After having done the Autumn Autobahn,I figured a winter version autobahn would be appropriate....it's not winter yet,but I could'nt wait for the next season to unfold,as I was inspired by the array of flourescent bulbs with the daylight glow that I had bought for all my lamps in my apartment.  My apartment is now illuminated with a wintery hue..wow..talk about MOOD lighting!  I hope this little ditty gives you all the feeling of an artic chill in a wintery landscape.  |

Again a very catchy intro and a nice buildup.
This song has a good groove, i like songs like that.
The break fits well, is a good contrast with the song, without breaking the mood.
And of course a good production
Another good one !!

And of course a good production
That segment from 1:40 to 2:43 is pure genius....  |

Kara, Changing the mood of a song,by playing on variations of the theme while still being able to come up with a drivable drum track is a difficult thing for me...that being said,I appreciate the kind review-very happy you like it-thanks! -Thom |

Oren, Wow....genius  ...a very kind thing to say-thank you! My Korg still manages to inspire me,but still,I am growing frustrated with being limited to just 5 insert effects,because in alot of instances,I end up using 3 insert effects for just one program patch to get the sound I want...all the more reason to get my hands on Reason 4! -Thom |

Like the way this moves. Definitely get the feel of the arctic.
One suggestion. How about a 'dusting' of sharp, brittle tinkly sounds occasionally? You have the glaciers and snow, but no ice crystals.

Will, I actually had some sound effects in mind & between 1:11 & 1:36 I added a piano/synth sound,whereby I tweaked the resonance performance control to get some chirpy sounds,but due to the numerous problems I encountered with distortion,I was very minimal with the volume,in an effort to circumvent any more spikes in volume. Whenever I use the "talking modulator" effect for a guitar patch,I always run into distortion problems & to make matters worse,this effect(since it's combined with other effects),some of my other tracks share this same effect-since I only have 5 insert effects to work with. As a result,I ended up spending just as much time re-mixing & mastering as I did writing the material,to resolv the distortion issues that always come up,as it's all a very delicate balance. Thanks for the comments & the input. -Thom |

Thom, you’re getting better and better with each upload  I really liked the part around 1:00 to 1:15. Great staccato lead with bass and drums – super Great transition around 1:45. I loved that part from then to around 3:00. All I can say is WOW |

Very very progressive ! I love those variations, it's a real musical journey. You fit so many things into 3' 22" Very solid structure, smooth transition. Every change makes sense. Well done Cheers |
