In keeping with my desire to do something a little different each time around, I'm offering up a light Prog-Rock instrumental number primarily based on 9/8, but with a few other meter changes sprinkled throughout for good measure.
 
This one is a little more adventurous and perhaps "dense" than my last two tunes, so comments, suggestions, etc., are welcome!

Nice playing and arrangement Steve.  I think my blood pressure went up a touch trying to follow the meter! LOL. 
You are very talented.  This song would not be easy to play but would be awesome to watch live.

Thanks, Jimmy!    Much appreciated.
 
Although not intentional, I'll take the meter effect as a compliment.

I just think of it as 1/4 and it all works out ;-D

I agree with Rimshot. You are indeed talented and I would pull out the rest of my hair trying to follow that meter. The song sounds great !

@ Monty - thanks!   It took some work to get everything "feeling" right, or at least close enough, but it was still fun to do.  I'm glad the mix sounded OK.
 
@ Jonas - funny how that usually works out, huh.

Steve, this is very good. This is definitely not something you hear every day. Very well done!

Thanks, Bob!   
 
70's prog rock was a big part of the music I grew up on, so it's never that far below the surface... though I haven't done anything similar in a long time.  Funny what a new version of SONAR followed by a few new plugins can do.

WOW Steve , 
very impressive song you did there  I enjoyed it very much ...
I grew up playing 70's prog rock w original bands back then and I loved playing that type of music ..
I wound up eventually switching over to Jazz only because that musical door opened up for me back then...
Yeah man , whew… only a couple of loose phrases …but WOW excellent effort

That's pretty good, it gave me a strong ELP vibe.
