Some serious funk going on here Zak. Great chops and well just killer. The mix and production is 1st class. Excellent Zak.

Hey Zak, thanks mate and agree re; bad cat status for Adrian - first came across him with Bowie in the 70’s and then his work with Talking Heads on their brilliant ‘remain in light’ Lp (early 80’s) He’s a great guitarist for sure as you are too. Have a great day!

Hi, GEE... Thanks for listening, and your comments. Much appreciated!
Never heard of BELEW, until you mentioned him. - So i googled him to check him out.
Found a LIVE video of of him with BOWIE from '78 playing STAY. Plus... in Tokyo, '90 (NICE).
And, another video of him LIVE with KING CRIMSON playing "Thela Hun Ginjeet" in '81.
Really loved this one... great "rhythmic sense" and creative use of guitar feedback!
I'm not there, yet... but he's a BAD cat! - Thanks for turning me onto him.

Very tasteful and delicate jazz vibes here! Toe tapping and head bopping going on. This is really first class, both the playing and the production!

Funky Progrock at its best! Such great playing and great themes! It surely is well put together and every detail is perfect.

Yeah, Herbie so cool mate as is this new track of yours - it’s pure real deal funk from beginning to end and the inspiration from the fellas you cite is loud snd clear - mate you are like a smoother and more melodic version of Sly Stone! Love it Zak, great work!
