Cool Great song! Love the vibe. Something a little different Good production, good playing and good vocals It really took me on a journey to somewhere far away. Thanks for sharing.
All the best.

appreciate the comments, zargg, yes, the idea was to take the listener pretty far away,
or very far within

That is the reason why I provide my listening station in most of my posts so you get the idea that the mix translates well on great to okay to bad speakers. Whether it's helpful, well I would like to think so :)

that's a good idea, biodiode,
cuz most of the time, i'm looking for translation issues.....
of course, some mix problems start out as subjective choices,
but sometimes they're just plain wrong!!
LOL
so i need all the help i can get

Of course I love the prog rock vibe here, very tastefully done.  The synth stuff just makes such a great mood to color over, and you were judicious with the guitar work instead of ruining it.  (I wish Mars Volta would have learned that lesson...)  
 
Vocal work sounded interesting too.  I'm gonna guess you won't tell a fella what you did there, huh?  At times it sounded like it was modulated or modulating a synth, then other times I wondered if my ears were just fooled and it was really just a well sung, doubled vocal track. 
 
I always like listening to your stuff.  I'm prolly gonna have to buy that CD.... Rock and prog go together like chocolate and peanut butter. 

 
PROG....
 yes, the evil 4 letter word....
 
i don't really set out to write something progressive,
and in this case, i was really just following John's lead....
but all of my stuff ends up having a prog vibe...
 
 
all i did on vox,
was just sing...
no fx, except for typical compression and either delay, reverb, or a combo of both..
 
i DID sing the leads twice, and blend them, so sometimes there is a bit of comb filtering happening naturally, 
which i just live with.
i can sing almost identical parts twice in a row, 
but i purposefully try to sing one a little different,
so the blend does NOT sound studio perfect..
i WANT the feel of a rock approach,
so it's not so dialed in.....
that'd be my punk and garage band ethos coming thru......!
LOL
 

Very cool Bats and Wookster. Those synth sweeps really are bone rattlers.
Production and playing are top notch

yes, we like the windows rattling....
keeps it real
LOL
 
thanks daryl

Wonderful stuff Bats and Wookiee.  This has a great ethereal feel too it and pulls the listener right into it.  It also has a great interplay between guitar and synths.  I really like what y'all have done with the vocals.  Excellent work!!!
