Brilliant, exciting, intoxicating - I don't think I fully appreciated this on the night, but after a few listens I'm completely hooked. The drum track would be amazing enough on its own - so many different timbres, cymbals and interweaving rhythms - but your use of exotic melodies and flute sounds transports the whole thing to the Great Steppes. A masterclass in how to do it, MD!

A Very Wonderful song, Michael and Judie!! This has such an exotic and rich quality to it...I was immediately taken into the realms of the Golden Hordes Tribes...A Truly Magnificent Song.
