thoughtlessjex: I understand what you mean about the accessibility. Yes, it probably should be split into parts. As for the long beatless section from about 31:00 to 34:00 -- one of my favorite gimmicks in DJ sets is the "pre-climax track with no beat that lets you cool down before the final frenzy", so that's sort of what that's for...
Oh, and once again, as silly as it sounds, that rough, wonky sounding production was intentional The lack of creative sound design was also intentional. I love the idea of juxtaposing VERY basic, low-fi and stripped-down electronic sounds with complicated musical composition, so that's what I was going for.
Trancevision: I grew up listening to Tubular Bells. I agree that my track shows a strong Mike Oldfield/Tubular Bells influence, so I'm delighted that you think so too -- by the way, the length of Trial of the Mind is 48:49 if you discount the trailing silence at the end. That's EXACTLY the same length as Tubular Bells (both parts combined), down to the very second! And it was a complete accident! Crazy, huh?
