This is a nice clean flowing track this. I like a lot, lovely rolling bassline and groovey bouncey beats.
The track has that classic ambient DnB floaty feel, lets the mind wander without being too intrusive. The only thing I'd say with this one is the Piano doesn't quite come to the fore enough for me, it would have been nice perhaps if it came forward a bit with more reverb...but then I'm a reverbholic:) Its a very clean sound, and I don't know wether I'm getting long in the tooth, but for 94 that sounds quite progressive...maybe:) ?.
Anyway, very nice indeed, liked it loads.

Very solid track production with superb sound quality but this is to be expected of FreeBrick/Icotec, yes they are one & the same:) "Imonia XV" is based around melodies played by piano & orchestral sounding strings poised majestically against a collage of synthezisers, rather light drums, filtered & echoed voice samples & more. Fairly light & relaxing in mood with a few breakdowns in between the action. Lovely progressions add to the flavour & keeps the listener interested. Summary: As usual a high quality track by this artist. Only gripe=BAD ending that just cuts off?? Very nice on a Sunday morning:D

Beautiful piano playing here, sounds like an improvisation though can't be sure? A mix of Classical & Jazz Ballad style it would seem? Lovely progressions (0.53) and fluent melodies (01.00). Chick Corea comes to mind ("My Spanish Heart"). Only gripe is the sound quality but i get the notion it's intentional by FreeBrick. Summary: Great music & improvisation=well worth the download despite the sound quality and length (2:10):D

Rachel's Theme starts off with a Beautiful main theme that sounds like you've heard it before, an unexpectedly light and rather funky groove enters and really blends well with the said theme. This passage sounds as though it could be used for a movie soundtrack as it has a certain epic quality about it, nice. At 1.13" a second melody/theme is brought in, which is nice but i'm not too fond of the sound used here, matter of taste i suppose? It's not out of place or anything, just nothing special compared to the rest of the track that has such tastefulness and balance to it but to be fair this is just plain nit pickin' on my behalf. Did i say that the strings are gorgeous? No? well they are:) Not to mention all the other sounds going on meanwhile through the track, too many to mention as there is a broad variation of sounds and rather loose feel to the track in general. Production is flawless and the track boasts a really full sound on my 5.1 Pc system, no faults there. Nice structure also as the main melody returns but with variations that include a female Indian (guessing?) vocal sample that really fits the mood here, which by the way is light though slightly melancholy & dreamy. Excellent work!

Wow!! The melodies created in this song are nothing short of superb:) But cleverly FreeBrick does'nt satisfy himself with that as the B & C parts strip away the melodies and thus save them from becoming over exploited and tiresome=wise. Beautiful strings and an atmospheric kaleidoscope of other sounds throughout add to make this a very romantic, sad & classic FreeBrick track. Summary: Love "Streets of Bangkor" completely & can't think of anything negative to say about it:D

A surprising atmospheric breakbeat piece. A great job on the mix - each track is distinct and crisp, well panned, and clearly not stepping on the frequency toes of any other track. A breakbeat piece lives or dies on the strength of the drum programming, and 'sub sonor' does the drums justice (despite the mispelled title). Fantastic sounds, great mix, and the change-up at 4:00 bumps the song rating from good to great. Excellent work.
