Well... the guy from Swansea is my latest track, This is muchly different frmo the other templates I do have until now, so not very representative for the rest of the album I thnik.. I think it's all these X-mas green things that make me sneeze and snooze that put me in the piano mood again. Damn ya wifay, where ya at huh!?  
Happy holidays to the AS community!

Right around 1:35!!
That's all I gotta say. 
Beautiful! Then of course I enjoy the beats coming in later on with the chord 'speed bumps' if you know what I'm talkin aboot.

very elegant piece. I was floating away and was surprised by the bass & drums slipping in like that, but it is all carried off quite nicely. smooth and very tasteful. thought of zawinul if that's any help. perhaps if I give it a listen next time the snow flies sideways it'll help me find a seasonal perspective and keep the grimace off my face

Hey I am in Swansea right now! Unfortunately though my speakers aren't, so I will have to wait until after Christmas to listen

yeah, a pretty piece. agreed with Kylo...that quiet, rolling section at 1:35 is real fine.

Nice intro, great sounding piano. I like when the piano gets going, like 2:07. Was not expecting the beat, hell yeah! Thats good. Production sounds okay, although I'm streaming, but nothing stuck out as terrible. Nice job. Is this a standard christmas song?

Thanks for listening all... The track drew some inspiration from old Norwegian folk music, Kitaro (the Japanese new ager) and of course Zawinul. Well spotted Michael..

When I first listened to this without knowing who is hiding behind, I said "ow! what a nice 'n' smooth ambient-jazzy piece!" I still say the same. So nice and well made. Congratulations Frode!
