A very creative blend of sounds expertly layered together. Space is what I picture here. There's guys that make a whole living creating music like this. Superb Michael.

Michael, this is a fantastic song in every way! Your recording is of highest quality. This is music worthy of symphonic emulation on world stage in London or New York or Seattle or wherever only the best of the best is allowed. The Game World is a modern stage for high drama and more than worthy of the finest of action, imaginative music... a la....Michael Duran...
Thank you for the pleasure of this song, and the addition to our Best of Best Music Player.

A perfect treat of the original ( in some parts even better than the original imho ), with a fantastic sound quality!! The arrangement and mix you choose, my friend, gives more space and deepness to the track, may be going a little step further in the galaxy (as not in the original) ..... your Homeworld (Kharak System) is an absolute winner. Gratulate.

Unbelievable space you have created in this composition, just really lush and clear with lots of tone. This is amazing! You must be a big game fan, and the game people should be a fan of yours as well!

Thanks MD...the only contact I have with the "games" world is through your music - I'd be totally out of touch otherwise! Awesome production - very skillful work.
