Man, what a tune!!! Excellent all the way! I will have this one on my show this Saturday, July 19! Awesome stuff, Sci!!! Mike

Ok.. i hear your influences.. but there is something else there yep it is this ultra freaking incredible MUSIC! Mr Giant.. what can i say.. the level of production.. musicianship and craftsmanship is increcedibly evident. You certainly have a gifted set of hands not to mention a very gifted sense of composition and structure. I love music like this ..i can close my eyes and let it take me on a flight in my own mind. I am a fan Mr SiFi Art Man indeed i am a fan

Powerful... sturdy expression... skilled musical thought... so clean and exact... enjoyed the driving energy that really wraps around this one!

Excellent, don't hear this kind of prog since ELP disappeared. I've tried, but can't put it together like you can! Great construction and sounds! I love anything with changing time signatures and feel. You should be proud of this one!!

Now you know i have heard this many times!! One of my absolute fav's!! kickarse playing and delivey!! OH.. how i would love to jam ( "live" kicka$$ drums) on this monster si-fi! Any time you want bro!! I'm game!! amazin flyin fingers!!

Tight and hugely entertaining. Absolutely awesome use of rhythm wound up in wonderful keyboard melody magic. This belongs on Tarkus all the way. Incredible song! ~Blake

WOW, WELCOME TO THE 70īS!!!!!!!!!!! :) THIS IS TOTAL 70īS FUSION ROCK ALA GENESIS, ELP, DEEP PURPLE, ETC. VERY NICELY DONE. :) I HEARD A LOT OF THIS KIND OF MUSIC FROM MY DAD AND OLDER BROTHER. ALWAYS LOVED THE FUSION ROCK, JAZZ ROCK, AND BASICALLY ALL FUSION MUSIC. YOUR PRODUCTION LEVELS ARE PRETTY GOOD. BIG SOUND, I LIKE THAT. I WOULD BRING THE DRUMS UP A BIT IN THE MIX, ITīS A BIT KEYBOARD TOP HEAVY, BUT THEN AGAIN, YOUīRE A KEYBOARD PLAYER, AND THATīS HOW YOU PROBABLY HEAR IT. :) LOL VERY NICE TRACK. REALLY ENJOYED IT. THANKS FOR THE GREAT REVIEW. GLAD YOU LIKED MY MODERN BEAT AND SONG SNIPPETS. IīLL BE BACK TO LISTEN AND REVIEW MORE, BECAUSE I LIKE THIS KIND OF STUFF. :)

transcripts of time! tight--very dramatic piece--those synth lines are killer!!!! progressive to the max!! great mood and production--cheers mr scifi man!! mark

Transcripts of Time, now this is the real stuff! I love this one, as you know, and it certainly kicks **** from the first note. This is one of those tunes that moves from idea to idea so seamlessly that it's just amazing. Outstanding! Peace, Jim

Wow, thanks so much for piling on guys! (you too Leeta!) I really apprecaite the kind comments of support! It means more to me than it probably should! :) ReaperSG - Glad to meet you. I love how you take a deep interest in your review material and really look under the carpet for the soul of the song. You can expect to see my ugly mug over at your place soon, to return the favor! Thank you. Leeta - (does anyone else ever find themselves singing Lovely Leeta meter maid...?) I really never had any vision of ELP while working on this one, but I love the compliment! On my song Early Warning I DID hear the link and hammed it up just a bit in that direction. :) But I'm really trying to create a unique sound all my own - must try harder... must escape past impressions... must work double shifts in studio! :) Thevi - Thanks so much for the cool comparisons, so honored to be in such fine company! And I'm trying not to put flute in EVERY damned song! But glad to hear you like that passage. Be seeing you at your place soon. Thanks again! SFAM / NG

TOT is a great SciFi prog song! It never gets dull, and thats because of loads of variation and great use of sounds. ELP meets Purple meets Dream Theater meets SciFi! The woodwinds/piano part are my favorite part of this song!! And the organ offcourse!!

this has to be my fa SciFi track!!! i still think of Emerson Lake and Palmer when i hear it....and that's a good thing! Transcripts of Time just moves flawlessly!!!

This is great! The rhythm and how you play it and the melody lines over top are awesome, very tasteful and delivered with passion. I love this style!

Thanks FP. Yes, all the art work is my own. Hmmm, now you've put at a loss - I was planning on uploading different art (more hi-tech abstract), but now I'm not sure what to do! Hehe, problems, problems! Thanks again! SFAM / NG

A nice ELP feel here . Do you do all the art work for these ? Very cool. fp

I can't believe I'm not having to wade through the reviews on this song....this was the sound I grew up to....I used to spend months listening to Wakemans...journey to the center....and Tarkus.....those being my 2 faves for key players....really dig this groove......a lot!!!

I had to check and see if reviewed this yet, cause I've already heard it a few times. Luckily, I hadn't reviewed it yet over here, in the New Place. Epic, totally epic... huge mix, thoughtfully placed instruments, great transitions, sweeping flourishes of keys, great tempo changes. Larry Fast should've done this one, while at a hootenany with Keith Emerson, but they didn't, and you did. And that is very cool! Peace, Jim

That great Keith E feel. Another one in the Tarkus/Trilogy vein. Wonderfully written and performed from one end to the other. Great sounds and sound quality too. Kudos SFAM! ~Blake

I'm gettin an ELP feel here, some excellent playing on the keys, bass is really solid and effective with the drums. A real big sound, yeah I'm diggin this a lot. You got some serious talent!

Wonderful track filled with emotions most of which is uplifting to me. The song flows well with plenty of very smooth and grand melodies. This has got a beautiful feel and motion to it. Excellent writing and playing SFAM. Would just love to hear some new stuff too! (hint) ~Blake

Tremendous track! So musical, gentle and noble. Its mesmerizingly smooth flow has such a relaxing and soothing effect. A work of the master!

Beautifully orchestrated..........outstanding mix and production.Enchanting melody line which embrasses the listener. This is a great track ! Well done

and yes.......again. This is one of your BEST, for sure. This has such a great emotional melody.......LOVE IT!! Rob

Love the acoustic intro, Yeah Rob's right, this is a awesome song. The performance is flawless and it produced a gentle yet powerful sound. Great mix, great playing creates something special.

Thank you Rob so much. I really appreciate your input on helping me decide which version to pick at the end. This song really came out almost exactly as I had envisioned it - which doesn't always happen for me. It's a very personal song, that really expresses the complex emotions I feel about life's great adventures, or at least part of the way I feel. I guees my more firey songs are another part too! :) Thanks for dropping by and spreading some cheer! SFAM / NG

Doc........this is one of your BEST, IMHO. I LOVE this song. It fits for about any mood I've had. I LOVE your choice of the final mix. I am SO GLAD you found your way here :-) Rob

wow! Definite ELP sound here. Pretty damn awesome! Outstanding keyboard playing to say the least. This is just a cool song. What a great listen.

I gotta totally agree with the word "magestic," which this certainly is, and mighty darn melodic as well. You write so well. This is arranged intelligently, with alot of precision, but still has a great "live" quality, particularly with the drums. The production, as I've come to expect, is crisp and alive. Nice tune! Thanks for sharing your music! Peace, Jim

A majestic theme I absolutely love, built with some great and epic sounds. A bombastic theme gets the motor running. Then the change in part 2 communicates a new imagery, and a great counter-melody is built and allowed to develop with a classical bolero elegance. A dramtic ending tops this song off in fine fashion. It's a thoughtful masterpiece, and most definitely one of my favorites from this top-notch artist. This should be listened to several times to appreciate all the song elements. Wow! ~Blake

Man, You write some really great songs, so far they all stand with the best progressive rock I've heard over the years, bands like Kansas, ELP, Styx, Yes...you know where I'm going. I will listen to all of your songs because I like the style that much.

Hey Sci, that's one heck of an epic, man! I really dig all the synth work. Great movements within the piece. I'll have to listen to more of your stuff .. been a while since I have and I don't want to miss out on any real goodies, like this jewel here! Perfect all the way! Cheers, Mike

GREAT!!! To see this song completed...OK!!! Proud to be # 2!! Great intro to tell a musical story of "The Legend of Man". This is exciting.....change at 3:40.....WHEW!!! VERY TIGHT arrangement.....and very flowing......excellent transitions everywhere.....man, you just keep the listener on the edge throughout. GREAT TRACK, DOC NEO!!!! LOVE IT!! If there's a DL,......going for the one......hehehehehehehehehe!! Doc, this has it all!! Now, I need to have a concert with NEO G and TCP.....whew!!! Rob's ProgFest!!! Rob

Sci Fi...man its Awesome to see a new one by you... Yep Blake got it right this is magestic and carries a superb sound. The keyboard work is stellar.

Yes...the first one! Incredible magestic melody right from the gate - very memorable and satisfying. Love the 3:40 ELPish change with awesome KB playing, then to about 5:15 where serenity and lush atmospherics overtake. Beautifully conceived, and then at 6:30 a quick transition to another theme at about 7:00. Traditional classical lines abound and again the melody is very distinct and allowed to fully blossom and morph to grand scale prior to the 10:30 finish line. Wow SFAM..... This is just an exquisite piece. Majestic, memorable, and so finely linked with great classical form..this fantastic adventure cannot go out of style. It is SO obvious alot of thought went it to this thoroughly intelligent design (considering the title - no pun intended). Love the movements, love the melodies, the sound, playing, transitions....it's all great. You really have this whole thing buttoned down. The flow from movement to movement is great with alot of cool transitional work. A gorgeous piece I wish I had written. And your performance is so wonderful here. AWESOME my friend!!! And thanks for the DL ;-)~Blake

Your songs sound so huge. Very unique writing style and i am digging it. This song has some great drama along the way. You and Gary C would make a great writing team.

Rhythmically aggressive and intensely purposeful. The themes are distinct and the transitions have wonder transitional chords. Hell, the song is loaded with great progressions. I was thinking of Peter Gabriel mid-career here quite strongly. THIS SONG IS ADDICTIVE!! Another favorite from a wonderful artist. Wow Again!! ~Blake

oooh this has that big arena sound to it. Nice main riff pattern. Steady like an army marching into battle. Cool tune, I'm liking the intensity.

Yeah, this is definitely a hot flowing RIVER OF FIRE, a "rocksterpiece" as reapersg called it. Solid composition and production, as always, from you.

Yep, back on the primo prog spot on IMS. Another awesome song. I like the Kansas + Enigma comparison. It fits this song.

man this is sweet! reminds me of RUSH in a way and that is a good thing! man the bar is always being raised around here!

Another really cool song, I like the way it starts, then breaks into a powerful uptempo rocksterpiece....I get a little Kansas meet Enigma influence. Man I'm hearing some great music here.

SFAM,this is cool I found a new one by you! listening I hear a lush and beautiful melodic piece. WOW...you come up with some of the most magestic music, so full and alive. Blake said Captivating and I say FASCINATING!!!!

Hey Sci Fi... Wow this is just beautiful stuff. Excellent in every way. Great to see you here...and yhis song was a treat to listen to. Hugs...Mike (NAV)

Yes... a tapestry of beautiful melody lines and timbres! Well done!

Absolutly beautiful work here. The selection of voices used were good and the synth vocals worked well. Overall I really like this one but would have liked to have heard the drums and bass kick in sometime later in the track to add power and bring it home. Well Done

SFAM...so great to hear another one...and wow. Love the positive vibe and swirling synth and voices with your piano. Superb melodic development in such a short powerhouse of a song. This is very uplifting and love how you have this innate ability to establish captivating melodies. Awesome man! Love it! ~Blake

incredible heart wrenching emotional MUSIC .. i am at a loss for words, a rarity indeed

Sweet work... oh that pure synth sound just pulls you in to the haunting themematics and swirl and passion... envelopes the ears and brain...aptly titled for the lush feelings and imaginative visuals it generates. Very well done!

Beautiful, lush wash of sounds that pulled me in right from the beginning. You have a gift for arranging with synths that is totally uplifting! Love your sound and style!

Lovely composition. Beautiful and uplifting! Richard

Oh phew....:-) Where is music like this born?....Simply gorgeous. This is one of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces of music I`ve heard in a very long time...I don`t think anyone who listens to this will be dissapointed. If you`re not already famous, then you`re well on your way...Pure pleasure for sure...Kudos..Listening to this is like being wrapped in a cloud of "swans down", soft and extremely comfortable.. peace n love mags xx :-)

YES!!!! Man!!! It's about time, DUDE!!! :-) WELL, worth the wait for a perfect piece. It's totally BEAUTIFUL.....I LOVE and now can't wait for your CD II :-) You know I lost your sample copy of this in my PC crash :-(....hint....hint....hint.....hehehehehehehehe Rob

What can i say?Hard to find right words...this is so amazing and emotional piece of music!Excellent production and arrangement. This is masterful work...pure gold!!! Gary C

This IS one outstanding piece of music.Great vibe....and use of melodic splender.Deep ,haunting orchestration brings this to life and a musical journey of superb fulfillment....KUDOS !!! Larry T.....

Knockout stunningly gorgeous SFAM. Haunting yet hopeful. Light but dark. Pensive yet free. You've captured alot in this beautiful statement. Awesome playing, arrangement, and production. The song has a depth beyond the breathtaking sonic architecture you've created. JUST AWESOME! ~Blake I hope people take the time to appreciate this for what it is!

Lovely composition. The swirling arps give a real wash to the background and it's a hauntily beautiful melody line. Who says synths can't produce emotion and feel. Great work NG. Cheers Brian

NG... sound quality is great...rhythym and drive takes this on its way over its induced imagery... the synth solo section was sweet to my ears... nice strong piece. Enjoyed....henry!

Excellent piece this is. its got a delicate melody playing over a sweet arpeggiated synth. lovin the chords and the mood you create.

Thank you FP. And I appreciate the invite to the forums. I'll try to find my way over there, I'm stumbling in the dark around here. Thanks again. SFAM / NG
