This is what collabs are all about. One is never sure about the outcome until the process is completed and, for this song, wow!! It takes me (Janice is too young ) back to the best of psychedelia. To the songs that weren't overwrought or caricatures of the times. To the ones that were well written and performed, like this one, and painted remarkable tapestries. Bring on the light show! Most excellent guys is all aspects - performances, arrangement, write and mix. A cool addition to our playlist. J&B J&B, Thank you, that`s very kind. You are so right about the "unknowns" in collaboration- the beauty of this one is that I`d wouldn`t have recorded the song without a comrade who lived that time or at least soaked it up.Kind of like meeting up with your buds from those smoke filled rooms again! Robert Robert/Scott, great collaboration! You have created a very unique sound with this one that is very intriguing! Great work by both of you. Thanks, Torrey. Torrey, I appreciate your listen and positive comments. Robert

Two strong talents at work here
makes for an interesting and engaging song
I like the rhythm and the guitars are very cool
plus levels of imagery in the lyrics
Kenny Exactly! Makes me want to hang up some black light posters, burn some incense, and ingest some illicit substances. Guitar part is perfect. This is an absolutely awesome collab. Great stuff guys!!! Take care. Greg

Sounds like a plan,Greg... but count me out on the substances - they nearly put me over the edge in 1969 so lord knows what would happen now! Robert Beautiful eastern atmosphere, like mirages of a dancing beauty in a desert. Nice blues guitar at the end. Very original, good work Janne Janne, I`m thrilled you got the picture - and enjoyed Scott`s guitar. Thanks for commenting. Robert

If I shut my eyes, I feel that I am back in the 1960's listening to music in my dorm room. Very well done and I LOVE the guitar work. Nice overall mix and just excellent balance between vocals and guitar!

Robert and Scott,
You've both done an outstanding job here. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey that you both took me. This was a very strong collaborative effort indeed. "Excellence" is a word that sprang to mind early in my listen. As I said on Soundcloud, this is such a great production.
All the best to you both,
Noel

Hello, Robert and Scott
This tune is amazing and full of originality.
Very unique chord progression.
Scott's wah wah guitar is very cool.
It seems like I got lost in a mysterious world.
Very enjoyable listen.
Best regards.

One person said "mesmerizing" on soundcloud.
I would agree and add "hypnotic."
Great job guys. Loved.
