As always, I'm really enjoying what you guys are doing. I love the warm sound that you can only get with real instruments and proper analogue synths. All the playing is top notch and very groovy. I particularly like the sax and flute but I still can't get over the fact that you guys have AN ACTUAL MELLOTRON on there. Sounds fantastic!
"Round & Round" has a great intro and I really dig the guitar solo, but seems to end too quickly. Was this intentional or is there more to come? Just feels like the ideas could have been developed a bit more.
"Where Did You Go?" is awesome, very nice Canterbury vibe about it. Wearing your Gong influence on your sleeves, it seems, but without being derivative. Special mention to the bass playing on this track, it's great stuff. Richard Sinclair would be proud.
Keep up the good work, guys. Aberdeen needs you.
PS. Have you guys heard "Space Shanty" by Khan? It's the album that Steve Hillage recorded with Dave Stewart before he joined Gong. I think you would really get a kick out of it.
