Great Voice-Over And Interesting Music Track
author: PsychTroub, Moberly, Missouri
This song ("Alchemist and the Inquisitor") succeeds for a couple of reasons:
1)The music backing is a really good New Age type of song: lush synths, watery-sounding samples, brushed cymbals, and jazzy-sounding piano runs. Overall, a great piece of work.
2)The voice-over work is very well produced, with a very clear, professional tone. The male vocalist has a great tone and his phrasing is first rate.
3)Interesting set of lyrics about alchemy and its history. Amazingly, the track (which runs over 20 minutes) doesn't drag at all. The outro is also very interesting, suddenly rising in the mix: driving drums and a nice dub-like guitar chordal riff, with a good fadeout featuring sustained synth chords.
Good effort.

Worthy Of An Award - Great Piece Of Spoken Word Production
author: sirgiant from Belleview, Florida
Very professional. This is well written and the speaker delivering this piece is a talented and articulate orator. Very gifted. The synths lifting this up gently in the background serve this piece very effectively. Your placement of musical elements and sound effects in order to illustrate the story being told are excellent! The story, the delivery, and the musical composition accompanying this make it a pleasure to listen to. Very entertaining and wonderfully produced. Nothing needs to be changed here, at all! Clearly a five star performance.

Wow.
author: AwkWurdSylence from Birmingham, Alabama
What an incredible story. So sad, yes, but very reflective on things going on today in modern times. Destroying the lives of innocent people, robbing them of their culture, because we can and we want to--it's happening all over the globe.
But still, context aside, this was an inspiring story! I'd thought about doing something like this, a story with music in the background, but I'm no good at telling stories. But you! A perfect voice for storytelling. Low and a bit scratchy--so familiar, not robotic or sappy to any extent, just like you were recounting your own experience to a group of friends, or children, sitting around a table.
This was the first review I've written, I think EVER, where I didn't type till it was completely over.
The music was an excellent touch, and I noticed that you weren't stuck to one genre, by ANY means. I heard elements of classical, jazz, electronic, the music was everywhere yet still fit perfectly.
This was an EXCELLENT song to review--I want to hear more from this artist!
