Great instrumental track with superb guitar playing, reminds of Santanna a bit. Nice guitar tones executed with good melodic ideas. Great sounding recording too. Would love to jam with you. Sonic Friend, Chris Bayne

Gorgeous guitar playing Rick....Have to say that this comes with added shivers. Not too many can achieve that feeling but you see to be able to do it effortlessly, making it all sound so very easy, of course I know it`s not... Would love to hear another collab from you with Gina, who has a power house of a voice... :-) Peace n love mags :-)

agree with all the comments thus far rick.. this is an awesome piece of music.. love the backing track as larry mentioned.. and your melody and tone here are just superb.. trademark passionate playing that soars.. i love minor keys and this is a beautiful one.. love the cadence chords.. and the bridge changes give it that extra compositional dimension.. you really played beautifully on this one rico.. cheers..

some great guitar work ,excellent recording job.

Ahh...man - this is just "IT"!!! WHAT a sound!!!! Love the chord progression(s)...excellent mix - perfect rhythm section. AWESOME melody... Spectacular playing my friend. You did a great job on this track! BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Very clean and distinctive playing Rick. And yes I do love the tones you've laid down. The sense of flow and phrasing in your leads is just great as are the bass and percussion. Super nice job and very enjoyable. ~Blake

The unmistakable vibrato and sweet SG sound of our own RWK!!! Rick, you have a GREAT Melodic Theme here.......your guitar is from the heart and soul, as always. Brian says "gut-gripping"...AGREED.....I get "spine chills"....Very.....VERY nice listening and will be MUCH ENJOYED on my commutes :-) Rob

Rick, this one just soars. I agree with the others too about your backing track being just the thing to allow your guitar to speak. Well done! Henry

Nice tones. Love the sustain and emotion.

hi puppa, the song was pretty and i really liked it! hav a great day!! love, beastia! (a.k.a. bwia)

Beautiful and emotionally moving instrumental. Not sure if you're playing the SG or if it plays YOU, but I know the two of you have been together inspired since the mid 70's. I will never tire of the lovely melodies you make, and I hope you never stop making them. I like Nigel's take on all of it-- he has a special way of putting things, and he's right on the money. It's a big one for me, and I love it. Glad you decided to post it, after all.

Rick.... you've done yourself proud, Bro ! Awesome backing track.... giving your guitar magic room to breath and soar... Beautiful groove !! This oozes with passion ,emotion and great musicianship.... SUPERB !***** Larry T...

Very wonderful unique styled guitar playing, most expressive, lot of feeling in every note. Like the other guitar accompanying and the keys are most fine. Good focused percussion and a great bass. Good tone-great sound mix. Most enjoyable arrangment. Superb production. It's essentially your one pointed mindset guitar fingering that emphasizes the whwole compositional direction of an emotive realm. Superb my friend. See you. -Vesa. (Thanks for your inspiration/reviews)

AWESOME RICK! Sure would like to do one together.(why dont you send me this backtrack and ill do my own take on it?).....Im just gona listen now...:).....GREAT GUITAR PLAYING!!!! DACE>

Now this is Progressive / Art Rock folks. Wonderful job my friend. Parts of it bring back memories from Firth of Fifth !!!! Outstanding !

another awesome tune by Rico :) Your guitar playing is always a great ride Reaper. Very emotional with tone to die for. Love the subtle keys in the back. They provide a great backtrack to your fantastic playing!

"Experiment in tone" Well it certainly adds up to a whole lot more than that Rick:) As Brian noted,smoe of those bends are sublime. The shiftingt tones of the SG are definaately the star,but that is not to overlook a very nice soudscape created for them to do their business on. Feels like another very on the momment lead session. Allowing each tone to express itself fully,and we both know that the guiar has a way of telling our emotions to the world. If I had to **** phrase it would be: "Oh damn it,why?" Can't explain that in english,it's just an nudercurrent,or a surrounding aura to the song. Beautifuly played Rick. Nigel.

Beautifully melodic and stirring instrumental Rick. You are ringing some gorgeous tones out of this one. Lovely phrasing and some really gut-ripping bends. The whole track is beautifully packaged with some lovely synth and piano work behind the scenes and excellent bass and drums. Really great track.

Excellent Rick...LOVE the intro! BEAUTIFUL chord work!!! Stupendous solo work...supremely lyrical and full of heart and soul. An AWESOME track Rick!!!

another great track,great playing and recording job

Rick the acoustic/clean electric is beautiful. So rich and warm. The lead is very much in contrast to the acoustic,biting,soaring. Nice gentle synth arangement as well. fx touches on the slide :) Just for pure tone alone,I would say the star for me was the clean electric/acoustic,that has sucha beautiful tone. Greatly enjoyed. Nigel.

Oh man thats a wonderful classical tune. Your guitar work is awesome. Sounds very poetical and tells so many stories. All ,y compliments to You. Erik

This is so good..man im likeing this tune..playing/mix/everything is most fine..good post...strat..

Just the love the chord progressions driving the lead note choices Rick. The is a wonderful heady atmospheric piece that makes me go places (good places!). Just love the intertwining melody....really superb writing and playing...and damn beautiful too. ~Blake

Hello Rick, was good to see you last night ... :-) Now, 'wanderin' through' is such an ecclectic, atmospheric piece - it's wonderful to sit back and take it in; a piece which allows to relax and re-charge your energies. Just what I needed! Thanks man :-) Heinz.

Like the spacey guitar sounds at the start. The picking and chord sequences are delicate and haunting, and the melody is nicely played and lovely. Nice guitar sound. Really enjoyed this. Cheers Richard

I LIKES ME A MAN THAT WILL LISTEN TO ME!..:) THANKS FOR UPLOADING RICK!!!!!! BUDDY....Man you play SO good. And you got some great TONES on this. IS one of your strong points. Tone is very important to a guitar player. You do good at finding new ones..:) AWESOME back-track-sounds. LOVE THIS! IM A BIG FAN BRO! Keep us fans happy with LOTS of uploads..:) SWEET feel and Flow here. It tender... NICE! I learn a few things from you with every listen. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC! DACE>

Rick, this is so freakin' pretty... no other word comes to mind. The melody really is memorable, and I love where you take it. Plenty of dramatic action on the leads, and that wonderful clean bit supported so capably by the keys... You are one of the best damn guitar players I've ever heard. Peace, Jim

Great long sustained tones on the guitar really give this piece a nice ethereal quality. Some very impassioned playing and excellent recording make this a very enjoyable listen. Like to know what gear you're using for that wonderful warm guitar tone. Sonic Friend, Chris Bayne

This is such a sweet track. Beautiful playing...love the arrangement. Flows so nicely...and the guitar work is beyond awesome. Another GREAT RWK track!!!

Rick....sweet guitar sound my man... so full and haunting as it soars above the stew of intrigue created by the rest of the sound scape... and boy some excellent congruent lead playing too.... so easily carries the listener into a sensual place! very nice my friend! .....Henry

this is like a musical epic, a complete movie with all the characters with music as the spoken word. you just keep getting better and more sophisticated.

I absolutely love this style of guitar play....gets my mind going and evokes imagery. Heady stuff and very well done I might add. I need to stop by this page alot more often! Great job. ~Blake

hey RwK.. thanks for the reivews man.. didn't recognize your reviewing name here but i know it from mixpo.. looked through all 5 pages to find this one which i started playing on your front page.. it is absolutely gorgeous.. ambient rock music with bluesy pink floyd touch.. like my buddy jimbo said.. you are a master guitarist bro.. it's gonna take awhile to hear all your songs but this one sparks the interest.. think you know we are all spread thin around the net now.. looking for a place to call home now that mixpo is gone.. but this place feels and looks great.. got nice reviews from you and your music is on the level that I look for.. so I think this will be home.. top musicians showing each other encouragement and support.. not trying to top virtual charts.. just turning out great pieces/songs and diggin each others work.. next review will be shorter.. i promise.. cheers.. .-)

Yup, I still like it

Great guitar tone on this one, and I love the keys on top of the mix...2 Thumbs up my friend!

Magnificent dual guitar work highlighting the beautiful crisp meaty sounds of one of rock's most under rated axes - the SG.

This feels.... Different to your others Rick.... Different vibe.... Different atmosphere... Even slight difference to the sG as well,much more sustain... Beautifuly done,the dual leads were excellent. Crystal clear production and a really good "Band" sound... Makes me want to get back to doing instrumentals again... Guitar is simply beautiful mate. Nigel.

wailing, guitars...Just too gorgeous...A real classy tune that I`m happy to be listening to..You make it all sound so easy....hummm......Beautiful, truely... Luv n hugs Mags xx :-)

decided to jam out with ya on that SG--sweet playing--you tell a story with precision---most tasty work--im a fan rick--for some time now!!! mark

Bingo,, with that initial riff guitar hook in this track. It very effectively obtained my interest at the beggining of the track. at 2:20,, i further noticed things happening in a particularly good sound to my tastes.

Ok man,this is the sh!t ! Love those harmonized leads,and that classic Class-A tube amp tone that drives that guitar into the upper atmosphere. Glorious tone brother,you have that guitar singing ...I can almost hear the words.Heavy. Peace, Tsargoth

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!! SOUL FOR DAYS MAN! YOU RAWK! DACE>

It also could be a song for a movie because it is a great atmosphere in. Wonderful guitar playing - I wished that am also able to play good my guitars. But they are waiting of me ... and I do not touch my guitars. Best wishes from Inge

a perfectly song, the intro are very cool and the guitar touched the soul. A very great song to close the eyes and fly away. Congartulations for this fantastic work.

As stated by Dazed, you do have a real signature sound. Your playing and song content are very emotional and very soulfull. Nice work!

Outstanding work with the harmonizing guitar tracks.Beautifully crafted song,Very tight and the chord proggressions are top-notch. Rick... you should be proud !

what a catchy lead lick--theme lick--very cool and then it just soars melodicly--weaving and then harmonizing--sooh cool--dig your guitar work-big time!!!! mark

I really like this one.. love your guitars.. these call from afar.. sustaining to the dark side of the moon man.. your playing has so much passion.. inspired melodies and solos.. man reap you make me miss my SG.. what a sound.. :-) loved thosed harmonized guitars in the last section.. and jazz piano chords on the fade.. great piece.. :-)

I really am a fan of your fine music, love that haunting guitar (great sustain) another well mixed and mastered track. great listen.

signature reaper tone! you get amazing sound from your sg and your fingers. Impressive track Rick. The solos just sing.

Very Kool sound , This is the kinda stuff I like to play to Nice and Melodic Nice Job , and Thanks

ahh, I see.....These were the words on your blog...Hitting home so much more deeply than the printed word...The music`s perfect for these lyrics, which are sung with a "Floydish touch", very nice..This is what I call great composition and collaboration...Love the guitar solos... Peace n love mags

Love the guitar playing, such a neat repeating riff at the start. Can envision a colourful atmosphere with all the fine chosen elements, -the piano is a welcome sound; cool percussive sounds, some quite subtle tinkling;spacey sounds... Gabriel -great vocal tone to this arrangement and you flow well through the lyrical journey - well composed, amazing full sound that is very enjoyable. EXCELLENT production and sound mix. Well done; good chemistry. FAB tune indeed. Thanks for the pleasure guys. -Vesa

I'm late.. but i can say this one sounds great.. your guitar is singing and crying rick.. meaningful lyrics and heartfelt sing is clear to hear.. but that guitar is just too beautiful and sad.. gabe put some lovely pads and synth sounds to it.. but this is your song and your guitar says it so strong.. great stuff reaper.. :-)

Great Find! Rick, after hanging out with you at SNR last night, I thought I HAD to stop by and check out your music. Well, what can I say. Wonderful guitar tones throughout the song, great riffs and licks. And since I've just listened to some of Gabriel's stuff I was curious to hear this collab. Great, esotheric vocals meet fascinating musical sounds. Love the landscape of the whole song, great mix. I'll be back! :-) Heinz.

I've heard this track a number of times on Mike K's SNR show but just realised I hadn't got around to reviewing it. Sensational mix of talents. Lovely wash of keys give the foundation for some of Rick's best work. Beautifully fluid solo work. The tone just makes me so much happier to have got my old SG back. Lovely melody and Rick does a great job on the vocals. Superb piece of work. Cheers Brian

Aw Rick....man. Truly inspiring. The flow of the song and progression used is flat out gorgeous. Your voice and vocal line so damn pleasing. And some of those lead notes, played in sequence with your phrasing...WOW. So sweet, so complete. You gotta be loving this. I do for sure. It's serene, beautiful, introspective...a great sound painting. Of course Gabriel's atmospherics and subtle piano add great hues to the scene. Just TERRIFIC. I'm inspired now. ~Blake

It is not easy to do a soft or progressive rock, I tried that and failed miserably. The main melody is the heart of a rock, the listenser will remember a song with beautiful melodric line like this one. And most importantly, the lyrics should protrait a storyline way too difficult to forget. A love story is the most suitable passion a rock should consider and I found them all here. Hey Rick, you just got me hooked on this progressive rock stuff, maybe I should go back and revise my rock track then. LOL! With million of love from Singapore. Piperon

This song sounds great! It flows really well. The guitar solos are thoughtful melodies. And the production is outstanding!

Positive vibes surround this song. The message and the music meld ... superb guitar work weaves through the solid backing tracks, while the sincere clarity of the vocals reinforces the positive message. Another mighty fine song, my friend.

This is the first time i've ever got my butt over to RWK's music- now i'm discovering what ive been missing-- splendid artistic creation in sonic sculpture. !

Aaaah...this is the track I heard the other night! I LOVE this!!! Is this you on vox, Rick? Great job!!! The guitar work is mezmerizing... The arrangement and production are beautiful. GREAT work guys! Love it!!! *****

Rick and Gabe-- this is an outstanding piece. I am so impressed with your work together-- and alone, too. But oh my-- how the heck do you beat this? Can't wait for the new one coming out Gabe-- with the all-star cast. You both should be darned proud! Gina

Ah.... Relaxes... In safe hands... Excellent collab guys. Oozing class. VERY deep lyrics,I like lyrics that make me think... Superb arangement. Gabriel is a master of epic,lush soundscapes. Flawless musicanship,and a whole palette full of emotion. IMHO,your playing and sound has never been better Rick. It feels as though it has found it's own space,and now it can be all that it dreamed of being,setting you free in the process. Yes,gents,this is a solid gold classic. Class work! Nigel.

Great guitar work Rick and just as smooth as ever! Lovely synth back ground Gabriel.... just so light, airy, and perfectly fitting. Rick this is a tough song to sing and you did it well! Farrell

Rick, you can make that guitar weep, moan and cook breakfast. Your vocals on this are exceptionally fantastic, as well. Nice to hear you and Gabriel together again. Gabriel adds a great orchestral sweep to that already wonderfully melodic theme you have sweeping through the speakers here. Peace, Jim

I always love your guitar leads. They cry with emotional expression. Thanks. Dave Deal

This is nice work guys....wooo. composition behind the SG is that of a film soundtrack(Gabes the man with the sounds!)..just fills the room here. Ric's solo'n with the SG is always something i look forward to listening. The vocal work comes across well with the the many harmonies...the message is delivered. Very well written work Ric & Gabe! enjoyed this. thanks

This song was a lot of fun to do and extremely well written. Thanks for inviting me Rick !!!

Ya'll reall hit the nail on the head with this one....Outstanding production and really well performed. Very surreal and dreamy...Smashing!!!!

love the tune reaper! solos were fantastic and melodic as i like them :). Great job on the vox!! We need some more collabs ;)

Rick....This is a solid song. You can actually nurture it into many different directions either into the a much harder metal direction or a softer pop rock feel. That gives alot of potential and a publisher would like that. Its got all the elements

i still think you should sell your house, buy a huge RV and go across country and back. then we,,,i mean you can head to europe. this is so far beyond my reach.wow!!!

Ok...After hearing this I'm going to trade my axe in for a fishing rod or something...It's just incredible what sound quality you got here and...then there's the song of course...A gem

This has quite a nice dream state feel to it.... big sound production fullness and nice vocal effects add to that... then the guitar sound bulsters again the dream like state... as it builds in strength it starts to materialize right between the ears! Nice work!

I just came from Blake's page and now here,and it staggers me how much talent there is here. This flows so smoothly from start to finish. You make it all seem so effotless. Trademark vocals on this one,and the SG is singing,but singing differently once again... Smoother and sustaining forever if needs be. I can well imagine this live as being a show stopper,one that get's extended and extended again to showcase your superb lead work. Excellent work as always Rick. When that sg comes down with the cry baby,it is just blissful. Nigel.

What a wonderful production... Over the last several days, and after the phenominal CSP presentation, I have been "renewed" listening to your music, Reaper... You have such a distinct soulfullness - a spirit - that inspires and moves souls... This is a great track - as are all of your compositions. The production on this track is excellent - don't know if you mix in 'phones...I'm listening on "buds" - and it sounds great. I LOVE your music - and I love the spirit that you offer to us all. Thank you, for sharing your blessing... K

I thought they only made 3-D glasses, but I'm hearing three dimensions (and maybe more) through these headphones right now. What a wonderful, sweeping filling of space and time! Not only have I never heard a "bad" song from you, but I've also never heard even a "bad" note from you. You can't go wrong when the RWK stamp is on the song.

Awesome Piano and percussion blendZ with a surreal/latin atmosphere...on fire with an Ndie/progressive touch of firey guitar solo work and haunting double-up,echoed vocals R protraying a story of beyond, 4 all 2 B-hold... awesome classic "HOT" guitar solo work with loads of back drops tastiful leading 2 a colorful prose section...

Cool sound-- nice vocal atmosphere-- .. in your bio you mention Blue Oyster cult.. to my ears this track seems to echo influences like them- i'm hearing Blue oyster cult in this track alot- my compliments,, shane

This has got a different chord structure thats quite cool. Excellent job producing this, everything is in its right space. Well written track man, love that change at 1:38 and that sustaining guitar is just screaming, great tone there. No easy feat to vocalise with this but you've pulled it off nicely and with some cool riffing, this is a smashing track.

Very catchy guitar lines some great runs , I like he way the guitar and vox work together.

well mixed. I like the reverb/echo on the vocals a lot. guitar sounds nice. and the electric guitar riffs add a nice touch. I like the way the instruments are panned. it does remind me of some 70s bands. I like the double-tracked vocals. I do that a lot too. lyrics are good too. great attention to detail in the mixing. everything fits together well. --Z

What a wonderful soundworld, i like this track very. Great Rock-Pop song with all what a song need. The guitar in combination with the vocals are so good. I like the mix very , a touch of my fav time the 70`s . wonderful work -Sven-

Wow....Like mixing and the production here...sounds very good ! The song has a nice dreamy atmosphere ! Intro is cool and brings in reflections of Jean Luc Ponty"s tune Mirage (from the Enigmatic Voya
