    Review of "Symphony of the Stones"
    You have excelled yourself within this symphony so far William, I can only say it is an honour to act as witness to an artist who is producing his masterpiece of his life, and to have the opportunity to hear such work 'directly' is probably beyond most peoples expectations. You are defining yourself more clearly with every note you write my friend, every bar must be our whole life and each note must 'hold time' and tell its own story, tastefully and immpeccably emmbeded within the music. This symphony is a great achievement William, I would say it was your best work yet!

    Review of "Symphony of the Stones"
    "The Vortex" is a wonderful advert for your music! I am not the greatest music appreciator in the way some can give in depth critical analasis, but I can say when a track moves me. I am moved by this track, really, GOOD WORK! Without doubt this is the finest track I have heard since being here on mp3.com.

    Review of "Symphony of the Stones"
    That's a monstrous production William! Not only that but very enjoyable and with depth. I definitely like this one! PERFECT film music. You should have no problem to get a licensing deal for this one. Respect, this was a LOT of work, musically and technically!

    Review of "Symphony of the Stones"
    I have two words for this, MAJESTIC & MAGNIFICENT!
    Review by The Bard of Ely

    Review of "Inertia"
    The power of an orchestra, the delicacy of a piano... I could easily see this used for a film, especially the beginning. It's complexity begs to be transcribed for a full orchestra, and yet is completely suitable for the piano. A very enjoyable listen. Well done!
    Review by Chuck

    Review of "Momentum (piano)"
    First off, i'd like to say that I am loving your music at the time. Its kinda cool to see someone do both classical music and boy band music at the same time. It gives good diversity. One track I particularly love is the piano version of "Momentum." I love it so much, that I'd like to sample it for a song I am producing. If I give you credit for the sample would you let me use it? It would be a joy to do it.

    General Review
    I found your mp3.com web site and have been listening to the music. I really like it! I work on a student-produced college sketch comedy show called the Silly Spider Monkey Fiasco, and we would love to use some of your film music in the show.
