I do love oriental sounding music. This is quite dreamy and very nicely done.

Excellent.

Fascinating sounds!

haunting.

Norm's percussions were very inspiring, and your playing blends in so smoothly, a delicious piece, very creative, with lots of images from Sahrzad palace..

this hit me as simply beautiful, first time i've heard it back at tis. and it hasn't changed a bit, since then. the marriage of the flute and the guitar is so moving..

Fantastic song.

really takes on an Flyodish feel ( animals?) around 130

I like the Moody Blues sounding wind on this. Very cool.

Ha ha, you got it in and we get the juicey details.

Awesome production.

Ah, that's cool!

less is more! Beautiful

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.

Very cool!

Excellent! It's great to hear you back on the keys - I've missed it.

Slinks along wonderfully!

That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places... Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.

oooh, that's FN pretty!

love the FM synth sounding lines!

Beautiful and serene

very dreamy lovely song!

I'm not familiar with the original - this version is absolutely touching though!

sweet sound and great playing!

wow you ARE pink floyd! This is a out take from Ummagumma right?

Beautiful!!Great work here!

my dad at one time helped with a radio show - if I remember correctly Tilden High School in Chicago had a radio transmitter. This would have come from there. My son traced this back to about 1923. My father tended to bring things home from where he worked, etc. He even brought home, as far as I could tell, the entire Data General railroad traffic controlling computer - vintage early 70's - the programs were loaded via punched paper tapes - when it got replaced. And no, it wasn't used on this piece. Ben has it. But at 1000 Hz he should be able to get it work if he feeds it the right kind of electricity.

I love the floating feel this has.

also - you have an astounding memory!

Ha - this riff is mine? I sure don't remember it - now I feel embarrassed about my comment :-)

excellent! I love the opening guitar riff and cool ending!

Nailed Tom's voice!

Very Tom Waits - love it!

wow your voice sounds so like the Kinks!

love your voice here!

I found my answer "These pieces are recorded live in my home studio. They are made with an electric guitar played through a laptop and a dedicated hardware looper."

What do you have in your ambient rig? I am enjoying your work!

Hi Bethan - I have no idea who played it - but they did an excellent job. The midi file I found somewhere in the 90's.
