 The message is a good one,don't be greedy,right? My mother always reminded me that this is why I should not waste food. Since then I have learned that the ruling parties in some the most effected countries are to blame also. Instead of persuing the interests of all of their citizens,they often fall for a sales pitch from one of our corporate financial hit men. I hope you don't mind my including this enlightening video link.

A very strong but fine piece of music over a very hard theme...
Guitorbs comment is not to surpass...
5*

Strong theme for your track...

This piece of music is very expressive and brings exactly that about that, what the text describes in addition to this.

The bass with easy slapkik is well recorded. The wood flute is brilliantly authentically played.

Very good quality. A quality which I understand to estimate.
5*

Furthermore good success for you

The other day I heard a sentence on the BBC that goes as follows:
"Africa is not poor it is poorly managed".
I know your piece is not restricted to Africa but the sentence discribes one of the deeper lying problems of what you are touching with your music. And yes I think a regular mirror/reminder of how poorly the world can be run is good.

P.S. I thank Guitorb for his link (see below) to a most interesting YouTube video.
If it is true what the man (John Perkins) is saying in that film things are even worse than I already suspected. I hope with Obama in power things will improve.

It's very sad to see how we treat our envirenment. We pray for a better world.

I like the flute. It seems very sad but also very good. Is it an arabic flute? Did you play it? You made a good track. Well done, Rana!

5*!

Im becoming a Rana fan....
Everything I hear from you is both very interesting and extremely professional...
I like the slight "out of tune" flutes in some areas, and the cool intro of electronic sounds at about 1:59 captured the attention..
Cheers,
