I recently heard a song called "Elements and Things" by Tony Joe White.
This is nothing like that song.
I was going to describe this track as Trance, 1960's style. So I did.
Posted without my usual checks and listening, so may be too bright, unbalanced, &tc, but it is intentionally not supposed to be pristine.
03:00 Gets interesting...

03:50 "Guitar" solo.

As for the non sequitur...
A few months ago I discovered a band called Blues Pills, who've been around for a few years. They do a cover of "Elements and Things", which I think is truly awesome. If you listen to the intro, you may just hear where I've tried to rip off the bass line (starts 00:18).

The first few minutes reminds me of War Of The Worlds. (Jeff Wayne's musical War Of The Worlds)

It gets bombastic towards 5 minutes.

I can't see what it has to do with trance.

Bombast is what I's do.

It's trance because there is a four-on-the-floor kick, and some filter sweeps on the synth. lmagine trance if it was played in the 60's.

Ok i'll take your word for it!

It's got break downs and drops, too!

Ah well, it's just a bit of fun.

I'm glad you enjoy it!

The cliche of a trance breakdown would have a trance drumroll.
