Cool song - though it seems the intro goes for a fair while before the interesting stuff happens.
The harmonica seems to have little in the way of consistent melody to hang onto though.
Good, good mix.
I found the video very distracting.

Thanks for the comment, Ray C. As I responded to Deej's comment re the intro:

Re the intro length, which a couple of others have mentioned, for me it lasts as long as it should based on the chord sequences. 2 things have to be considered, the 1st being the sequence - the 1st 8 bars have one chord structure, the 2nd 8 a different one, but it's on the 3rd different set that things build up, thus if I'd begun the guitar solo 4 bars earlier it wouldn't have had the same dynamic. The 2nd consideration is that when working with samples one can't instruct the musician to begin in any specific way, and re this Jovian Divine sample - which I edited from 2 samples anyway - what the guitarist plays from Bar 9-16 doesn't suit a solo start up. Had I regenerated more samples so I could cut the best start off and paste it 8 bars earlier it may have worked, but I'm satisfied with it as it is.
