Thanks so much for sharing!


Thank you,Deryk.
I guess I`ll have to listen to that band more to get the connection.
I`m happy you liked this!

The chopping cello is a little unusual on a rock tune-I liked the way it went with Americana drums.
Thanks for your positive comments.

Ed,
Our musical sandboxes are very different- we just fling ideas at each other and take a picture of the result!

Not usually my kind of music, prima faciae at least, this ... but THIS really, really does work! I was glued to it from beginning to end ... loved it! I want to hear it yet again :-) Love how it just disappears into the ether at the end ... superb job.

Enjoyed the lyrics and the vocals, especially the contrast in the high parts to the lows.

Very well done.

Thanks, Peter - I really like Scott`s guitar parts as well!

Musically, it is pure fun. Experimental, but not abusive to ears. Listens extremely well, even with the "feel" morphing throughout the tune. Loved how Scott's guitars shaped this. Lyrics are very futuristic. More please! Thank you for sharing.

I`m glad we surprised you with that opening,Misha!
Thanks for those very positive comments.

Scott's guitar work fits perfectly and adds another signature.

Excellent mix. Excellent music. Cool, cool song!!

That`s very kind, Floyd- Thank you!

Hi Robert and Scott,

You made a really cool song! At the start I thought “where is this lead me too”?, with the Americana drums. I expected a didgeridoo to come in (would have liked that as well). I don’t know why I had to think about that instrument, it was just there in my head. But the song developped in such a nice way, reminding me in some way to the kind of (protest)songs made during the Vietnamwar. Everything in your song fits very well and the vocals were impressing.

Well that certainly sets the stage!

Man, that first verse grabs you from the get go and you
are along for the journey.

Dunno know what to call this...not that it matters!
Maybe very intelligent and musical folk psychedelia would
suffice smile

Wonderful melding of the vocal and guitar performances
with the lyric.

Different, well done in all aspects and a most
enjoyable listen.

Carry on you two!!!

J&B



Thank you, J&B- we plan to do just that; more twisted electro-mantras to come, no doubt!

Greg,
No psycho tropics of any kind were used in this production... the damage was done and quarantined in my songwriting room long ago.
Glad you like this.

That`s very kind, Ed- we will try to oblige.

Hypnotizing song, has sort of a native American mood. Psychedelic arrangement, Scott's playing is very strong and enjoyable, reminds me of the instrumental rock of the sixties. Effects on the vocal and Scott's guitar work really well.
As a technically oriented person, I like the lyrics very much... very interesting and different... ancient spirit combined with 3D heart and robosapien (I remember buying one for my nephew), makes me think that one day human could be a pure human-made machine, it is right then to ask "am I god or devil". Nice to hear something unique like this, your collaboration shows amazing creativity.

Thank you!

Hans,
Funnily enough we have used a didgeridoo on a past song No White Flag( really hard to find a good recording to loop).
Thanks for your kind comments.

I agree Scott plays some tasty lines here!
The robo voice effects were fun and hard to balance in the mix.
I appreciate your attention to the lyrics and the AI dilema.
Thanks for such a thoughtful review.

Robert

Liked the urgency in your voice which we don't often get to hear. Had a Haight-Ashbury feel to it that I liked a lot (Jefferson Airplane) Nice work.
