massos270 What the hell is this? I grew up listening to Weather Report, Al di Meola, Earth Wind and Fire, Caldera, Chick Corea, Jeff Lorber, all the great jazz, funk, artists. Wow, this music puts a smile on my face. It sounds familiar but not quite. It is absolutely brilliant. Seriously mind blowing. It's witchcraft!

The vanishing point of horizontal veils, Shiver of vibrating stillness in the motion of bending expanse of thought, looking at itself in the vastness of crimson wind. Who is the witness? Who sees these dream-like notions of bumblebees gathering nectar in the raspberry groves of the crimson dreams?

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
