Crazy It's crazy how each musician interprets music in their own special way. Tobin warned me that he was going to reorganized my guitar into different measures of the song and I found it to be quite pleasant. It's different when your face to face and able to communicate real time. I do think this came out well and appreciate the opportunity to be included in one of the great Tobin Mueller songs. This song has a real cool groove and was my pick of three. Great Job Tobin. |

fusion Hey! This is great! Great song! Very smooth composition. Tobin, your voice is VERY good! Man, very nice. Guitars all sweet. They fit very well. I like the fusion progression and overall feel. Sax solo smokes, no question there! Great work! Congrats on a top-notch piece. Again, your voice has tremendous character here. |

Crazy! Texasfeel- It must be crazy hard to play lead along with one of Tobin's songs! You never know where it is going. (At least I certainly don't...!) You sounded great. Tobin- This song is a fun ride. This is "looser" as some have called it. Nice collab. |

I'm amazed ...by the complexity of your songs Tobin, and still you make them float naturally. As I been looking a bit closer at some of your work lately, I discover the rhythm patterns and bass figures that really is a place for a novice to get lost in;) Texasfeel has cracked the code and managed to make music along your track. And what a great sax solo. Very professional all together. Thanks to ka-klick for encouraging to a lowered shoulder setting on this:) And for those of you that still haven't ordered Tobins CD "Morning Whispers". Get it here before it gets sold out... |

I don't quite know how to say it, but The high level musicianship here amazes me. Clearly all of the players are highly skilled and of the most astute of muscians. Tom, your singing is velvet smooth and it takes more training and courage than I could ever be present for. I am in envey of this... But this is where you guys are going to kill me - As I was listening, I kept hitting my Itunes pause botton, because it sounded as though two or three songs were being played at one time. Things were in the pocket here definintely, it just sounded as though they were all different pockets. For going on thirty years now, I have listened to alot of jazz and I understand and have heard all types of dissonatnce, but this is not like any that I've heard. I kept waiting for things to settle into a more comfortable place, that sweet carrot that dissonant pieces have you on seats edge in anticipation for, but it never quite made it there enough for me. I'm always oepen to learning and It may be that I am about to learn something here, please help me to know what it is that I am to know... Meanwhile, I will listen later to see if maybe I am having a bad day. If so, I will come back and negate the unfavorable aspect of my comments as I feel that it would be unfair me if I didn't. Thank you guys for your hard work and for being willing to share this. Truly, Dion |

Words from wine Excellent song... your voice sounds very loose on this track, Tobin...must have been red wine :) John- excellent and tasteful playing. Great work, both! |

Another level 3 levels. On the first level, I fly along with you and its just fun, I sprout wings and everything delights because I don't need it to make sense, I'm flying. Second level, I get lost, sloshing around trying to find the beat, loosing my Zen. Third level, after a listen or two, the beat is infused, maybe its more like what it was for Texasfeel after studying it a while, and it coalesces like a crystal from some other planet, and I shiver, digging it too much. My fav part has to be those vocal harmonies in the "wanting more" section. Stream of consciousness is an understatement, man. And you said you improved this? Wo. Red wine, for sure. |

love that b sec changeup. very nice......lovely vibrato to your voice..... i like the looseness of this...... the harmonic content is outstanding. like the best gordon sumner could have ever writen. that soprano sax just kicks. the phrasing is unbelievable...... love the ending on the iv. justso many things goin' on with this. |

Like I was saying... ... when we were talking, this piece so much reminded me of some fairly recent Bowie works. You have a knack for musically telling a story and drawing in your listener with great depth of musical layers. Your production is always top notch... and the guitar playing was great, it's too bad I had to turn this piece down. There's lots of space for lots of great guitar playing. Another success Tobin! |

A great song It's all good, but the soprano sax at the end really puts it over the top. Way to go, guys. |

Thick man, thick! The musicianship is beyond me, especially the "tone poem morphology" aspect! I will say that every instrument undeniably supports the narrative voice throughout. The performances are inspired. Complex (I love the rhythmic juxtapositions), but very expressive and human. Man. This is layered! The blues infusion is terribly addictive. Wonderful phrases. I call foul! This is too much good music to sqeeze into any one song! |

Cool So when are you performing this in a club? Or at least an open mic night... |

Nice The instrumental has a real Booker T. Jones feel to it, whereas the lyrics take a much more ambient turn. Not at all a bad combination. |

A world alive A total mess of sounds that all make sense. What a trip. |

. Such a marvelous musical bed ..... could be incredible but it needs melody. Some of the vocal lines could be developed further. Stream of consiousness or not this deserves a real melody. I think this is my favourite keyboard playing by you, solid guitar playing in sections. Tremendous sax as well. I hope you revisit this with a strongly developed melody otherwise this is just disjointed musical meandering slapped over an exceptional backing track. |
All around our little village this morning, there were broken tree
branches, along with various other bits of debris in the wake of a
nasty, overnight storm. The winds continue to blow as I listen to this
tune, which captures an episode and its resulting questions as well as
any I've heard.
Musically, it took me back to The Village Gate in the late '70s, perhaps
on a night where Freddy Robinson or Clifford Solomon stopped by.
There is a somewhat disconcerting synth voice in the opening section
that might be worth another look. Then again, that may be the glue
that binds the unique mood of the piece in the first place. Just a
thought.
An excellent work that wears the Fusion label like a Silver Star.
