Nocturne In Blue Minor	Tad Winklarz	Brilliant! You don't hear music like this here often. Thank you!	Doctor C	01/17/10 08:47:42
Nocturne In Blue Minor	Tad Winklarz	I love classical music played on a piano and this song is a perfect example why. Beautiful piece Tad, its flowing with emotion and deep feeling.	reapersg	01/17/10 07:07:16
Nocturne In Blue Minor	Tad Winklarz	For me it is the chord progression which set off the emotional response - reminds me a bit of Egberto Gismonti the best non-classical piano player. I love the way the whole effect is fleeting and unresolved. Great music from a man of many talents. ftlpopwe	ftlpope2	01/17/10 03:32:47
Nocturne In Blue Minor	Tad Winklarz	When it comes to piano-the one thing I wanted to learn as a kid-I'm a sucker. This is an amazing piece: full of atmosphere, gentle vibes and a sweet journey through the midst of the keys. I can't, and wouldn't dare if I could, fault the playing, the recording or mastering. In awe, ABC.	aboycalled	01/17/10 03:11:52
Ocean Of Sorrow	Tad Winklarz	I am told that the ancient celts believed that all of creation sang praises to the creator, but that unless one had learned to listen all they would hear is silence. This track makes me think you found the frequency the rocks, and water and trees sing on, and recorded a little sample for all of us to hear. Super job!	Greymonk	12/21/09 16:00:25
New Attitude	Tad Winklarz	Very ambient, nice rhythm and melody. I agree with ftlpope2, very cool indeed!	Greymonk	12/21/09 15:56:00
Random Chances	Tad Winklarz	I had never before heard the expression "Acid Jazz" and I have to say that if this is Acid Jazz I love it! Just a super track. Wicked guitar, excellent sound to it. Pure ear candy!	Greymonk	12/21/09 15:49:20
Out To Lunch	Tad Winklarz	Thanks for posting this - bring us more! Great work!	stephan foster	12/20/09 10:35:30
Out To Lunch	Tad Winklarz	As an exercise in piano playing this is excellent. Has a kind of scat style which also works for me. I liked the stop start phrasing, you got a great tone and feel to this piece. Very well done	Markyone	12/20/09 08:22:46
Out To Lunch	Tad Winklarz	Well this is the first listen for me this Sunday morning......very abstract and moving at the same time.....could change the course of my day.......I was planning on electronica.......but may go into jazz mode instead....cool tune !!	Lucindra	12/20/09 07:18:23
New Attitude	Tad Winklarz	Same feel as Ocean of Sorrow but a clearly a jazz slant and mantric rhythm - a steady wave of coolness. Most enjoyable. ftlpope	ftlpope2	12/20/09 01:28:42
Ocean Of Sorrow	Tad Winklarz	Momentous sounding title and slow development. Nomad32 would like this. Ambient in the most calculated way but a sure sense for the feel - no broad brush strokes - sort of musical muttering in a serious introspective mode truly music ftlpope. ftlpope	ftlpope2	12/20/09 01:24:35
Out To Lunch	Tad Winklarz	I have not heard anything quite like this on the Mix or anywhere else for that matter - modern jazz with a classical edge I think. Pretty stunning stuff. ftlpope	ftlpope2	12/20/09 01:09:11

Kaszuby	Tad Winklarz	Classical sounding stuff done electronically can often sound naff so it is all about the composition itself and like the earlier Yurek stuff, this is very well judged, very musical and emotional. ftlpope	ftlpope2	03/21/10 05:19:08
Kaszuby	Tad Winklarz	Nie wiem czy moge pisac po polsku - zaryzykuje;) Doskonale czuc melancholie polskiego klimatu. Jerzy	Yurek	03/21/10 03:35:33
Kaszuby	Tad Winklarz	Very tasteful and elegant. definitely tells a story, almost a tragic one at that. well arranged and written. a nice change compared to other music on this site. Kevin aka Radio Dystopia	radio dystopia	03/20/10 23:48:17
Pixies Dust	Tad Winklarz	Man that is some brilliant piano playing. This is really fantastic. I am impressed with your skill!	Dazed	01/28/10 13:56:11
Pixies Dust	Tad Winklarz	Nice post modern piano work with hints of Prokofiev sounding (possibly improvised) melodic passages.	Mincer	01/28/10 06:55:26
Pixies Dust	Tad Winklarz	Consumate solo piano playing and not so avant as to deter any listener. To my hearing this would not be out of place in the modern classical cannon. Very enjoyable. ftlpope	ftlpope2	01/28/10 05:37:54
