This East meets West vibe y’all created gives such a “happy” feeling.
Janice said she gets the same vibe when she hears Jerry Garcia’s guitar playing ... and that is good!
We both love reading science fiction novels and this lyric had us thinking about some of our favs.
Cool band you’ve assembled - love the sitar.
Robert’s vocals and Scott’s guitar sound great, as does the mix.
Robert, we really like the vocal range exploration you have going here.
Far out!

Many thanks for your listens and generous comments, folks-its been awhile for me since a song took so much time to produce, and, thanks to Scott, the process was most enjoyable.

In some of the native "Eskimo" languages there is something like 39 different words for the word white. Viridian is such a beautiful color, it's a shame to just call it green. Man, I love this song and the fact that you and Robert are once again bringing up the spirit level. I dig the sitar, but, man, your guitar soars and steals the show. This song is out of this world. Robert your singing is superb. What a wonderful sound. What a good team. Thanks Marty. Really appreciate your comments and support for our music. Really glad you liked the sitar. I was first introduced to this kind of music from Mr. Harrison. It does have a special place in my heart. Really glad you liked the song. That east meets west is a great concept that you all mixed to perfection
Super guitar leads and vocals
Great use of that sitar
Excellent drums
Two thumbs up
Thanks Mario for checking out the song. Really appreciate the comments and glad you liked the song

This is more than superb. This is, dare I say it, extraordinary. Made me sit up from the first few notes. A beautiful, relevant message, too. Robert's voice is SO sensitive - one of my absolute favourite voices on here. Scott's accompaniment playing is beautiful and unobtrusive, understated, but quietly beautiful, also. The whole song is so beautifully hypnotic, atmospheric, yet direct, sensitive and also relevant, all at the same time. What an achievement.
One of the most beautiful songs to grace this site in ages - and, since the standard on here is always so blooming high, this is quite the compliment, from me. Sincerest congratulations, glad to see you both back on here and working together again. More, please. Thank you James for the comments on the song. Robert and I really appreciate the kind words. We are happy to be making music again together. Really glad you liked the song. This East meets West vibe y’all created gives such a “happy” feeling.

J&B Thanks Janice and Bud. Robert and I loved mixing up the real track instruments with the different style to come up with different songs. Really glad you liked the song.

Peter Thanks Peter for checking out the song. Robert added the sitar and setup the intro for the song. Gave the song a total different feel from the original instrumental. Glad you liked the song. Nice song, great arrageament, like his song.

Imaginative and original subject.
Lovely percussions, the drum selection is also very good. The sitar creates very cool otherworldly mood. The melody is very strong and has my favorite Celtic vibe which is supported by Scott's guitar playing at its best. Enjoyed also Robert's warm vocal and the spacious mix.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
