Are we there yet? This is the kind of tune that makes you not want to get there. Love the energy. You are ripping. All the best, Raz

Really admire your ability to play that "devil guitar". Paul thats it seems that motorbike was to slow for You and you were flying faraway. Cool thats a masterpiece of rock guitar playing - thats for shure. Greetings from Erik

you took me for a fast and furious ride on that gorgeous moteesickle!! thanx man!! cheers--mark

I don't know why,but I have afeeling style-wise that this is a kind of returning to your roots piece? Just something about it... Anyways,yes,it's all here: The pace,the feel,the atmosphere,and the sheer hanging on for grim death through the tight s-bend Must also note the bass,fine supporting role to the frantic guitar work. Excellent work Paul,this is going to be some CD. Reminded me of Chris Spedding,or Montrose,with that engine slide :) VERY damned cool mate. Nigel.

Superb and SO reminscent of Satch. Killer axe suitable for highway speeds and the twists and turns. Awesome chops Paul, wrapped up in a compelling and protein rich song. ~Blake

Absolutely hot track, pure headbanger rock passion and loud'n'proud rock presence, love this. Nice variation from your more atmospheric instrumentals :) Pascal

Paul, all I can say is this: "Wow!" I get the sensation of great acceleration and a feeling of exhilaration when the leads let fly on tihs. You compose so well, and everything flows so effortlessly... Sorry you have to sell you bike, but at least you have this great song! Peace, Jim

Hy Paul...what a "last ride"..EXCELLENT WORK...PERFECT !!! Frank

Superb....energetic ROCKER !! Guitar a blazin' down the Hwy. Excellent guitar work,,,,with great production ! The backing tracks are kickin'! Ride ON !!!! cheers, Wolf

Wow! What an energy booster. Is that you on the guitar or on the bike at 2min. 41.sek accellerating like a speed demon? I'm guessing guitar but I'm genuinely unserten. Sounds fab, blew me away. Grats on a kick **** tune bro. Peace Papi (Paul)

aww man...nice intro! has a real "bike flyin down the road" feel..exciting riffs...you got balls to sell it...something i could never do. lol Sounded great cranked to the 10's ..somewhat like the bike did i suppose. excellent werk. bikerbri.

Paul, my M3 brother, this is absolutely killer. your tone and attack on those notes is second to none. then the change up and then you shift those gears back to overdrive and man you're flyin at warp speed but Always keeping melody at the fore front. Like Gina said....that was FUN!!!!!!

been meaning to get to this one! paul man--you rock with the best of the best ! congrats on the album--alot of work but by the sounds of it--killer!! great guitar slinging!! love your playing and love the change ups---wah wah wah! mark

Think this is the first time I've heard your work. Remember reading your blog about this, and it got me thinking about a visit to your page. Cause if you produce a track of this caliber just for selling a bike, then what are you capable of when you get really serious. Top class stuff very well done

Paul this is a fantastic rocker! Man you, Luay and Ked should all get together and rock out a tune. Love the section with the time change. Awesome!! Man this is a sweet tune that is executed with the precision of a laser. Killer tune my friend!!

Is that your bike at the start and end Paul? Well, in between is when the song takes off ; )) Especially liked the take off at 1:30... sheesh... and then a calm at sea at around 2:15. Awesome outro! Satriani would take a bow, along with your fellow M3 bros! Cheers to a killer tune Paul! Bob

Excellent energy tune, Paul! I'm not gonna comment on anything technical-- what's NOT to love about it? It's a masterpiece. Shredder's dream, and it'll impress the hell outta any of them. Nice change up at 2:08, and I love the way you ended it. That was fun! Here's smilin' atcha! Gina/Whpie

Always a please to hear a new Paul Oakley tune!! It's been too long my friend! Great road tune tune on this!! I hear a bit of Satch on this one. Very good performance as usual. Nice tone, recorded cleanly. Technique is over the top brother!! Excellent work! Regards, Mike Kissel

Paul...this is outstanding...a wonderful piece . As someone who loves to learn of the ancient civilisations of planet earth, any music alluding to such is always a must to listen to. this song opens the doors of the imagination...a vision of the pharoah's journey to the tomb is very clear...A great adventure in music and imagination.- Gordon

Great my friend...10 of 10 points !!! Frank

This is typical P.O. guitar sound: crystal clear, outstanding technique and a wonderful melody. You are very popular Paul because you are a phantastic guitar player.... This song express very intensive the atmosphere of Egyptanian culture and brings this oriental feeling. I'm deeply impressed of that tune. Greetings from Erik

Done in the tradition of great progrock Paul, and I'm definitely with you on that. Wonderful arrangement and build. Song is a delight from start to finish. Intelligent writing and delivery that meets and exceeds the lofty goals of the song. Awesome mate....an exhilarating piece to say the least....Blake

well i'm all set for that eastern mode after reading the reviews.. a lovely atmospheric start and i love that long wammy ascending pitch.. i love these exotic modes with the minor 2nds in the "wrong" places lol.. you really extract the best melodic qualities from the material.. love the windows in the beat.. the breaks that highlight your awesome runs.. it's nice middle part with a very subdued beat and real nice acoustic chordings.. really sounds like phrygian mode paul.. or were you working out on some special egyptian mode?.. lovely shredding to end.. impressive piece with lots of regal grandeur and splendor in the broad scope of it..

Love the sound of the wind in the intro (blowing the sand across the desert and rustling the tents?) What a powerhouse of sound you`ve created here..Has a wonderful "arabian" flow to it..Guitar is fantastic to say the least and this really does conjour up some quite incredible visions in my mind...You have one gigantic piece of music here Paul...An excellent listen..:-) Peace n love Mags :-)

Only 2 songs of your GREAT range here???!?!?!? Well this is,awesome. Simple as that. It sets the stage right from the get go,and doesn't miss a trick ATMOSPHERE. Being somewhat a lover of all things egyptian,you can well imagine how this fires my imagination. Sueprb musicanship throughout. Spellbinding lead work. That rhythm.....sigh... perfection,and then... More lead,only this time blisteringly fast... Then we hit the break,and that was just sheer magic. I could have listened to that for easily twice as long,which is always the hallmark of something you are greatly enjoying. The plunge back into power........... Speed with taste and control... Man you should have seen the head cinema rolling Paul,I did you proud. AWESOME :) Nigel.

Paul, it was a pleasure to listen to this fine song of yours! These deep, lush and powerful sounds you've got goin on here ... fantastic. Your guitar work is extraordinary, to say the least. The title perfectly matches the vibe of this song. Simply wonderful! Cheers Heinz.

hey paul--man you been busy today--wow!think i heard this on soundclick but been a while since i listened to your great work--ahh yes those opening riffs--just love the arabic melody--killer work as i admire your choice in phrasings--hot stuff!! can i say anymore--yeah everything blends perfectly--love those whammy cat tail pulls

Paul, you're one of those very few guitarists/songwriters that when I hear you music, I have a smile on my face that takes days to go away. Such an incredible passion and technique to your music. There's a real power here, one that goes way beyond just skill. It's all about the song. And you put this one together so well. Man, this is dynamic at every twist and turn. Plenty of wonderful surprises along the way. I love the break around 3:20 or so... and all those fantastic notes in between... Peace, Jim

Paul this is fantastic. Great tones and I love that egyptian sound, I love the way you play. and the production is fantastic. this is a gem. Peace Terry

beautiful! love the eastern influence on this. man this sounds huge! guitar solos are nothing short of spectacular. would love to hear this one in my car and sme serious decibels!

HUGE sound here with the guitar! Absolutely great! The drums an bass are just very nice. Great mix, great feel on the axe!!! Love the tune! Cheers, Mike

ah theres my m3 brother! absolutely great hearing your guitar sing again.

Awesome intro there. Cool guitar playing. I can hear the Egyptians in the song. Great synth textures. Outstanding production work. Thanks for sharing this with us. Emphyrio :)

No way I would miss another Paul Oakley song. Man, I am a big fan of yours. I love this big sound. Guitar is stellar, as I would expect-- and the drums sound great on this. The droning background give is the Egyptian flair-- lots of drama in this. Like the soft changes at 3:10-ish. So glad to have you back!! Wow Paul, this is huge. Glad I noticed you up there in the "newest songs" category. Best, Gina/WHP

Another thoughtful piece. Dual leads, lush melodies. Superb playing that stacks up to songwriting. Very very good stuff Paul ...Blake

thought sure i'd reviewed this one paul.. must have been the same title recently.. this one is more mainstream in outlook and mode.. this is a straight ahead rocker with some real nice harmonized guitars.. nice progression.. the guitars are layered real nice.. the lead is always ready to make it's presence known.. and then you shred it to the bone.. what i love is your fast stuff is really well placed and spaced.. there's no pure self indulgence.. your virtuosity serves the music.. the way it should be.. a modest gun slinger.. great piece paul.. some awesome playing that we hopefully don't take for granted in your case.. cheers..

My cousin in a freefall nutcase... He does the team work as well,stacking themselves and doing all kind of mental things LOL He once asked me if I wanted to buddy jump.I politely declined the offer to throw myself out of airplane whilst strapped to a maniac. Seemed the sensible thing... I contented myself doing t-shirt designs for them... So,I could well imagine how this music would fit the bill... "They" have a little slogan: "We know why the birds sing" It is with that in mind that I get that sense of not "Falling",but flying. The musicanship is flawless as always... I can only imagine how the latest versions of these songs must sound,I mean,man this sounds so good.... "They" also have another little saying... "It is better to be down here wishing you were up there,then to be up there wishing you were down here" A note of caution against rash jumping in bad conditions,and again with that in mind,just maybe,if this song is anything to go by... There are times when I think maybe I should have joined the maniac,just to see how much the gods hated me :) Superb Paul,simply stunning. Nigel.

Ooo, I thought that intro was pretty cool. Can't believe I missed this one. I've been digging your playing since I heard Awaken. I'm thinking this one ws pretty laid back for you, until I heard your chops kick in. Excellent! Gina/whp

this one just ROCKS, I love the flow and and the easy way the music flows with the melodies riding on top like the wind, it just flows. this is fantastic. buddy your playing never stops amazing me. Just Awesome Terry

Excellent guitar skills used in an overall great rock instrumental. This represents a high level of achievement in both writing and performance. I haven't listened to much rock on mixposure yet, but you have set the bar very high. The next rock song I listen to will be difficult to review as this is such a home-run. Really, really, good playing. I would listen to a whole album of this. jk

EXELLENT SOUND! Mr. Paul Blackmore! Neda

i clicked mixposure, and you were the artist of the day. who knew you were even here. i remember this song. either from soundclick or the old place. i love the harmonizing guitars. the great style you demonstrate. excellent song.

How weird is that? I had not reviewed this!?!?!?!?!? Oh well,many apologies Paul for my oversight. I have yet to hear a piece by you that is not both a showcase for your guitar skills,AND,brimming over with emotion. This is NO exception. Beautiful written and aranged. Rich,lush soundscape,perfect for the soaring guitar,both in melody and lead. It has to be said that it is when you launch skywards on the lead that most of us just sit and shake our heads and wonder how a man makes a guitar sound like that... The movement into the arabic scale was beautiful,it posativly radiates emotion. As always,just amazing to sit and listen to you do your thing. Excellent. Nigel.

Guess I'm a little late to the party, eh Paul? Well, heard this track on iMS radio and wrote it down. Lost the paper and just found it. First off love the soundscape you've create with all your instruments. Second, great song structure/progressions. Third, some magnificent guitar playing. Quite some magical winding and weaving. Some guitar players play, and some talk. You are a talker mate....and love what you're doing here. Simple awesome!! Better late than never... ~Blake

Money!!! Great track with many different flavors. LOVE the non-western feel you had in there too! Great sounding everything. Amazing playing as well!

Hey Paul! It's GREAT to have you here. I remember enjoying this track in good ol' Mixposure days. It's a fantastic track alright! But you had so much more... Please post more of your wonderful music, I can't wait to hear your magical songs.

Whoa, this is really a killer tune. Great chops you got there. Very tastefully done.

Nice job. Production, performance, arrangement all working nicely here. Tasteful and energetic.

Hey Paul; This is a great tune. You sure can touch those strings with a soulful expression. Always love your playing;fluid and also most expressive. Excellent sound. Take care. -Vesa. (Happy Holiday and all the best next year).

I always have to check and see if I've reviewed the songs I find. I can't keep 'em all straight. This one is an exception, I hadn't. I still had to wait until it was over before I could write anything, since you play too well for me to do both at the same time. Paul, you are a great guitar player, that's been established, but you are also a fine songwriter. I admire how you keep the melody unspooling, going different places, like a great story should be. You use the full arsenal of great tones, sprinkling them here, there and everywhere, keeping the song lively. This is a great track, and I'm certainly glad to find it right here. Peace, Jim

Hello Paul, its great to hear your incomporable guitar music. I´m breathless !!! LOve your style and your perfection!! Erik

I love Your songs .. This is a Killer !!

Holy carp is this good!! The production is top-shelf, but the playing is what has people talking by the water cooler. You play with such conviction that I didn't want to listen to anything else (incl. my kids). Great, great sosng! Enjoyed the ride.

Really enjoyed this one Paul. Great playing and production.

Yeah, I'm FREEFALLin' once again with Paul "O"! Great to hear you at the Scene. Those top musicians who reviewed before me got it right - this is clean and tight, as all your work is. Back the truck up and unload some more tunes.

Man this is fantastic. You and Chrickon should collaborate on a song. It would be amazing. What I really love about this song is the subtle clean guitar that creeps into the song in spots. Very cool. Paul your playing is remarkable. Added as a favorite!

Paulio, You are here with me!!!!! So cool...great to see your friendly smiling face! Please keep in touch Brother!!! Pii

ah there you are..was wondering when you would drop in and treat us to some awesome guitar slinging. Excellent all around Paul, always a pleasure to listen to you.

Wow, great intro. Nice wide mix good full background to your lead. Just a nice project all around. Well done.
