Sorry James, I meant to listen and comment earlier. I like it, "as usual." Something a miss with the bass though? Did you know I'm a bass player? And? I have an Alembic? (Not many bass players can say that :-)
This actually kind of a Steve Vai vibe to me? It's the guitar melody and in some respect the tones. It's over now, in retrospect, it feels almost like part of a rock opera? Like "a scene?" As it it was something else, then this happened, and it's about to transition to the next scene?
(I'm sorry for that Ed, I didn't bust um too hard? Just a tap really? Like a fist bump?)
Actually it sounds pretty nice all the way around? I did particularly enjoy the guitars. Good job.
