Hey Ilan!
Scott Walldren here from www.mp3-reviews.com . I just want to say how much I enjoyed listening to "Is It Too Late?". A really mellow moving piece combining great blues with ambient. I've never heard anything quite so well done. I'd like to review it for our next edition. You're a brilliant composer/musician, and I just wanted to say that.
Regards,
Scott Walldren

The King of calm...
With finals coming up and the semester
winding down and little pause for thought,I downloaded Ilan Virtzberg's
"Is It Too Late?" from mp3.com. All I can say is Wow. I have not heard
such creativity in mellow music since Enigma's first album. With this song,
Ilan Virtzberg surpasses it.
The guitar playing is beautiful,
mild like Carlos Santana at his best. The whole song just flows, like warm
blood through a living being. Like a movie ('cinematic' listed among his
styles), this song tells a story and depicts an array of emotions. This
song is a grand journey through a state of mind that I have rarely visited
lately: calm.
"Is It Too Late?" combines the
best of blues, ambient, and new age to create an ethereal texture of sound
and emotion. Download it immediately, and take the journey. Without a doubt,
Ilan Virtzberg is one of the finest electronic musicians I have ever heard.
Recommendation: Download immediately.

Your music rocks! I downloaded one of your
mp3s from mp3.com and your music
shook me! Truly groundbreaking stuff!
You might be interested in
attending, and possibly performing the Layer
III Conference. It's a
conference and concert, being held in August
of this year, in Jacksonville,
Florida to celebrate mp3s, online music and technology.
Check it out on the
web: http://www.mp3con.com. I think
you would be a wonderful addition to
the music line.

May the Love of God be with you and may you touch the hearts
of people with your music...
I don't know whether you'll get this or not, but I just had a few questions.
I think your music is awesome. I've always loved ambient music,
but you've
added a flavor to it that is spectacular. My favorite song is
Dance for the
Ancient Days. So you play all the instruments?! Wow.
Have you ever done a
live show? How did you manage to get all the sound in?
I know a new york
artist who works with loops and guitar. He does his loops live.
It's
pretty cool. His music is a little similar to yours. Anyhow,
I hope you
are happy with where you are. You're a great musician.
Keep it up.
Best wishes and Happy New Year,
Steve Hewitt
