Dimitar Nalbantov - Mother Earth

[Brian Dobbs]

Dimitar, I finally listened to your CD that I got for Christmas.  I have some thoughts, but I'll have to write more later.  So far, I'm really digging Tsunami, a song I haven't heard from you before.

more later...

More on your album...

Tsunami is definitely my favorite song of yours from this disc.  Your compositions are perfect.  You have an excellent sense of melody and rhythm.

The only thing I would change is to bring the drums up in the mix.  IMO, the quality of the drums are what separates "demo" recordings from "professional" recordings.  I think everything is mixed great, especially the guitar, but for any new recordings you do, I would consider bringing the drums up in the mix.

Thanks Brian ! happy to hear you liked the Tsunami song
Yeah I know about the drums and some other things but I'm still learning and it is hard to do everything alone...
Anyway I will try to do my best on my next project!

Tsunami is my new favorite song dude.  Awesome melody.  I especially love the part from 1:15 to 1:38.  That kicks so much ass!  Most noobs on forums who play guitar couldn't write a song this good even if it took them their entire lives.

BTW, you did a great job with the drums.  The "performance" is perfect for your songwriting.  Here at this forum I want to try and offer constructive criticism to help, not to demean.  Believe me, what you produced is better than 95% of the other stuff out there in your genre.

Your style reminds me a lot of Steve Vai, almost as if you guys were twins separated at birth.  The odd thing is, your songs are unique in their own right.  I hear the influence in style, but it's the songwriting here that sets you apart from most.

UNGH!
