Great work - loved the tune, I thought it sounded really inventive and nicely catchy. Loved your vocals on this one too. Rayc above compared it to Violent Femmes, which I can definitely understand. I'm a huge Violent Femmes man so maybe that's why this tune resonated with me.
Thanks so much for sharing! Thank you,Deryk. I guess I`ll have to listen to that band more to get the connection. I`m happy you liked this! Fantastic lyric well delivered. The musical portions were inspired and the mix, non-standard perhaps, but engaging. As a collaboration, it seems so right as to be inevitable. The chopping cello is a little unusual on a rock tune-I liked the way it went with Americana drums. Thanks for your positive comments. Robert & Scott, this is outstanding. Love your twist of words, and that guitar is sweet. Very intoxicating rhythm!! Thanks, Marty! Very good sound. I don't know how youse guys come up with music like this, but it works. Ed, Our musical sandboxes are very different- we just fling ideas at each other and take a picture of the result! Robert

Not usually my kind of music, prima faciae at least, this ... but THIS really, really does work! I was glued to it from beginning to end ... loved it! I want to hear it yet again :-) Love how it just disappears into the ether at the end ... superb job.

Robert/ Scott
An excellent listen, a nicely constructed piece, with strong complimentary guitar parts.
Enjoyed the lyrics and the vocals, especially the contrast in the high parts to the lows.
Very well done.
Peter Thanks, Peter - I really like Scott`s guitar parts as well! Robert & Scott So unusual, brave and different! Such a cool collaboration! When music started, I thought that I might of clicked the wrong link  Musically, it is pure fun. Experimental, but not abusive to ears. Listens extremely well, even with the "feel" morphing throughout the tune. Loved how Scott's guitars shaped this. Lyrics are very futuristic. More please! Thank you for sharing. Misha. I`m glad we surprised you with that opening,Misha! Thanks for those very positive comments. Robert,
I love when you turn to your Rock side. "Theatrical Rock" is how I think of this - not sure if that is a genre, but it should be (early Genesis, King Crimson, etc). Your lyric style, your melody sense, AND your vocal ALL fit SO well into that niche. Super cool.
Scott's guitar work fits perfectly and adds another signature.
Excellent mix. Excellent music. Cool, cool song!!
fj That`s very kind, Floyd- Thank you!

Hi Robert and Scott,
You made a really cool song! At the start I thought “where is this lead me too”?, with the Americana drums. I expected a didgeridoo to come in (would have liked that as well). I don’t know why I had to think about that instrument, it was just there in my head. But the song developped in such a nice way, reminding me in some way to the kind of (protest)songs made during the Vietnamwar. Everything in your song fits very well and the vocals were impressing.

"Impressions of WestWorld cobbled to a mantra from Paradise Lost, welded to a riff Scott came up with." Well that certainly sets the stage! Man, that first verse grabs you from the get go and you are along for the journey. Dunno know what to call this...not that it matters! Maybe very intelligent and musical folk psychedelia would suffice Wonderful melding of the vocal and guitar performances with the lyric. Different, well done in all aspects and a most enjoyable listen. Carry on you two!!! J&B Thank you, J&B- we plan to do just that; more twisted electro-mantras to come, no doubt! Purple Haze or Window Pane??? Just teasing! This is a wonderful trip!! Love the groove and the texture of the music!! Really interesting lyric!! Take care. Greg Greg, No psycho tropics of any kind were used in this production... the damage was done and quarantined in my songwriting room long ago. Glad you like this. You know a song is good when it has its own "sound" and this is very original. I can hear some influences in there but not pinpoint them - you've really brought them together. Looking forward to more like this. That`s very kind, Ed- we will try to oblige. Robert

Hypnotizing song, has sort of a native American mood. Psychedelic arrangement, Scott's playing is very strong and enjoyable, reminds me of the instrumental rock of the sixties. Effects on the vocal and Scott's guitar work really well.
As a technically oriented person, I like the lyrics very much... very interesting and different... ancient spirit combined with 3D heart and robosapien (I remember buying one for my nephew), makes me think that one day human could be a pure human-made machine, it is right then to ask "am I god or devil". Nice to hear something unique like this, your collaboration shows amazing creativity.

Hans, Funnily enough we have used a didgeridoo on a past song No White Flag( really hard to find a good recording to loop). Thanks for your kind comments. Hypnotizing song, has sort of a native American mood. Psychedelic arrangement, Scott's playing is very strong and enjoyable, reminds me of the instrumental rock of the sixties. Effects on the vocal and Scott's guitar work really well.

Janne I agree Scott plays some tasty lines here! The robo voice effects were fun and hard to balance in the mix. I appreciate your attention to the lyrics and the AI dilema. Thanks for such a thoughtful review. Robert

Liked the urgency in your voice which we don't often get to hear. Had a Haight-Ashbury feel to it that I liked a lot (Jefferson Airplane) Nice work.
