epic 20 min recording. Anyone who played in the 80's can see though the familiar low-fi tape contribution. Its almost, nostalgically better in a way...love the change ups at 5:20 - 6:10 etc.

Beautifully dark and mysterious that then explodes into barely contained chaos that ends in a plaintive song of longing. That's how I hear this. Wonderful piece Ben!

Nice intro-45 seconds-nice! Simply great~
Wild.

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.
