Amazing track, Al!! Super!! I'm just listening to it and getting great pleasure! It makes me feel perceptible resonance in my heart! Cool groove - it really swings! Maybe it's strange but it seems to me that there's something common with King Crimson's "Thela Hun Gingeet" - I mean just mood but not the "dress" (or form). At least I feel something like that...
Also (as usual for you): that's highly qualified music in all of its aspects... My hat's off...

Very cool intro with the brass and arpeggiated synth and then further on with the B3 and the storyteller in a funky soundscape.
Absolutely love the groovy organ here together with awesome brass.
And the slap-bass-solo too!! Like the unortodox percussion which almost sounds like a whip with long reverbtale.
Well delivered my friend!

Hi Al,
Musician ship par excellence on display again. I love the bass sound you get. Always a kick. I am not a big fan of spoken word but your music is top notch and lyrics were very good. Actually think you could come up with a nice melody on this track for them. But.. as always you really shine!

Captivating track - the music has so many elements, tones, textures and variations to enjoy. All wrapped up in a superbly arranged and performed track. The lyrics and spoken words were intriguing and appealing - I was fascinated to know more about what they had to say. Very unusual and brilliantly creative.

Can one combine Philosophy with music. I read the words first and i thought not. But then i listened and i said yes. For sure. The doors did something like this in 1970 with A poet named Burroughs -- Everybody in. Excellent job.

Very cool track Al. I've seen a video or two by NLJ on YT. Your adds and mix make it top shelf all the way!

It's starting in your style, Funk with a lot of electronica sounds mixed. Think that mixture is bringing an atmosphere you can't find anywhere else.
I like the way you are taking your time at the intro, very slowly developing and introducing the "players" and effects.
1:12: The "talker" comes in, an urban influence. Beautiful voice and very poetical lyrics. And while he is talking you are just continuing your play.
Around 3:20 it's getting more quiet and we are waiting for the next lyrics to come. The fantastic bass is coming in front.
Very clever key change at 3:33, bringing just that "Swung". And the next clever element is that you change it back the moment the talker is coming back.
It's getting more spacey at the end when the piano is coming in. "Time Space Time Space...." I really think we are flying. Wow! What kind of ending!
This is a track I really have to listen to more times to enjoy the lots of elements you two have put into this track. There is such a perf

Man you always and I mean always slay me Al. Wow this track is awesome. Complex, multilayered, great rhythmic elements. Ascenzion horns are back! The bass, guitar & B3 tracks are smookin'. Great arrangement. Written by “None like Joshua", okay, but who is doing the the very cool sounding vocals? The Professor laying it down!

A new ( and I mean it ) musical work from your hand Al!!!
I always recognize your fantastic attitude in arrangements / composition and the use of absolutely great instrumentations ( I am speaking about the B3/Rythm Guitar/Brass ensemble). The backing track´s intro in best Al Massey manner, extraordinary riffs with an exceptional (slap)bass lines. Then the vocals, spoken words of a modern lyric ( author None like Joshua). An original idea indeed, I had never expected coming from you, a surprise for me. Original as the slap bass solo break at about 3:15 followed by the outstanding jazzy sounding B3 and the brass spots.
It is a new experience you brought to me, was a good and fresh idea, really interesting, I gratulate to another excellent music tune you so kindly shared with us!! :)
Cheers to the music Al! :)
PS: the more I listen to, the more I like this new work Al!!!!!
Great track! Really like the groove and that driving bass line! Another excellent and creative production!
