HARD ROCKIN NEW AGE
Interesting vocals in beginning. I like the mixture of hard rock meets new age, kind of different concept here..like the sweeping synths and I'm digging the guitar playing kind of like 80s shredding. And then ending with the acoustic.. This was a cool piece to listen too.. nice job

el magico has some magic
I definitely like this track. I didnt know what to expect but to my pleasant surprise i really dug this tune. It invokes etherial thoughts and really reminds me of buckethead's "colma".. really really good. Not so sure the title works for me but thats just one mans opinion. Thank you for sharing.

Up There And Back
El Magico has done it again. The introduction is a long one yet only part of this quality work. How can Hector shred scales no one ever heard of and still stay perfectly balanced and smooth. The ending, like the intro, slips you on and off the roller coaster back to earth without the slightest misstep. What have we just learned from "Hope & Faith? Oh yeah, that is correct. Keep them coming El Magico.

Sonic imagery at it's best!
I love how this song starts out in a time in space and blows wide open just shortly after it beings. Great use of sonic space and varying textures. The combination of acoustic and electronic sounds can prove to be quite a challenge at times and you handed it well!

HOPE & FAIT Review
This is track is nice. It has a nice smooth jazzy type of sound in the beginning and transition well into a more hard style rock sound. The selection of instruments and sounds were excellent as well as the sound effects. fGreat work. This track has the potentials for moving up the charts. Looking forward to more from the group.

Unique and outstandig instrumental music
This music impressed me deeply much. The unusual introduction begins with brilliant sounds inspired by modular syntheziser effects creating a great space in the backround. Powerful drum beat and professionell orchestrated electronical tunes carries the recording. In this arrangement exists also a genuinely well-played e-guitar solo. This extra factor brings additionally power into the music. Well mixed and mastered in appropriation of different music styles. Unconventional sounds and effects brings a hypnotically feel into the music. Hector Lopez (El-magico) is a brilliant composer, guitarist and instrumentalist. The versatile composition and creative passion makes the meaning of this music engaging for me. The recording unleashes the imagination and emotions also with a special distortioned e-guitar sound. Ambitious arrangement full of unconventional sounds bringing hypnotical feel into the music by using midi instrumentation and effects. I´m sure, you will like to add it. Let others know your recommendation.

Strangely good
Weird listening revealing seconds after seconds different layers of flavors. It starts as a Dream Pop with etheral vocals, followed by a guitar crystal clear to which is added other sounds of Hindu sounds. Some kids playing can also be heard. And then, a distorted guitar starts a solo with different effects. To end with some acoustic guitar, some bells and a last woman sigh. Weird as I said but damned efficient. I really like. El Magico must have a huge collection of guitars and a Santana fan.

yes
the piece starts off very nicely and continues in the right direction, the guitar solo is simply spectacular and even the guitar part with effects is divine. you see that you are a great guitarist and that you have technique and inventiveness. I am sure that if you are not already famous soon you will become and I wish you the best. I'd love to hear you play carlos santana on a slow ballad. good luck

Magic Music
Yes, at the beginning yours story is very quiet, almost like New Age Music, than slowly becoming more energetic, even dramatic, very expressive and rocking. You can hear there fantastic solo electric guitar. You are from United States, but your origin must be spanish or mexican. I wonder whether you were playing real electric guitar or just pure electronic only... Title "Hope and Faith" is suggesting very positive thoughts of the composer and player man. Please continue your job!

Prezado Hector
Sempre nos presenteando com palavras de sabedoria e boas músicas que alimentam a alma. Sons suaves meditativos e ao mesmo tempo estimulantes. Agradáveis como música ambiente com um toque de pop, na verdade é uma música para vários ambientes, desde os mais intimistas como também para ambientes públicos. Muito bom !!!

El Magico - Hope & Faith = Majestic Brilliance
WOW what can I say that you don’t already know. Yes, this is superbly crafted, arrangements that are both intelligent & familiar, the use of multiple Instruments, the KILLER lead break that simply cuts through the song and lifts it to another level is divine. This one song has something for everyone and can be the backdrop to any Movie or TV series. Hauntingly beautiful yet subtle. For me the only way to describe this song is this, it is the Iron Fist in the Velvet Glove.

No
El Magico we just came thru to give you a review on your instrumental then we will get out your way. We wanna start by saying we are open minded artist who love all types a music we just make a certain type. However this instrumental you made is ok but you seem to have gotten outta hand a little. The instrumental starts out great but ends up going all over the place. We think you should remake it, be more patient and actually listen to what your making as if you where someone else. We tend to feel what WE do is always good but isn't. Try this again.

I love the story behind the music
This is great for taking the audience on a journey. It seems like a action flick where the hero has to do the impossible in a short amount of time. This would do great for licensing with the right demographics to guide the direction of your submissions.

Excellent musicianship is evident in the performance and mood
The music is very pleasant and it does a great job of creating an ethereal mood from a unobtrusive introduction to slowly transcending into an energetic jam. The rhythm section comes alive and raises the pulse in the middle as it goes down again near the end of the instrumental. The lead guitar is superb, being a guitarist myself, I can truly judge that the performance is great. I do need to point out that the whole song is around a handful of major chords that repeat all through the song, that would be ok if there were vocals widening the spectrum but I was a bit bored after the middle and was longing for some variation.

Very Antonimic tones, Not music
Tones are Anatomic but to tones are both animistic and positive. AS far as I could tell, they are just sounds and not music. Music is a word coming from "Gods" meaning MUS or tones that are in an order by a key. "IC" is of the keys in mus. So this is really not Music. Just a bunch of sounds. Not tones or keys or chords.
