Lovely guitar work and bass! The synth voices give a nice retro sound but still very modern. Have you ever seen the Barberella movie? Love the poem with it too. You can still hear your blues influence in this one but there sounds like something else coming in too and I can't pinpoint it. Great professional sounding piece.

the guitar on the intro is amazing...it has an almost ethereal quality. This actually reminds me a lot of the Ozric Tentacles, you may have heard their stuff...excellent, musically at least. The vocals here very good, got a sort of creepiness witht her soft way they're spoken, sort of reminiscent of roger waters. Excellent song this...music was amazing

The guitar and song on the whole is very reminiscent of something Santana might do (of sorts), with a mix of someone akin to new-age music (I'm drawing a blank - Ed VanFleet is the only person coming to mind).
I particularly like the dreamy sounds and clean, clear distinction of all the elements.
This is a fantastic genre for you, with all your vast musical talent, to express yourself. Greatly enjoyed.

One of the things I appreciate about you, Traf... and that's you're a true original. You know your genres, and have the skills and background, but whatever you do, you make your own.
Well, that's two things... but what the heck...
Superb production, perfect playing, and the concept driving this is so wonderfully experimental, that I'm in love with it!
Another great one... you haven't let me down yet!

Holy chops Batman. Kinda Vai meets Cooder. I love that bass sound. Fretless I assume? Drums are great too. You can't possibly be sequencing those can you? Actually there's some riffs in there that totally remind me of Dave Martone. Very cool track.

Cool, everything is teasing and tasty. That synth is too much, its just strippin away layer after layer.
Vocals are a bit eerie, but still comforting, interesting lyrics.
Great guitar-Bass tradeoffs right before 2.20
A little trance, reminds me of some British electronica I've heard.
Sweet guitar in there, and a few speed guitar licks!
Groovy as a tooth, and a great mix too!

Man, this is unbelievishly cool. I love those vocals. LOVE 'em. That bass sounds nice too, and of course the guitars are fantastic. Great stereo spread on the guitars, too.
The mellow feel of the parts with the vocals is a great offset for the energy of the rest.
I had to download this cuz I couldn't stream. I'm glad; it'll keep popping up in my rotation now.

Hold the  for me will yah, I'm gallopin' with this one, it's a winner & we're nowhere near the finishing post yet  cool as hell  All singin' all dancin' die for guitar

The palm mute during solos has always been my favorite. You attack with that technique then explode to crisp clear highs and accent with some screams That's Gilmore - Fripp - Neil Geraldo [Benatars lead guitarist] I also liked the way you used the synth to act as a slap-back echo for the guitar in spots. It gives the feeling that the song is fighting/struggling to break free of it's tethered spirit Very Bowie of you Rog could'a been a track on Bowie Low [my fave]

I'm listening to a whole bunch of your stuff ( not really commenting right now, as I'm also working) but this one *really* caught my attention. I love the more abstract nature of it, the grooviness of the bassline just kills me, and I love the dynamics. The drum breaks are incredible, and I'm completely blown away by the guitars as usual! Loving the spoken word vocals, too.
This is fantastic -- great job man!

How did I miss this!? Wow. Hands down my fave, and I'm perfectly confident in that statement, since this song and I already have a history (fourth consecutive stream ). Drum track is brilliant, and all the stringed dialogue is awesome: that fretless always seems to have a snappy retort to whatever virtuosic sass your lead can throw at it. Nice use of the pads, and your softspoken vox have a lot of power, thanks in no small part to that poetical lyric! Right on!

Im pretty sure I've streamed this one before.Great sounds.Im really loving that bass.The guitar riffs are very vibrant and full of life.Vocals sound good, although im left with wanting more vocal lines in this one.For some reason this sounds like a techno/trance song done with rock as the means of bringing it to life to me.

always a pleasure to listen to your playing Rog, this tracks has a jazz fusion/progressive rock feel to it that is quite infectious... 
the bass sounds like it's fretless...
The mellotron/choir voice are subtle and add a nice touch as the vox are subdued and just right in the mix...
