I gotta say I absolutely love the intro...it has a 100% live feel similar to one of my favorite live recordings called Live Rust by Neil Young...that entire recordings are so friggin awesome...
I love your lead guitar breakdown in here...it's a really great mix and vocally strong as well....
awe sum...and the background vox sound great too

and extra points for the length!!!

[Greeny]

Love that long, languid intro. I got the Neil Young vibe too. Then those chords on the chorus - wow! Proper ear candy. There's some superb musical chemistry between you all. Outstanding and inventive guitar work, and amazing drumming from Jarle (plus kudos for drumming & singing!).

A proper live recording length. My iPad pooped at 7:20. Lol

I really dug this. Just an all around terrific effort. I wish my voice had the same grit to it.

Did you have to lower the fidelity of the mp3 to upload it?  Curious because I'm working on a large track currently

Wow, 8 and a half minutes! And not a single bum note to be heard, once again you guys are TIGHT. I definitely hear some Neil Young in this, but it's totally got its own thing. I love the Roger Waters hypnotic bass and those jazzy fills on the drums sound so great. This track has an ominous vibe to it, especially with those haunting backing vocals. It didn't even feel that long  Fabulous jam

[Geir]

Thanx Guys ! Much appreciated!

I must say we do have a lot of fun in this band, and it feels like we never stopped playing together 25 years ago.

Indeed I had to. It's compressed to 112kbps. To my surprise it did not sound much worse than 128kbps.

I amazed how this sounds at that low bit rate. When I squash something that low, it gets this horrific washy effect. Great recording and performance. Makes me miss my band days, but any thought of trying again makes me wonder where I'd stash the bodies.

Kudos for all the space in here. I find that most bands rush to fill every open spot with everything they've they've got and then some.  Killer guitar. Looking forward to more.

Totally right up my alley...love, love this.....son-of-a-gun how I love this...spooky, its got spook...those backing vocals are incredible

[thetworegs]

Throughly enjoyed an excellent recording too

[Nelson]

Mind Blowing intro indeed.
Outstanding arrangement and the mix (shaking my head).. absolutely stunning.
Everything seems so perfectly and purposely placed.
Holy S**T that solo is wicked.
The vocal and drum performances are to die for.
Hats off to U chaps
