Aaah, very nice - very cinematic. This may very well be part of a movie soundtrack. This song has some sort of Arabic/Oriental influence which makes it so interesting. Wonderful monotone, creeping drum pattern; guitar work is perfection, KED. All those different tones, those licks ... phenomenal. Gabriel, your choice of synth don't only complement KED's guitars, but they emphasize those intriguing chord sequences you've created here. All in all, a pleasure to listen to; a song which captures you and takes you to a different place. Well done gentlemen! Heinz.

Ah the Dance...Gabe the piano work is all class and then it goes thru a change and WOAH Theres Ked and the music takes on a different feel...Egyptian..The Giants are walking around the Pyramids...relentless percussion,damn this is good...excellent all the way!

Hey Gabriel/KED, well this dance starts out very serenely but as we find out the giants do dance. Rhythm very mechanized with KED's leads dancing on top. Actually pretty heavy stuff without actually sounding heavy...nice trick! Fine job with this collab guys ~Blake

Outstanding! Great fusion guys, done up in a very epic way! I loved it!

classic stuff... proper beefy tune..!! really keeps me interested... nice work usign really great tones. thanks.. :)

Must be fun naming these tracks.. they are skilled and very full and powerful. Synth and guitar fill this one well... sound floods the ears!

Ked's cruisin at 90 then kicks in some warp speed. Gabe's lush musical background is perfect. Excellent track fella's!

Well I'm not sure who's playing what!!! but together you have an awesome sound....lots of depth and texture....very nice!!

So I was walking outside in a lovely snowstorm, no wind, and the flakes were falling so softly on city streets. I turned and found myself entering a dance club, misty with dry ice and sweat, red lights pulsating with the heavy beat. I want to see the snow fall again, but I am held bound by the music. Do you see where you have taken me?

Now there isa coincidence,I have a song called listen I have been thinking about redoing... But I am lethergic these days LOL Beaut of an opening Ked.... Leading nicely into a very rich,lush soundscape where the guitar can soar into the blue. Orchestral and grand. VERY nice tone on the guitars,gritty but not over distorted,and I am envious of the sustain mate. My set up doesn't give me sustain. Excellent lead work,effortless. All in the flow. No one can define the flow,but most can feel it. Yep,a beautiful piece Ked,very regal and powerful. Nigel.

Oh man... way cool! Love the deep dark manacing bass line.... sustaining guitar lines excellent! Love that tone!!!!

looking for your hemi page ked but here i am listening to you two great musicians.. i really love your guitar style ked.. you are versatile.. sometimes epic rock playing.. sometimes outside and avante garde.. my kind of player bro.. this will be compared to floyd i'm sure as most indie rock songs are and it will be a compliment to you and to them.. this is both lyrical and powerful... and certainly masterful.. I hear you love minor keys as much as i do.. or should i say gabe.. man a great comosition and groove gabe and you must be very happy and proud of the great realization that ked has achieved.. thanks for a great listen.. cheers buddies :-)

Great....loved the build in the opening. Some real depth to this songs textures. Excellent playing!

Just Love it...Talk about setting the bar high...I think I have to practice now...nice work Guys... Almost a movie soundtrack potential ...it sounds awesome to me....:)Thx, Bud

Agree with the previous comments, just awesome man! Love this work big time!! Congrats on a great collab!

thanks marc but hehehe.. thats gabe playing on his solo piece to hear my stuff you will have to LISTEN a bit more ;)

hi there!! appreciate your words--just looking around to review someone and bam saw ya dropped by--- thought id return one---you have a great combo of rythmn guitar and nice melodic lead lines--great full sound and some really neat things going on around that lead--nice guitar style you have--holding those notes--very cool--cheers---------- mark

Thanks Larry, The guitar work is by me though...lol. I take that referance as a huge compliment though :)

Deep,dark...vibe !! Superb soundscapes with a refreshing ambience about it ..... Ked does his magical guitar work as always.......... A nice change adds to the brillance of the track !! Well done ....gentleman !!! Wolf *****

Gabe....this is exquisite! You really set the bar high and always clear it by a mile. Super ambience in this music...awesome guitar tone too. you're one of the best composers I know when it comes to knowing when to put that change in. Hats off to you and Ked! !

Very nice song... interesting! I like the way it builds and unfolds. Nice guitar tone. Again, very interesting and well-played!

Ooooh like this :) Power and rthythm.... Instant winner. Love that little guitar riff going with the drums and the powerchord slamming into it :) Awesome :) Fading into ambiance... Excellent drums by the way. Once again,it really doe take up a beautiful rhythmic flow,vocalisations beautiful guitar,the complete package for me. The HUGE break down section was again simply superb. Octivider lead,bliss :) Orchestral soundscape,awesome. Man what a beautiful way to end this piece. E P I C. This is an awesome track Ked. Nigel.

All the colors seem SO right for this song. We've got Gabriel's acutely great sense of rhythmic content here, being accented by KED's wonderful axe work. We've got some vocal that add to the warmth of the first part and some very beautiful and open synth work that interplays with the heady lead guitar line. This really is an awesome sonic masterpiece that entices imagination and wonderful fantasy. I think this is fantastic. Bravo to Gabriel and KED. The variation, thought and execution present here add up to one dynamite masterpiece. WONDERFUL stuff!!! ~Blake

Wow...again! The second movement reminds me of Peter Gabriel's work on "Passion" - excellent. Once again, the intensity and passion come forward. Excellent guitar work. The synth work is beautiful...what a soundscape. The third movement is so sublime...magnificent. Excellent production. KED and Gabe - congrats to both of you on this work of art! Awesome...

Darn, I hit return by accident. There's much more to this track than appears in my review, but rather than talk about it, suggest you just go and have a listen for yourself.

Just had myself an epiphany. I started to listen to this track after hearing "Journey....". This track opened in itunes while Journey repeated itself in winamp. The whole office was throbbing. Another wonderful percussive vibe to this track.Love the cymbal work at about the 0:20 mark and then some wonderful guitar work. Those chords sure have some power about them. Great synth work too....nice twist into the dark and moody synth section before the drums started bubbling up again. There's a real middle eastern feel to the next section. Both the rhythm guitars and lead lines are perfect and the vocals fit the mood beautifully. This is really exotic stuff. Love the composition, the playing and the production. Really top drawer material. Cheers Brian

What a neat & percussive start; whoaa, Like this cosmic to earthy atmospheric journey. Great sound; fine synth artistry. Great guitar; all at a perfect sound level that makes it one...mood change, the vehicle has stopped somewhere in Algeria;desert winds sweep across my channels... love percussion...really fab mix. Good touch of efx. & before I forget that synth choir is fab, fine strings & cello..a puase in the motion...a long mystical journey...lots of good arranging. Fine changes; really well thought through. KED, your focused playing is fab with much feeling for every note...sustains and all, such nifty paths of guitar phrases with meaning,in this long vast expanse. Great chemistry Gabriel & Ked. --EXCELLENT.**** -Your altered friend. -Vesa.

Very big sound here with a huge driving rhythm that pull you in and caries you along on a musical adventure. Really nice production.

love the drums right from the start...intense and drivin. Ked's teasin a little leading up to a nice sustaining melody. 2:00 it changes..classic Gabe...love those synth pads....oooh theres that guitar again...sweet. Man I love the tone and sustain you're getting. 4:22 another cool change .like the slow laidback section here, guitarwork is stellar - keys are so smooth. beautiful swells sround 6:30...What a superb arrangement! percussion comes in and creates still another passage...epic greatness guys!

This is quite epic! Thought it was over there for a minute but realized it was just beginning.... fantastic soundscaping throughout! excellent guitar work! love the crazy avante section in the middle.... wild stuff! beautiful outro..... congrats!

I remember this one....some awesome dynamic changes going on. Ked's in the stratosphere, the notes are great. Gabe, You make some pretty incredible music.

Very sensitive playing KED. Love when guitarists have enough confidence to do this like you do. A perfect title and some great expressive playing that works so well in achieving the goal of this tune. Quite introspective and relaxing. Wonderful!! ~Blake

Great anthem style opening KED, love the tone on those high notes. Awakening is a perfect theme for this, melodic yet powerful. Sound is really coming across my monitors here. I was a little sleepy so I had to listen again, guitar playing in all forms hypnotizes me, this did not disappoint.- Ed

Indeed, an awakening, of sorts. But a very mellow, progressive, gentle-- almost Zen type of awakening-- like the zen alarm clock I have, which starts out with very, very low, almost inaudible sound and gets progressively louder, to gently bring about consciousness coming from the dream world. It's a beautiful piece of work, musicianship, albeit VERY different from the Bracejams that rock my world. You certainly are a versatile musician. Love yeh both! Gina

This is a great track! Ked, you're showing another side in this one. Beautiful soundscape and playing from beginning to end.

That was an intense opening....I liked it when it melted down only to have the bass open it back up to take us on a sonic excursion...vey nice instrumentation and production....yall rock!!

Nice tone on the opening guitar,very playful... Smooth build from there on in.... Once again,very regal and powerful build. Nice drop down to bass and howling guitar,liked that :) Thnderous :) Went into the percussion lead segment perfectly. As the song progressed,the guitar just kept getting better and better. Awesome fade out at the end as well! Nigel.

Wide open and expansive sound with very cool rythmic identities first accentuated by the acoustic, then later by the percussion. Finely executed keyboards, guitars and drums. Great style here lays out a great canvas for mental excursion. Gabriel and KED....I really love this. It's just the right size, well arranged and very interesting. The song flows. Great playing throughout!!! ~Blake

Wow...each movement builds on the previous... This is intense. Excellent performances. Arranged with brilliance. Superb guitar work. Masterful...

Some of the titles appearing on the front page had a familiar ring to them, but the penny has now dropped. This is an amazing piece of work. Gabe's got a furious percussion groove going on in this with some sensational synth work as well. KED's playing is as tasteful as it is marvellous. Gorgeous tones and lines. It's disconcerting at time because I get the feeling the track's finished and I'm disappointed. But then it starts back up again. This is "heady stuff" guys. Wonderful. Congrats. Cheers Brian

Very cool.. opening sound build up suits my imagination well...then the track kicks into some real over drive...before returning to the theme.... lots of rhythym in blended power.
