Folks have mentioned experimental. And we've been reading y'all's responses to other posts where you mention the thought process that went into putting this together...so we would call it a "thoughtful experiment" and one that worked extremely well. As David alluded to this would be good tune for sync licensing and it would fit several of the requests for music that I've seen on Sontradr.
The vocals and guitar are simply outstanding.
Previous posts have hit all the highlights already so we'll just say that you and scott jumped off a cliff and landed in a good place!
J&B
J&B, I`m glad you enjoyed our cliff jumping! As said, I`ve signed up on songtradr and as long as the hoops you have to jump through there don`t lessen music making fun, who knows? Robert

Wow guys,
Let me sum it up:
1. This is so original and creative!
2. Does not sound like band in a box at all
3. Such an atmosphere created here
4. Beautiful and very functional guitar work from Scott
5. And then there's that gloomy voice ;-) perfect for this song.
6. I detect several influences here: Fleetwood Mac, REM, Tom Petty, all favorites of mine!
This is just super!
Rob I agree completely and I couldn't have said it any better. This is just an outstanding collaboration. This is a keeper for sure.
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Great sounds!
Great song!
awesome guitar Scott
experimental to me usually means not very catchy or entertaining
but this is both
interesting lyrics and melody
enjoyed the heck out of it guys, so original
Kenny Kenny, That`s appreciated - glad you found our efforts entertaining. Robert Robert,
You've outdone yourself with this! As I listened, I kept on thinking "This is a cinematic experience!" You've really pulled out all stops here.
Scott, your guitar work shines brilliantly! It's a perfect fit with Robert's musical extravaganza.
I cannot imagine how much effort has gone into getting this production together! It's incredible.
All the best,
Noel Noel, Yes, lots of work putting this together- thank you for your appreciation. You mentioned "cinematic" ; my writing does seem to work that way...images I try to put into words. btw, Scott`s guitar on the repeated theme is double tracked, with the wah playing under the non-wah recording. Robert

I had no plans to start revisiting the psychedelic era when BiaB reinvigorated music making for me... so credit to the program for giving ideas a way out of my head and especially to Scott for giving them wings.

Wow, great work on this! I liked the operatic sort of vocals throughout the tune. The arrangement is on point, and in general this is just a strong piece of songwriting. Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Hello, Robert
Amazing production!
Very unique chord progression and melody!
Scott's guitar tone is also very unique.
The frightening atmosphere is well expressed.
You have a special ability to make music of your own.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi Shigeki, Thank you, that`s very kind. I guess it was intended to convey impending doom, so I`m glad you liked the atmosphere! Robert
