Some kinda prog thingy. Others have mentioned similarities with PT and Oldfield, and I can see that. I also thought parts of this had a Sigur Rós vibe. I saw the length of the track and thought I would play it whilst cleaning up old email, but in the end, I just listened. Quite a spell.

I imagine a few late-nights were involved in the making of this one.

Good work

Just one late-night - The all-nighter I pulled to reach the challenge deadline

Such a great compliment. For many reasons, I think that (at least in it's present incarnation), it works better as background music. That way, the faults might be missed, leaving an overall good general feeling

Haven't heard any Sigur Rós, but will definitely check 'em out. Ditto PT (Porcupine Tree??). As for the 'Oldfield' compliment:

Thanks for the listen, and for taking the time to comment

for sr seek out the ( ) album first, such beauty
although agaetis biryani (something similar in icelandic) is also a great starting album.
all their albums are great tbh, but hear either of those two first and i reckon you're hooked

fave pt albums personally yellow hedgerow dreamscape, on the sunday of life, up the downstair..

in that order.
although the incredible expanding mind f**k album is pretty cool, but that's a wilson side project. (bit more ozricy than floydy)

you have heard the ozric tentacles?

I have a couple of ideas written, a few concepts to flesh out, and about 45 seconds recorded

It might happen. I did think that if I did get a few tracks down, but nowhere-near finished, that I would do some ambient remixes of the material already recorded. Only if it works, of course. And only if I can't drop the idea of completing, for it's own sake. Otherwise, I do have some ambient-ish vibes planned for the album, and Paul has been notified and advised to limber-up for a possible workout

No nerves.

Since I've released the need to hit a target, I'm enjoying the process a little more. I've also been experimenting more with performing/re-recording parts until they are right, and not quantising. I would generally start like this, anyway, but eventually end up pulling everything back, dead on that clock. I do need to do some editing to reign-in the more errant notes/hits, but the whole process is proving to be a much more (I'm gonna say it) organic, and (Yeah, I'm gonna go there) 'musical' approach. Either way, it's proving to be more enjoyable playing music, as opposed to editing on-screen

It works for me. The thunder works especially well at the moment accompanying Storm Dennis outside. I enjoyed the extended "Floyd" radio section during the intro. Maybe my memory is failing me, but this one seems to have a more "cinematic" style than 98gm, and possibly more relaxed as well. I loved the vocals in the last couple of sections. Great build-up and finale.

Good work
