Wow, I love the beginning on this --- that "busy" guitar riff very nicely complemented with the easy sounding keyboard. Nice!!!!! The whole song is just brilliant.

Thank you kindly Freddy! I like playing double time with a delay against a slower beat.

I love the way the synth comes in at the begining, a very nice patch too it almost sounds like a vocal in places.
I like the way the guitars build to a sort of resolution at 5 minuits.

Very nice mate. Lots of ear candy.
Nice bass by Mr K
Thanks Daryl. Candy in the ears is good. Isn't it? 
Depends, a Snickers may get messy but I'm told that a Twizzler is very pleasant.

Thanks Glyn! That's one of my favourite (over-used..) patches, 'moog pedal lead' from Dim Pro. It's nicely expressive using the joystick on my ancient Roland D-20.

James, this is great! I really like the chorus (or whatever you're calling it) that comes in at 1:10 & 2:10 and the overall sort of organic interplay between the various guitar parts (all of which are awesome!).
Ed's playing and tone are, of course, also outstanding...

Thanks Gary! I usually end up with a 'chorus' in these instrumentals, I'm just a frustrated songwriter really Appreciate the 'organic' comment (Dan said that too), I thought about the end 'choruses' a lot and tried to make them evolve from the previous two.

That is some good stuff, James. Really enjoyed it. Nice melodic leads (great phrasing) playing over a simple but solid rhythm section. Oh... and loved the ending.

Terrific tune, fellas. James, this seems a little different from what I'm accustomed to from you, but that's what makes it great. I like the opening guitar figure, reminds me a little of Townshend's Eminence Front, but goes in a different direction. Nice change just before 3:00. The usual superlative job from Ed. Very enjoyable

What a wonderful melodic feast you have served up. It sounds like it could fit into the Camel album The Snow Goose ...and that's praise indeed I can assure you! This sort of thing is right up my progressive street! I loved it, and it improves with successive listens. A grower.

Lovely James. Perfect example of how to use a delay. I like the blend of the guitar/bass sound, great plectrum work both of you.
