Sorta feels like an unused track out of "Topgun" hope you take that as a compliment it's meant to be !!!
Brilliant.

Fantastic guitar playing Michael, all the picked notes sounds very clear and articulated, Killer legato work as well. :)
Also, really nice and interesting backingtrack. The xylophone and piano sounds great, and so does the drums and fx.
Excellent work!

So much character coming through in those guitar lines. Inventive, fun, melodic, and with some seriously impressive shreddage to boot. The production is outstanding, dramatic sounds with everything clear and punchy.

This a very interesting track. Tubular Bells intro meets...I'm not sure what, but it is a bad a*s six string slinger! Love the piano/synth melodies, especially starting at the 2:12 mark on, and the great backing track. It's nice to hear you stretch on the guitar Michael - very nice. Kind of a robot rumba.

first of all, love the title. the 'exorcist'-like keyboard sets the tone but the guitar just nails it. the minor tone gives it both power and mystery. very strong piece

Nice sounds you are getting out of the Carvin and the Roland GR-55 Your guitar playing sounds great and really stands out very well in this mix! The Xylophone sounds and piano really sound nice and open in this. Very very nice noise!

Robot scene 2 :D Cool idea with the xylophone / piano keys behind your killer riffs. Has an island feel, then again with an industrial edge. Excellent!
