I guess this is a little proggy.

A very cool bit of prog rock for this Christmas morning listen Jarle! I like the change at 1:50, nice! I also hear a little psychedelia in there as well.
Farrell
I love your Prog excursions Jarle. This is pure, sweet, heavenly music, the very best kind of Prog, epic and I love the movement in those bridge sections, utterly, yes, totally, yes even, howlingly good. Its old-school prog like we haven't heard in some time (well, since your last perhaps), and I love it. Well done, I will listen to this a lot over the holiday season.......back in for another listen right now.........I can't wait to get this one blasting out of the good speakers........after breakfast maybe.........
This is top class prog rock, Jarle! Some excellent tempo changes and brilliant job on the guitars, as well! Is there anything you can't do :) . I take my hat off!
Wow! Like BB says it`s just epic. An epic journey! I love it Mr. Prog master!
Yup, I'm hearing bits of psychedelia in here as well as the prog (and man, those time signatures are just amazing). Super full and clean production and performance - epic is the right word!
This is feckin' great Jarle
love the changes in tempo and -that drumming -Wow!!!
Great bass playing as well 8) 8) 8)
A brilliant recording
Tommy
Nice one Jarle, great all round playing......Alex
That was a stunner my brother! What a spectacular track, those tight guitar licks and the fecking drumming is so tight and precise. It's amazingly impressive and just super cool!
Rock on!
Prog is good!
Very interesting, keeps your attention in the best prog traditions. Never sure what is going to happen next, but it still works as a very listenable piece. Enjoyed a lot.
Just the way I like my prog. In bite sized chunks. I enjoyed listening to the instruments in the right field. They way the support the melody in the guitar/melody in the left field. It is a well arranged song. The great thing is this could lead into all sorts of other pieces or it can stand quite firmly on its own and sound good.
HI JARLE well done great rock score and I agree with Farrell
totally different sound but a enjoyable one for sure . bump
and cheers NEIL .!
Wow stand back in admiration, so many parts and so well played proggytastic stuff!!!!!!!!
Excellent work brother !!
Love the complexity in both the melodic riffs and the rhythm and how its all glued together with a constant beat !
Progalicious !
Reminds me a bit of Yes in places !
glad your brother bumped this. excellent stuff jarle. like a lost sixties prog classic. mad as a box of frogs i love it.
Progtastic - definite shades of Yes here, and Steve Howe's guitar lines. Super track.

I really like this! This rhythm and those drums! And that psychedelic feeling. When I was young I listened this kind of music a lot.( Like Sparks). Great playing and singing!
I've only just heard this. On the Okay to Cover jukebox.
This is brilliant, right up my alleyway
Blimey.
Crikey Jarle- brilliant song... I would have no idea where to start with writing/recording so many parts/tempos - fantastic listen.Bravo fella
Andy
Excellent!
Reminds me of Yes and of John McGlaughlin and The Mahavishnu Orchestra.
Jarle, you rock!
Awesome!
A three-ring circus of mad timing here Jarle!
You are a talented dude for sure!
Sounds great!
Thank you for taking time to listen and comment, it's really apreciated.
I guess this is very proggy indeed, and I guess I like it a lot. Love the opening guitar riff with the counterpoint keyboard, very clever and draws you right in immediately. Love what you do with the drums here, they really drive music like this, a problem I always have when I try to do proggy stuff because I have to program drums. Lots of great changes and it all hangs together really well, a great arrangement. A very nice belated Christmas present.
One thing you might want to consider - I am getting a lot of high end frequencies which make it hard for me to pick out the vox in particular and make it sound a bit harsh with the volume up. But that's because I have these very good hearing aids and am listening through monitors, so it could be just me that's picking that up. Doesn't detract from a great song and fantastic musicianship though, loved this one.
A really nice hook on this. Love Prog.
Great prog tune jarle,the bass and drums remind me of Rush .
Cool tune my friend.
I saw that Nick had posted up a tribute cover of this so wanted to indulge myself in this before nipping over to check out his version
There seems an awful long crammed into a three minute song, the way you have pieced all of this together is remarkable, and I love the organised chaos of the arrangement with every section managing to flow beautifully into the next.
I hear songs in my head all the time like this, but once those thoughts reach my hands it all goes to pot...would love a little piece of your talent in this respect!
Big, big song!
Nick brought me to this.
Fantastic Jarle, it's a great great track. I'm sorry I missed it first time round, glad I picked it up now.
A little proggy? Sorry I'm late on this gem but glad I got there in the end. Excellent. Willie
OTD Bump..... back for more.....
Nice one Jarle, And a Merry Christmas to you and yours....
Alex
Great bump. Progtastic Jarle.

I worshipped the full pantheon of Prog in the seventies: Genesis, Yes, King Crimson in particular. This is a well-executed track; the instrumentation takes me back to my Prog roots. I like the timing changes especially, and the fills - the fills are amazing, perfectly in keeping with the genre.
I was a little disappointed when it ended, but only because I'd have liked it to keep rolling for a complete album side a la Supper's Ready or Close to the Edge. Sigh.
Time to listen to it again.

This shuffled onto my stereo in the car on the way home from work this evening. It's just a brilliant piece.
