    From one KC resident to another, this piece of music is very unique and creative.  I liked the unusual guitar tone which reminded me of Adrien Belew.  The percussion was nice, too.  Overall, the mix was balanced, and everything was in its place.  My only crit is that it went on a bit long without any major changes.  This could easily be a three minute song without losing much.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Hey Joe
    Love the percussion work. +1 on the bit long with no major changes. My only nit are the lead guitar was thin sounding and kinda buried in the mix. I'm DIGGIN the tone but it needs to be thick and a smidge forward. GREAT JOB.

    Love the sound but it sounds looped!  Would be nice to have a melody line on top of it.
