Cool tune! I liked it a lot. Good performances all around as usual. My only complaint was that I couldn't make out many of the words.

Thanks Bill! The vocals are there as another instrumental really, just to add interest.

Everybody knows what they are doing. A pleasure to go along on the journey.
 
Kick on the kick drum, to my ears in the headphones, is almost too punchy - you might remove some high mids from the kick? It could totally be a genre thing, where you want the beater that in-your-face, so what do I know. But the kick beater is distracting my enjoyment of the guitars a little.
 
The snare on the other hand is top shelf.
 
Lovely, not often heard amalgam of spacey effects, keyboards, and really great guitar tones, all presented in an arrangement that holds interest.
 
well done y'all!

Thanks very much  Tom! I'll revisit the kick later on.

Cool guitar playing,
 
great mix - spacey floatey feel to me in the slower parts
 
reminds me a bit of the french duo 'Air' but with a bit more edge
 
intrigued to hear what the words you're singing are as well.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
Good Job!

Hey, James,
 
This is absolutely killer!  I knew I was going to like this as soon as the opening guitar riff kicked in!
 
This one is an emotional roller coaster with lots of great textures and elements woven throughout, along with some really cool tempo changes in exactly the right spots.
 
The keyboards are a great background, your guitar tone selection and playing really shines on this, full of tasty licks, and Preston's drums are excellent.  The SI bass sounds very convincing and sits perfectly in the well textured mix, and the Vocoder stuff was a really nice touch as an extra instrument.
 
Fantastic work, James, well done, this is a real gem, my friend!
 
Have a great weekend!
Bob

A neat piece to listen to with a good pair of headphones on, with eyes closed an just let your mind fill in the imagery.
Nice production.

this is great stuff Jaymz!  love the guitars, the bass, the drums are excellent!
 
I'm not fond of the vocoder myself, I think it might be good if it weren't as heavy, but that's just my personal opine.
 
excellent performances all around!
