cut off before decaying?
    Wonderful, thanks!

    Approved!

    I think this is intended as it loops endlessly.

    Sir Holt,
    Unwilling to Sacrifice: Love the 3 phases of this piece!
    Love phase 2 especially.
    I wish I heard the "lead"... perhaps it is a pan flute or recorder in the first minute that seems to carry the lead, a bit more.
    Likewise in the last minute, I like the play of the harpsichord against the alternate instrument.
    Just wish I head that alternate lead more clearly.
    I already love the piece, but please see if my comments can be accommodated, without harming the piece.

    One more cycle please!
    - Lord British

    Master Musicians,
    What fine pieces you have created thus far!
    Amazing! Huzzah!

    I really love the totality.
    If I had one broad critique, or at least something to be sure to watch for future compositions it would be as follows.
    The totality of the pieces is adding up to a great playlist, but all from the fully orchestrated perspective, a movie soundtrack type experience.
    I hope to hear some less fully orchestrated, pieces.
    More as if an indigenous group played them (with a few modern cheats added in to sweeten the mix), rather than a 40 piece orchestra.
    I hope to hear more clear and memorable melodies, simple melodies, ear worms, that repeat but with some transposition or variation.
    Keep referring back to Ultima music, especially Ultima's III to VII.
    Iolo's Baron of Eastmarch is also a great touchstone.

    Wow, just wow... thanks!

    Major track "Kobold Invention", awaiting Portalarium approval approved by Lord British!

    It is designed to have the same basic feel as "Kobold Industry", maintaining the gritty/industrial sound to a degree. My idea for this song was to exemplify the fact that the Kobolds are in fact 'inventing', but at the cost of suffering and lives, like a mad scientist experimenting on innocents in the name of progress.
