New instrumental rock tune - Silver Paste

Hi All,
 
I've just finished up a new fairly straight-ahead guitar based rock tune, with only a few time signature changes.   There was a bit of a Dregs influence in the main riffs, though a little influence is about as far as I can go with it.

I also gave the new MJUC compressor from Klanghelm a go around on this one, using mode II on the guitar bus, and mode III on the drums and master bus (prior to Ozone).  I really like it.   All of the other usual suspects apply: Craig's amp sims for all the guitars and bass, AD2 for drums, a bit of Vintage Organs, and PC plugins throughout (Tape Sim is great on Vintage Organs).  I also included a little live percussion in the form of Moroccan drums (similar to bongos) that I picked up in, of all places, Disney World about 10 years ago.   
 

Hiya Steve,
 
A top tune this mate... I loved every second of it. I normally type something while I am listening, but this held my full attention all the way through!
 
Excellent stuff
 
 
cheers

Mix works well here, sounded nice and balanced, thanks for sharing

Kenny - thanks, just trying to keep it interesting.    That second section was an attempt at theme variation so I'm glad that worked out.
 
Andy - thanks!  Appreciate it. If I can hold someone's attention then I guess it's on the right track. 
 
Tom - I didn't originally tend it to be prog-ish, but sometimes it's hard for me to avoid that direction!  And yes, it's just me going layer by layer.  Fortunately I developed the memory aspect when I was much younger 'cause that wouldn't happen today.
 
Wookie - thanks, glad the mix is working... it took some repeated balancing to get there.
 
Grant - thanks, I appreciate the comments.   Cool and interesting works for me!
 

Thanks, Tim!   Appreciate the comments. 

Great bass and drums.
 
Guitar ain't no slouch either.

Excellent stuff! Nice chops for sure and a very good sounding mix here!

Hey, Steve,
 
Very cool progressive rocker with great playing, lots of fun soloing and really unique elements, wild twists and turns, and a nice punchy mix!
 
Excellent work, and it sure sounds like you had a lot of fun putting this one together!
 
Really good stuff, Steve, have a good one, buddy!
Bob

SteveC,
 
Very fun ride.  Mix is really good too.
 
 
Regards

OK Steve, now you're just showing off. lol  I've been a fan of yours since day one, and I don't see any signs of that ending.

Nice tune Steve, I felt edgy all the way through and wanted to punch the air and yell YEAH! at the end.
Obviously a lot of work in there, both in the playing and the production. Would love to hear it live, but I appreciate that you would need at least 10 arms and multiple feet.

Thanks, Wayne.  That's not necessarily a reaction I'd expect, but oh yeah, I like it!!   Live would be very cool, but something tells minimal limb based DAW-land is destined to be as live as it gets.   
 
Thanks, Daryl!  Prog rock is embedded in my sub-conscious so sometimes I have no choice but to go all split-personality, part by part.  For the organ, it took me a while to get a tone I actually liked, but in the end I think it's the "right" one to poke through in a sea of otherwise guitaristic riffing.   
 

Thanks, Jimmy!   I appreciate it.  
 
The organ had a lot to compete with but I think it was up to the task.   Wait, that didn't come out right...   
 

Thanks, Phil.  It was certainly a fun ride making it!  
 
I do have a paid membership with Soundcloud so technically I could change the title...  

Thanks, Dan!  I loves me some dual guitar lines.       And glad the mix is translating too!
