Don't mind the sound quality, i have listened to a lot of reel to reel, and all of my begining recordings were done on a 4 track cassette recorder. Glad you posted this one. I'm digging it. Agree with Sis, about the 7 min mark it really starts to come together...;)

Progtastic!
Love the whirling intro of the first track, and was gonna request breaking these gems down, but by 7 minutes I threw out that notion - the flow is awesome! The dreamy track at around 9 mins is just gorgeous! Lovely harmonies.
Great musicianship, awesome writing!

one of my fav moody's songs.
it would have turned out far better if i had a melotron. (i wish!) this is an ecological song.

Comments on vaisvil's stuff
Percussion is Ace! love the harmonies that follow.
My favorite parts are when you drop back into 6/8 meter like at 20 mins.
*holds up lit lighter* You + Mike = always great.
That vocal sounds like your playing it on the guitar excellent
Oh yeah, I dig it, bro! I love the intelligence you put into your tracks.
sweet guitar work vaisvil!
One of those "wow wish I'd done that" tunes. Excellent guitar work and conception!
Wow- great piece of work. Love that processed vocal!
well done,,, very pretty
What an interesting, if not somewhat sad, story about a poet I had never heard of. I love your bass work here.
reminds me of a mixture of such a variety of songs.
Very quite and nice...
/me smiles that wistful old man smile Good times.
