Greg,
Excellent! Sounds like a long lost PF song. Love the vocals and fade out at the end... Great job.

A great job on capturing the vibe. Outstanding job and super job on the vocals and effects. In my opinion, your voice is one of the best here on the forum. There is a purity there that separates you and pushes you up to the top of the pack. I always look forward to your posts.
Charlie Plus 2 here. PF was one of our rare forays away from the blues and bluegrass back in that day. It remains odd that we were attracted by them but we wanted to see what all the hoopla was about and got captured. Like Noel said the ambiance is spell binding - to the extent that we hit the play button again immediately after the fade. Absolutely stellar vocals. Most excellent! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

My older brother introduced me to Pink Floyd in my early teens, so they have a soft spot for me, and I have to say you nailed their style down to a T! Extremely well done, I am so impressed

Very clever - (made me want to solo over it) - and nicely written. Thanks for the kind words Peter. You play some great guitar! But I was shocked how Floydish the BIAB solo was. And the drums I thought fit their style as well. Loved you last post-sweet playin'! Take care. Greg

Greg, PeterF wrote Very clever - (made me want to solo over it) - and nicely written. Yes that certainly needs a real guitar player exploring our emotions. It's all BIAB except the arpeggio (I guess that would be the description) synth chords which were done with a plugin (spacing on the name) A cryptic sentence, what did you use?? Marvellous vocals as usual from you. enjoyed, Alyn Thanks Alyn. I thought you were probably a Floyd fan. I wasn't trying to be cryptic. Just late at night after a long day and a few beers. The plugin was digital synsations from UVI. They gave it free as a teaser to people who buy on audiodeluxe.com, which for plugins is a great website. Thanks for you kind comments. Dig your latest post! Take care. Greg

All the best, Noel Love the over use of the echo on the vocals. Mood plus more mood. This is excellent. This reminds me of Super Tramp. Well done. Rob. Thanks so much for the nice comments Rob! BIAB was much more responsible for the power of this one that I was. Got a kick out of your latest! Take care. Greg

Charlie Very kind words Charlie! I've never thought of myself as a singer but I do love to sing. The folks on the forum have been very generous in their comments on my vocal abilities and it is much appreciated! Always enjoy your songs! Take care. Greg

Ok, man a guitarist only wants two know one thing: what effects were you using on the guitar dude? That was so David Gilmour it was crazy. So what pedals were you stomping on there bro. Come on--share the magic.  If you don't I will forever be comfortably numb. And my hands will feel just like two balloons. I know you know what I'm talking about.

Charlie +1, I have always thought that same thing regarding your vocals. Guitar and sax work very well. Nicely arranged and produced. I do not have much experience listening to Pink Floyd but if they sound anything remotely like this I missed the boat. Another superior sounding post! Tom Thanks Tom! You really should put on the cans, have a beer or take a hit, and check out Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety. One of the best rock albums ever! You are killing it lately!!! (not that you weren't great before). Your support is much appreciated. Take care. Greg

Hi Greg,
you better call it a tribute than a parody. It's a fantastic song and you really caught the vibe. Great vocals and a good choice of RTs. I really enjoyed listening.
Guenter Thanks Guenter! I'm a huge Floyd fan (Pink and Jane) and I was impressed how the RTs melted into that groove. WHat a program! Thanks for listening and commenting. Take care. Greg

Greg, This is a song about astral projection, right  You're raising that bar into the atmosphere! Excellent everything. Vocal, arrangement, production, mix - all stellar. A cool write. Wonderful melody. The sax sounds great. And no butt about it, the guitar is tasty... Stunning. floyd Thanks so much Floyd, for your comments and support in general! I was impressed at how much the RTs worked. I heard a lot of Gilmour in that guitar, particularly the way it came in. The boys were having so much fun jamming, I just let 'em go. Thanks for the kind review! Take care. Greg

Greg, you've done a wonderful job writing this tribute and putting it together. Loved the RT's you used and you sound great doing it. (I'm assuming no period Hookah was involved except of course for medicinal purposes...just kidding. LOL!) No Hookah!! Those days are gone. Just get high on the music these days (and beer!). Always love hearing from you Josie, and you should think about another Bacharach cover. That rocked!! (Dean is an amazing arranger, and your vocal was sweet!) Take care. Greg
