Description

Collabing with Steve has been a real treat for me. I grew up in awe of Gilmore, Beck, & Belew. Not just the great guitar work but their skill putting it together in the mix. I think my friend Tokai has done just that with this track. I think we started going for an "Animals/Floyd" type thing, but it generously morphed into something a little different. Many thanks to Steve for producing/writing/performing this tune. He makes it sing

	You guys ... need to make this m u c h l o n g e r. You've got the beginning of an epic here. The punch up at 2:48 sounds like a starting point for blasting off, after a very "into the night" build. Anyway, everything sounds terrific. Dramatic. Excellent collab.

	atmospherics that'd be Steve-0 . I did one low synth pad, but all the effects, and additional synth goodies are Tokai's doing. Feter appreciate the kind words Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

	Thank you my friend for passing another one of your fine tunes my way, we should have made it longer to incorporate the intro and the mess i got into trying to make it fit. The piano and keys you play are truly brilliant and beautiful. Cheers m8. Looking forward to the next one. Check out my latest song called maizuru/Bud/Char

groovy
Must have been cool to jam along to this one.

The mood from chords/melody-lines gives a feeling of something serious going on, like a war... the marching snare drum around 02:00 adds to that feeling. If you are to make a longer version, maybe an added bridge with some lighter flavors could balance this feeling some...

You two show great musician skills and it's a thrill listening to you play:)

Bravo!

	a break Thor, spot on you are. I totally envision the "darker" visuals. Maybe it'd be a good soundtrack for a battle sequence. Definitely if we were to tinker I agree a break of some sort. Right around the 3:30 mark to segue-way into something altogether different. Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

	Reminds ME... ...of bits of Robert Fripp, somehow playing over Rick Wright and Steve Winwood... Very Frippish tone and phrasing in spots, and much enjoyed... Added with gratitude to iTunes for further enjoyment... Ed Check out my latest song called Next Time Around (w/jiguma)

	ipod Ed, I'm glad you like it. Steve's (Tokai) playing combines the best elements of rock, progressive and art and still comes out wholly unique when he's done. Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

intrigue
what a terrific pairing here, both in talent and music. Guitar work and piano work are superb for this... writing is quite dramatic... although I agree that since it is a short single themed piece, it feels like the intro to something else about to be unleashed right after this. Great builds, and the jazzy piano part actually does complement the giant Floydian guitar growling rather well (I almost typed "Wall".) It sort of gave me visions of a Jekyll & Hyde type thing, where somebody is fighting this unstoppable terrifying power that is sweeping over him. Maybe this can be the intro to "the real song" which you will work together on now? (smirk) Definitely had me listening intently all the way through.
ttfn,
Drakonis

	wall Drak, I'm pleased to hear you didn't think the piano was out of place. I had some second thoughts on that part. I couldn't agree more that this would make a great prelude for something. I hope I can do some more like this. I think we play well together. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. Its very much appreciated. Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

	keys shine The keys that start around 1:28 are just, well, pretty. Love the way that they float over the heavier stuff. Bass programming is standout as well - terrific little stutter steps here and there. Lots of ear candy for the headphone inclined. Check out my latest song called Get Away with Murder Eyes (5XArms Cover)

I'm floored
This is stunning. As a huge Floyd fan, I think this has the spirit! Wonderful sound, and a great mix, with lovely playing throughout. The guitar just soars and dips, and fills the phones, and the piano adds an unexpected, wonderfully melodic angle. Amazing stuff. The drums and bass work perfectly, too. A great collab. Kudos to you both. Peace.

	So many great collabs out there I just came over from Craft/Sorenson/Racerat and now this. I was hooked on first reading with the Animals/Floyd referrence - but this has definitely gone even further into a different realm. Really well done - great guitars, keys, drums, production. Cool.

	Nailed it "generously morphed" is a cool term, and fits to a tee. You got the Floyd elements there but so much more as well. There are some really great guitar moments here and some serious atmosphere. Check out my latest song called First of Fall - Slide
