Mystic Village

nice. live instruments. very different than most stuff posted in here.

"here it is" has some pink-floydish guitar moments near the end that i liked. "alpha storm" also reminds me of "the wall".

"portal ride" and "calmly it gives" are the two i liked the most. good focus and drive on these ones. especially like the live crowd sounds on the second one. the music needs more unexpected stuff like that.

technically, the album has a good groove, the live playing is well done, and everything is cohesive and well mixed for the most part.

overall, i'd like to hear more surprises. try to create more tension and excitement.. something that makes the listener say 'hey, i wasn't expecting that, but i like it', details that reward repeated listening. you're laying down an excellent foundation, but most of the time, it's not challenging the listener or pushing the boundaries enough.
