Really cool sounding track. Everything sounds good.
I don't like the guitars hard panned left or right though. The vocals are hard to understand.
Other than that, Very well done!

Hi Tony, nice one, quite a surprise to hear that harmonica come in, nice . Listening to this on headphones I find those hard panned guitars a bit distracting, playing is very nice though ! Kudos to all involved, good job.

I like those panned guitars..  Fantastic track guys, it just jumped into my top 3 DT tunes. Wonderful stuff, great riffs, solo's, vocals, mix; harmonica and strings are a treat, and that Yes-ish outro is sublime.

GREAT sounding guitars! awesome drumming as is the norm now with DT, though the kick is a little too modern sounding for this genre. the vocals are a little indistinct, but then the 'tude makes up for it. beautiful harmonica solo. another winner, my friends!

Hey, Tony and Tom,
Oh, yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! Finally getting my my Distant Towers groove back on with this cool kicker.
I knew I was gonna love this one right from the start with the meaty, thick guitar and synth intro. The guitar vibe during the verses is smooth and classy, the drums sound phenomenal, the bass and vox are perfect, and I absolutely love the soaring guitar solo. And, put me down along with my buddy, James, as a fan of the hard panned guitars.
Paulo's orchestration, the clean changeup around 4:00, and the killer harmonica solo and fills really put the icing on this tasty cake! 
Dynamite job, boys, this is spectacular! Have a good one, guys! Bob

Boffo. Very catchy and well mixed. I thought the lead guitar break had a tad to much verb which pushed it back in the mix, but that's my only observation. Same for the harmonica solo.
But other than that small crit, this is pretty good stuff.
