Like capt beefheart meets Bill Conti or something.. very beautifully odd. Nice originality to the whole piece.. coooly avant garde.

What a really good idea. One phrase into a composition. The just go at it.

A retro sound, combined with a dominant lead synth, following the melody lines of the synthesizer violins (or the other way around). The rest is so very calm (bass and electric piano), in Ramolly style, so smooth. I really like that sax on the beginning and at almost the end. The very last part (when sax has ended) is a complete mystery to me, but that makes it just interesting. This is very special, I enjoyed it!

Really like what you did with this - creating a very other-worldly landscape by taking a very well known phrase and transmuting it into lots of strange and wonderful shapes. This just takes you right off the beaten track into the wild blue distance and yes, you can see forever!

Great rendition of a classic Rod. Super keys and moving majesty in the arrangement. Cool interspersed jazz elements! Very nice melodic tributes to the original towards the end. Just great music!
Clever incorporation of a classic melody. To my ears it's got a bit of a Frank Zappa vibe - I dig it! I like how it twists and turns, very cool.

Great production, with so much creativity and aligning some clever and orginals music ideas together!! Starting in a soft mellow way, changing into a surreal/modern jazz style (imho): some interesting edges/dissonances that catch the attention of the listeners! I can imagine this one as a movie soundtrack as well!! As always a perfect arrangement and production made by Ramolly !! Great! :)

I love the synth sound of the main theme, the "wow-wow" sound is almost human. In the background you hear some "spoken statements" from other synths, that add to the overall melancholy feeling and it ends with a nice presentation of that first line, that you used for inspiration. Very well done!

You really added a great song with your version of this one and it was one of my favorites of the night. Of course, all top shelf out of the gate and shear brilliance. Great!

Wonderful cinematic feel to this grand reworking of a classic that leads you to Jazzy bliss with the improvisations :)

Beautiful sax play in this marvelous cover of a classic adult contemporary gem. Very interesting melodic and non- melodic elements alike grace and enhance this track. Love the synth work here. Terrific ending…Oh yeah. Excellent production Rod. Sensational!!!

Wonderful soundscape you created here in the borderline of film-music/fusion - very nice synth-theme that tender more to fusion. Well done my friend!
