Very invigorating Steve! Excellent writing, playing, and production. I would not have the patience to undertake this project but you did and it sounds great.

Thanks, Jimmy!     Invigorating I like - it wasn't necessarily meant to be relaxing.      
 
I did have had my share of little frustrations along the way with some of the parts and the mix, but I was intent on finishing it one way or the other.   So what I couldn't do using finesse I did using brute force.  
 

I haven't heard anything like this in a long time.  The texture of the main synth is very retro and welcome.  Very nice, Steve!

Reminds me of TSO.  That's good.  Well done, Steve.  Some interesting thingys in this one.  If memory serves me, this is my fav from you.

wow.....what a tune....ELPish big time!the arrangement and playing are top notch! whew...takes your breath away just listening! ok now with the production hat on....I think the mix overall had a very '70's feel (which makes is sound great and fitting) but it lacks today's production bottom end there are a couple synth growls that suffer and the kit could use some weight.
 
I say this all on bended knee as this sounds as good as most of my ELP CD's mix wise (not as good as my vinyl ;)  and its an unbelievability good song...I just would work on the bottom end of the mix.
 
A++

Sounds great! I like the song , too.

I have to agree with everyone, excellent work!
 
ELP meets Yes. Very cool!

Lynn - thanks!  I haven't done a featured synth tune in a long time myself, but yeah, that lead tone really drove the whole thing.  I likes me some Reaktor. 
 
Warren - TSO I had not thought of, but I will certainly take it as a compliment!  They have such a great combination of retro and modern, and they can all play.  Good stuff.
 
Tom - I still have ELP's 1st up thru Works 1 on vinyl.       They weren't necessarily what I had mind when mixing, but I guess it's impossible to remove the influence.  So I do agree that it lacks that modern bottom end weight, something I may go back and look at.   Anyhow... thank you for the grade and for the lack of breath, very much appreciated! 
 
Monty - thanks!   I am glad you enjoyed the tune and the mix.
 
Robert - thanks!!   ELP meets Yes?   Yeah, in my dreams...  but you better believe it's a nice dream. 
 

Oh yeah, liking this very much Steve! Loads of fun, great uplifting prog tune which has an almost TV theme feel to it in the more straightforward sections.

We are who we are and no more than another. I like it!
