Starts out very melodic - great phrasing - and then gets a bit harder edge toward the end. Interesting throughout.

I always enjoy hearing you play! laugh

Eric,

I really like the new direction you seem to be taking. The use of synths and percussion loops give a more modern sound and it seems more "eric original" when your guitar is added. And your guitar really fits in to this well.

Some of my favorite melodic phrasing from you in this. MAN! your guitar sounds great!!

And a very good mix.

My new favorite from you! Keep it up!!

Very nice, Eric!

I agree with everything Floyd said. Like the use synths and loops.

And your guitar sounds amazing, as always!

Very creative! The synth disco band and the guitar really blend nicely together, interesting chording and virtuoso guitar playing, Jarre meets Jason Becker, enjoyed the new approach.

More modern in sound but there is no doubt who's playing guitar!

The mix is excellent -- everything fits right in.

Nice!

Really like this one, Eric. Fine guitar playing is perfectly balanced with the excellent synths. The opening was a bit sudden but effective and the end was a complete surprise. Well done.

As usual fantastic guitar chops and tone but this time with a different backing track. This is an outstanding song.

IMHO this is your best to date.

Hi F.M.N.

Beautiful instrumental composition that you offer us. It is very pleasant to listen to and it is well done. A small remark the intro is too abrupt and could be more progressive. But that's a detail.

Kindly regard

Hi Eric.

This is really cool. I love the way that you've used a harmonic ostinato for nearly all of the song. (It might actually be for the entire song but there were a couple of places where it sounded like you interrupted chord cycle.) This ostinato-approach to writing is similar to how Pachabel's famous Canon was written.

It's two thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel
