@Sebastian, @Martin: actually non-positive feedback is A LOT better than no
feedback at all; gives me hints about what to do and what is wanted by the
community. So, length is good, but the sound needs to be smoothed. A lot.
I'll work in another draft. We have a bit more than three weeks until the
artwork freeze, so, please, negative or positive, try to comment here soon
so I can hear you before the deadline :)

</div></div>I think it is still way too "in your face". Something really subtle, almost<br>
unnoticeable would be better. I actually quite liked the idea of a wave<br>
arriving on the beach. Have you tried that?<br>
<br>
Thanks for working on this, even if my feedback for this first draft is not<br>
really positive.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
