I think velour says it all really.

Peace.

Oh yeah. Sweet guitar playing up there with Santana and a beautifully arranged/produced composition. Love the spacious mix and the use of the reverb/delay is perfectly done. What a great soundtrack this would be for the right movie.

I loved velour...  it was a big rage for the inside of vans and stuff at one time... I suppose some think that is creepy these days.. but man that velour was soft...

this song ain't exactly soft.. but it is silky... and that bagpipe sort of drone is amazing back there to play over...

super guitar work!  nice tones.. and really well played.

Blooby. The one who makes me wonder if i should start practicing...

Great huge open ambient spaces and the icing of the cake: The melodies and lively soloing.

Grabbed me from tyhe intro with the psychadelic vibe and then that wondeful lead guitar with that jazz tone. Very cool Blooby! Then a slight change of gear. Steve Hillage vibe!

It's not often that I download songs anymore, but for you I make an exception.

I must have listened to this at least 20 times since yesterday and I must say this is a masterclass in how to make a dreamy mixolydian instrumental that keeps the interest from start to finish.

You have the quality of some of my greatest guitar heroes, inventiveness, laidback precision, great melodic feel and playfulness.

I'm a fan

Brilliant... I can only echo what everyone else has said, tremendous tones - reminded me a bit of Eric Johnson's tone. And a shout out for the very cool and tasteful drums too.
