This is what happens when you look at old war photos and have synths on hand.

This was something I actually composed as a tribute to our fallen in Vietnam. I even had a sample of real Vietnam sounds in there, for some reason I cannot hear the radio chatter I added in but it is fine nonetheless.

I hear some real potential in there... the synths set the mood pretty well and the effects are good too.

Here's a suggestion for you:

It's loooong! Nearly 8 minutes is a long time to sit and listen to music that doesn't do much changing. Either shorten it down (no more than a minute) and make it an intro to something else, or add video (or even a slideshow), thus giving the listener something to help them see the scenes you're painting with the music.

I wanted to keep the changes simple, as it's supposed to emulate a 1980's war flick soundtrack. Plus the ending is all the war sounds. The chord changes are C, F, and G. The JD-800 is such a powerful beast even samples of it still sound massive!

It is your project, but I agree with BriGuy on shortening it or changing it up a bit.

Are you thinking of putting this to pictures and uploading to YouTube?

Sync it up with a compilation of old war movie clips. Problem solved.
