A progressive rock art piece following the footsteps of Yes, ELP and Pink Floyd. The song begins with a powerful riff with piano and drums, descending to a smooth piano interlude followed by a distort... Read full review

Thanks Yliaster.Yes, I used to listen to some Journey pre Steve Perry era.And also opened shows for Kansas so they've both been influences to some degree. After my current project I'll be working on some new sounds for tis. Thanks again...

Found you through clones...and glad I did. This piece is really great. Reminds me of Kerry Livgren and Kansas..like Journey From Mariabronn period with touches of early Supertramp. And a few other 70's greats. Stellar arrangement! Look forward to hearing more.

Wow, amazing piece! Am I wrong if I guess you've listened Pink Floyd and ELP a lot? :D I wish I had a Yamaha s90, love those pianos *sigh*. Anyway I'm waiting to hear more music from you soon.

I wonder - is the sound quality issue the Moog being so low it sounds like static before it takes off? In a live performance you'd mostly feel it, not hear it.

Hi roncli, thanks for the kind words. I'm curious about the "suspect sound ". I did run the instruments through a tube preamp to get more analog. Could that be it?

Sound quality is a bit suspect, by my god, this is a mind-blowing arrangement.

VBR most likely, TiS probably is just calculating the average bitrate.

Thanks clones, Yes-most parts done on a Yamaha s90 And solo at end done on a Memorymoog with a touch of flange, reverb, and 500 MS deley. Don't really know about the bit rate...

How'd you get a 134.9k bit rate??? Great song! It is really cool that everything is a keyboard!

Lyrics

Is it me or is it the world
sometimes I feel apart
sometimes it's not the same at all
am I free or is this reality
maybe...
