Hi there , Mr. Michael-John, my name is Christian. I haven't been a pro member here since 2015 or so for a variety of reasons, as such I don't come back here too often, only to access my old tunes because I didn't back them up before I got rid of the studio gear there were recorded on ( sorry, btw I sometimes have difficulty with my self editing when it comes to writing...lol),.... ANYWAY, the site changes a lot and as a mini member I don't see an option for me to write reviews for the songs of other members I here I am. WHEW!.....I have listened to about 4 of your tunes, I think they're all very good but one in particular I really, really liked was ...shit now I forget the title and in worried if I leave this page to look, I'll lose all this brilliant narrative. I'm thinking your song I'm referring to is called, "embrace the darkness". It's an instrumental and it really rocks. The riffs are killer along with the main melody and solos. I had some other more specific comments but now I forget them now and I can't relisten right this moment due to the same fear mentioned above. As a fellow mostly one man band these days that does a lot of rock instrumentals I know how hard it is to write an instrumental that holds the listeners interest all the way through but you succeeded. I'm sorry this isn't the most cohesive comment but again, great song and the three others were very good too, particularly one where you have a male vocalist working with you who sounds a lot like Geoff Tate from Queensryche. Take care, Sir, keep on rockin and keep on sharing your excellent work with us all. I've been out of the music world for a while but I'm getting ready to come back so when I get some new stuff done, I'll likely become a pro member here again so maybe then I'll see how I can submit individual song reviews, and won't have to leave these novellas on your comments page.
Christian
PS, I think it would be cool if you added more specific info to your song pages and profile, particularly detailed performance, recording info, gear used, etc.

Hey. Christian,
Thanks for the listens and the kinds words. Embrace The Darkness has vox on it. The vocalist is another BJ member Riq Turner. He's really a great writer and vocalist, stop by his page and check him out.
Best,
George

George, you rock, man! Terrific music that sounds like it came from the old masters...no gimmicks or fluff, just straight to the point rock with punch and finesse. I listened to a couple tunes plus "Walking on Fire" which is haunting and atmospheric. Excellent music! Many thanks for your listen and review of "Ride the Wave." It means much more to get the vote of confidence from a talent like you who knows his stuff. Arden Snow produced it with his magic. He's on here, too. Thank you! John
