Just like to say a big thank you for creating your best album to date. I honestly can't stop playing it. What a fantastic sounding recording. It's so refreshing to hear something new from you as always and I can wait for your next effort. Keep it up Nick and keep making the video's as well. It's nice to finally see you in action even if it's on the screen. Would love you to visit South Wales for a live show sometime.
What a wonderful chemistry between you, Steve and the other musicians! Like in the good days of old. This is simply asking for more, like a blast of fresh air in troubled atmospheres. Keep it coming, Mr Magnus! Greetz from Brussels.
Such a beautiful melodic sense! But we've known this since "Hammer In the Sa -- oops, never mind that last bit, it's received wisdom by now that that piece was, umm, written by Steve Hackett . . .
People often ask 'who made the videos for the album?' They are the sterling work of TriMedia Enterprises - conceived, directed and edited by the album's lyricist Dick Foster!
Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for all your appreciative comments on these videos! It's really encouraging and greatly appreciated at this end!
I'm very very proud of you my dear old friend Nick;and still dream of working with you in the near future;and very happy you're going awesome works once again.Once again,please keep this experienced Los Angeles lead-rhythm guitarist in mind for any projects...Hey,you took my job on this sweet solo you did on this one Nick!!
God bless Nick and hail from Dale in sunny southern California!
Great memories of you guys with Steve at the Old Waldorf in SF back in the day Spectral mornings, Tigermoth, The Steppes, Clocks, 2 sets of Taurus 1 pedals played by hand, several of you vocoding, the Novatron(s?). You were all working together to weave a spell and it was enchanting, telling stories with and without words.
You've really captured that spirit again with this song, great job! Please come back by the bay area if at all feasible
First I've heard since the Defector Album/Tour (etched in my soul), no burnout factor at all, 50x listens so far and it just keeps growing on me. Deeply enchanting song.
Would be great, and perfectly fitting, to see it used in the "Bean" segment of the upcoming, yet always forestalled, "Ender's Game" movie...
If we're going to make music, why not(implied italics on previous word) try to invoke a sense of something larger? Why shoot for anything less?
its so cool to know -great keyboardists still use mellotron - in this case...nick magnus,and id agree- this track could of been on "spectral mornings"
Great song, infact the entire album is great! love the video... Keep up the good work Nick!

@magicknuns probably because the video is so terrible and unflattering to the performers.

It was indeed played on a keyboard. I blame it all on Jan Hammer :-))
