First off, I am incredibly jealous that you have access to all these great instruments and musicians. Second, you achieve a very rich texture in your live performance, with many layers from what seems like too few hands to produce. Very well done!
The oud is terrific and I was a bit dismayed when the filter was applied to it. Its a classic and beautiful solo and while the filter instantly evokes Jimmy Hendrix, and foreshadows the distortion to come, it might be more subtle.
Very nice when the percussion first appears and again when the snare begins its cadence. The percussion has a wonderful blend of eastern, rock, and electronica. The kit and the doumbek merge seemlessly to create a cracking, undulating tempo. You remind me of Niyaz, but with a harder electronic edge.
The fretless has some very stylish phrases that create a woozy, trance-like pulse. The ambient textures are excellent. The pacing is spot on - you led me right through with relentless intent. When the song hits full stride all the cylinders fire at once in a terrific crescendo.
This is a great song and I'd really like to hear the studio version!
