	Hello Cilikis. Was giving your EP a listen tonight. Very nice, professional instrumentation and sound quality for sure. I usually enjoy instrumental music (and long instrumental interludes) with no problem, but for some reason while listening to yours I was mentally slathering for a melody line! I really do not know why. This may be why I enjoyed the sections with the softer, more melodic guitar the most. The song structure is interesting with some satisfying transitions. You mentioned adding a sax, does that show up here? I completely missed its presence somehow if so. I find the last 1.5 minutes or so of "Wavelength" to be my favorite part. You have a lot of other material to get through as well. I'm surprised no one else has responded to this yet.
