Nice instrumental tune and sounds. I would have liked to hear one part played with the clean  lead guitar sound. 


 
 
Thanks Makke. I did try a few clean guitar sounds for various parts but couldn't seem to get the right feel.

hey james!
 
i dig the vibe of the track, some cool clean and dirty guitar tones happening..
the drums could be a little more slamming.
but, that's a more subjective opinion,
and i think it works ok as an instrumental,
but i think it is begging for a vocal.
 
you could use a lot of the more melodic moments of the solo lines,
to 'suggest' the vocal melody.

I never told Jyemz but I had a germ of an idea for a vocal but then he gave me the 'final' mix quicker than I expected so I never followed up with that idea.

Thanks Rob. Simply put, I do instrumentals because I can't sing  If you feel like taking a shot at it, be my guest.

Great tune, playing and mix! Love the tremolo guitar and the overall arrangement. Man, you write, record, mix and post songs faster than I can tune a darn guitar, haha! And they always sound great, too...

Thanks very much Gary! I'm writing to write and record one tune a month this year, so far I'm on schedule...

Finally had a chance to listen to this on a good set of h-phones and can really appreciate all the details. Very well constructed tune James and the mix was just beautiful to my ears. Very nice guitar harmonies........that bazz man is a driving force in this. Well done chaps!!

Just another +1 for that tremolo guitar - loved it.
 
Great instrumental all around, it's got a cool vibe to it.  The double-time section was a nice change up and worked well to settle back for the end section.   I really liked the lead harmonies too.

Thanks Steve! I often gravitate towards that trem sound, it's the nearest I can get to a Leslie Rhodes or Wurlitzer, which I love, but can't play.
