Back to the Seed (demo)
This is "Faith" (in case you remember it).

DON'T LISTEN TO WHAT'S ON THE BANDAMP PLAYER.

Since the BandAMP player don't allow files bigger than 10mb I has to use another player.
The song is 15:40 mins long. Sorry for it, but I guess you will find some very interesting parts, specially in the end.

Here's the link to listen to it: http://soundcloud.com/iszil/iszil-back-to-the-seed-demo

This is the whole composition missing the vocals and solos.

I want to know what you think of this as it is now before starting with the final step, which is becoming a bit more tricky than what I expected.

Hello Iszil.  This is in my humble opinion one of the best tracks Ive ever heard here on the amp.   Seriously, I thought Id get bored with it without the vocal and/or guitar solo, but the piece as it stands now held me all the way through. WOW!
Awesome job.  Production and mix was great,  Music was tight across the board.

Cant wait to hear it finished.

Thank you, Skunk. I feel flattered.
I'm writing the lyrics at the moment, which are based on a tale by the cuban Alejo Carpentier called "Journey to the Seed", the story about the lifetime of a man told backwards (it's marvelous literature).
It's really difficult to make decent lyrics out of it but I'm trying to do my best.
I hope I finish the song soon.
Cheers.

Reviewed on ´cloud`..............Impressed .............frightening goooooood.
A question : I´m sensing so many influences of 70s "Deutschrock " / "Krautrock " -Bands like "Frumpy " ,
"Atlantis " (4´30- 6´30) ; european bands like "Ekzeption " (NL) , "Gong" , " Brand X " , some "Zappa " and        " RTF " , and many , many more . Where did you get all this influences ? Did ya parents listen to stuff like this ?
You´re a relativly young man , so it´s lil surprising to me that ya preferations aren´t in modern eletronocal styles or Hiphop or something like that .
I make a guess : you´re a music student and this track will become ya masterpiece ?!?! 
If you´re not , it´s still a masterpiece .    (Will be.....)

From all those bands you named I only know Gong and Zappa. There rest, well, I guess I'll have to look them up since their look interesting by what you say.
My influences are mainly Rush, Yes, Genesis, Led Zeppelin, EL&P, Deep Purple, IQ, The Flower Kings, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and many many more, but that gives you an idea.
And no, I'm not a music student. I was for 2 years but I quit. I'm just a guy who loves making prog music and tries to do it well.
Who got me into prog music was my uncle. Before that I only listened to The Beatles. From 6 to 13 my only band was The Beatles. After that I got classic and progressive rock. BTW, my dad started listening to bands like Rush or Led Zeppelin because of me. Funny, uh?
Anyways, thank you for the comments. I'm still working on this. Finished recording the solos. Now I have to finish writing the lyrics so I can start recording them.
Cheers.

Listened again.   I definitely hear the Rush, Yes, Genesis ELP etc influences in this track. Especially Rush.
A great Prog-Rock-Operatic song with nicely transitioned "movements". that will be great music for the Lyrics, since you plan telling a story over time.
Frighteningly Gooooood as ULI said. 
Once again,  Great Job.  Much respect...SA

ok . I listened to this work on soundcloud. First off I am a bit diappointed you published this as a demo without having finished (missing vocals and soli). I can wink at that... but as I realized that you faded out and did not come to an end I was really disappointed.

Man, your developments in this work are incredible and your musical mind is so mondial.

please finish it and make a huge ending. This work deserves it. Now it's up to you.

Chapeau!

edit:
forgot sth to say: the organ solo is very midi, isnt it?

I have to disagree with you there, TK. I think the fade out was the most proper ending for it. I'm aware that you are not a big fan of that but somehow I felt it fit in the song. You know, it's the same melody from the beginning repeating and disappearing over time... I like it like that.

About posting it as a demo first, it's just to make sure the mix is fine before showing the final result. I'm still not very confident with my mixing skills so I have to ask for advice. Just that.

Well, thanks for the comments.
Cheers.
