Oh my what a beautiful sweet arrangement of sound. I want Petes family to adopt me ..this is pure sweet honey for the ears...man what a talented family !! I honestly have a short attention span for instrumentals as they rarely grab me and hold me in unless its something like Trois Gymnopedies by Eric Satie or this wonderful piece. Honestly truly beautiful

Beautiful Celtic influence married with some modern technologies in the Clannad and Canada's own Loreena McKennit kind of style. Whatever mixing problems you were having are well and truly fixed, this is a Grammy award winning mix, beautiful bass presence and use of ambience. Great instrumentation.

Excellent music. Reminds me of the kind of music you'd hear in the TV show "Firefly"... which itself was a combination of western and space themes, and similarly this music seems to effortlessly combine elements from both the past and the modern age. 
Works really well, a pleasure to listen to.

A very nicely laid out combination of sounds. The all-too-brief change around 2m20 has a wonderfully relaxing feel before dropping back into the original uptempo style. I almost imagined at one point a marching band of bagpipes were going to appear from the aural mist created from the smooth synths and the almost Highlandesque mandolin playing. Top stuff.

The harp arpeggios in the distance add a nice calmness to the busy melody evening it out perfectly
the percussion is in the perfect spot in my opinion too, sweeeet
nice arpeggio change around 1:38 =)
the violin adds a completely different feel to this piece that is amazing
Very nicely done with the extended reverb
epic quality =)

Nice intro, Celtic overtones. There is a lot going on here. I like this.
Well produced and mixed - even being such a busy arrangement you can hear it all. This tune requires a few listens to get you head around the composition.

If you asked me a mandolin and violin would likely be my least favorite instruments. I had no idea they could be used in such a blissful (to reverberate the word) way. Incredible, the viola was stunning not that any other part of this song was any less delicious.
