    Christian and Homay, you've done your usual bang-up job of convincing me that I have no choice but to buy yet another Spitfire library. And that Spotify playlist - wow! So much music I already love and some absolute gems I've slept on. I haven't listened to Lau for a while and I'm now wondering why on earth not - such a talented trio. I love this idea of sharing playlists of inspiration - more please!

    I don’t think I need to say well done my friends! I can’t tell you how I’ve been longing for a library like this. I love being truly authentic, sensitive and true to human emotion. It’s why I love horror, avente-garde and folk like music in my music. I love the orchestral sound of John Williams and James Horner dearly and I will continue to write with an orchestra but the beating heart of my composer voice is the imperfect, emotional voice of people. I cannot wait to get my hands on this library and heavily put it in my template!! Thank you Spitfire!! Well done.

The few sounds I heard so far sounded amazing, and the demo tracks on the product page are awesome as always. Some of those sounds would have been useful on the last project I did.
