I didn't know Chris, but i'm sure he will be proud of this stunning production. I'm a Nu-Jazz / Chill out fan and this track really sets the bar to a high level.
Tremendously well done Michael.

This is a wonderful homage to Mellosonic
and creates a vivid soundscape to sit back
and soak it all in. It bounces along with a variety
of upbeat tones and positive vibes and makes
me feel as though he's hearing it now and smiling
with us. Brilliant piece of music!

Many of us are still feeling Mello's loss, but I know he would be very proud of this track, and thrilled that it is dedicated to him. This track truly captures that distinctive Mello styling, smooth blend of sounds and wonderful production - it has a positive, sunny vibe and an indefinable enthusiasm...and that sums up our dear Mello perfectly. Terrific job.
Often think of Mello (Chris), he was always able to challenge me in the nicest possible way & made a lot of sense when my confidence dipped.
