love the echoey/spavey guitar-tick-tock sound, and the entire moodscape in the beginning totally draws me-sucks me in...vocals are a trip! Twisted and sick...
Building tension...lovin it immensely...and then BAM! power chord hits me in the face!!!!BAM!! BAM!!
Lots goin on here...
this probably has the power to alter ones' mind...but a little Peyote wouldn't hurt right now, either...

Experimental paradise, is where the masses of chaotic recordings mingle to create this incredible transportation device. I'm totally taken away, I can't even think of a sound close to this. The lyrics are genius. The vocals are such a treat and honestly boasts a enchanted dark quality. The array of vocal mixing, creates the effect of a person walking around to the different corners of ones head and speaking aloud. What an extraordinary project. The music progression is handled very well. I personally favor the guitars and electronic effects. The background pads create a wonderful fog. This is a top, top top TOP creation. Awesome job guys!

I listened to this with headphones... So the vox panning was completely tripping me out. The vocalist seems to be out of key at parts (not sure if this is planned or not, but if it is)... A little polish is needed, I won't lie.  The acid-trip atmosphere of the music is quite... Spavey (thanks Bill  ) Quite an interesting journey I had while listening to this song.

I get this Peter Gabriel vibe.... kewl.... All of the textural work is slick. The in and out - the trip nature of it......
Only 2 things really I hear differently – one is the early vocals are a little dry.... some type of time delayed effect (reverb, delay) - just a little for presence, and make them a little hotter in the mix.
The other is to add an underlying pulse, I like the free form aspect - but after a while it starts to lose momentum and meander. Which in and of itself is not a bad thing but about 4 minutes in of a 7 minute piece - I start looking for something solid...
However - the experimental nature of this is very kewl..... Van, this is an interesting direction you are taking musically. Very forward thinking artistically hip, and my brother you do it well. Mux, Kingo well done.
Kewl Piece – Good Job

The meandering makes the piece, imho... Holy shit this just kicks so much ass. The best collabs always happen when you hear bits and pieces of all the participants, but they come toegether to form something elser. lol... I can't believe I never stumbled on SGC sooner... sorry no technical commentry this go round, I'm just taking this in and let it kick my mind around. awesome fucking song, guys! x 1,000

I think you should make a little stamp that says your name and put it all over fruit in the grocery store and all over magazines and all over car windows...you are BRILLIANT people. BRILLIANT.
I'm particularly fond of the tape stretching sound in this song. The guitar playing and the effects are Relicious! Keyboards: awesome. Everything: awesomest.
All your stuff is just so amazing...CD? You make CD? Please?

Relicious and spavey.
This song is just so mellow and awesome.
I agree. This song totally needs a complimentary dose of peyote.
But not ayawaska. That stuff messes you up.
This song. This is the future, today.

If just-post-Genesis-era Peter Gabriel had been even more obsessed with high drama, he might've recorded something like this. Instrumentally (heavy emphasis on the "mentally"), it kind of puts me in mind of Jeff Beck's "Frankie's House" soundtrack but less guitary (you know I'm loving a tune when I start to make up words).
Because I knew who was involved with this one before I heard it, there was the danger that I'd overhype it for myself, spoil the experience. Instead, I found my high expectations met in grand fashion by this shamelessly artsy, well-crafted song.

Oooh Dark! Creepy! Mind Blowing! I love the way this has been recorded the sounds, especially the vocals are bouncing off my wall The sounds tho..DAMN! The mixture of textures on this thing that should not be (or maybe it should) are just stunning and genius! This is like a beautiful piece of abstract art that just begs for attention.
Wonderful all of you!

I am feeling sypathetic ham pain when those drums kick in. So free in the beginning. The muted phased scratch guitar is great, kinda makes me think of a marimba played with soft mallets. The way the vocals are panned makes me feel like I'm strapped in a chair, with the loose cannon cop on one side, and the much more loose cannon cop on the other, circling around me trying to decide what exactly they're gonna do next.

Superb production,
Great despair and emotional release surface to the top of this electronic soundscape...
thye vox seem very inspired by Roger Waters (which to me is just brilliant...!)
the robotic keyboards toward the end really put you in the vast solitude of the upper atmosphere...

Cool intro---love the marimba sounding chunking---floating around in there---Awesome vocals Kingo---you are all over the sound stage man---I can’t keep track of ya! Didn’t expect that heaviness there at 2:29 and a little whammy bar happening I think---HOLY MUTANT VOCALS BATMAN! Totally far out stuff happening--- a little disconcerting-very trippy!!!! Interesting blend of clean and distorted textures. Can I come down now? Who has the Thorazine? What a journey fellas!!!!!!

Those wicked fuzzy opening pads are definitely awesome (props Van!). They work so well at setting that detached nightmare landscape for the rest of the song to travel across.
Vocals get the job done, and the occasional whacky panning was just enough to push this over the edge into a graceful, slow-motion freefall that has the added benefit of making us all feel a little weightless.
 The rabid, muffled monologue going on around 6:00ish is really freaking me out, and I'm more than a little glad I can't understand what's being said: it gives me the option to tell myself it's not a human being making those sounds!
Scary, masterful, and hallucinagenic as always. Really creative, guys!

Amazing escape from the introduction.
Super-interesting song, I like the improvisational aspect of it a lot.

The intro is awesome.. No other way to describe it: perfect blend of synth and the muted guitar that enters. The voice doesn't grab me as much
But as the effects start to kick in on it, I'm sucked in.
Cool idea about the sudden drum hit, maybe I'd prefered a more "unnatural" alternative in the sounds though, I seem to want to come even deeper inside this surreal house, and the acoustic drumkit, at first, becomes more of a retero feature for me (no mistake: it's cool though, "retero" like listening to a free form/prog band band from the 70's) than something that really kicks on the building unnatural feeling that precedes its enterance.
I also would like to echo Gene's opinion about the structure.. It feels like there should be something more entering in the song: maybe just a more definate melody, which does not have to be long (and which could enter a while after the drums enter) but which exists there in the tune, to make the once again, more chaotic, suspensefull ending become more effective for those qualities.
Interesting, impressively ambient, rich of ideas. This is original and great

what creativity...

The percussion and noises in the background a cool. This is my favoiurite of your tracks I think. It's got this horrible about-to-explode quality which isn't unpleasant - quite floydy (but then I like pink floyd) Drums have come in, exploding but not quite as violently as I would've expected - this would be the point I'd expect a pulse to appear, but one doesn't, which is still cool. The guitars sound like they're dying. The percussion now sounds radioheady, like There There. Argh. The reverbed and delayed guitar is now VERY floydy. Tuned percussion is back. Monologue. Awesome. Sounds like Kingo's dying. The production is out of this world.
