I'm in love with Sput's swing groove. Delicious. If his chops were a food, i would be obese

[@StewartGartland]

This is great and really shows off the stunning talents of Sput. I don't think I have ever had a chance to see him play with such a diverse suite of sounds and styles on one tune.

[@vic9844]

Stewart Gartland Yeah he has been great at coming up with all of these creative ways to play these rhythms and has become one of my favorite drummers. And Bill's feel on the keys is just crazy

[@kellynkarr]

And to top it off, he doesn't limit himself to left, right, open, or closed. He's completely unbiased in his playing style. It's incredible how it unlocks his progression.

[@ayuttaya.ambient]

Bill Laurence's music and his musicians all tell many stories in their compositions and playing. And everything gels together.

[@TheLolwhat123]

Absolutely amazing. This is equivalent to a double rainbow.

[@Mauplaya1227]

YEEESSSS!!! This has kind of an old jazz feel, while being super trippy in all, and I do mean ALL, the right ways. Mr. Laurance making waves yet again.

[@erikcebokli9585]

Jesus christ this must be the best tune I've ever heard so far honestly and I've heard thousands. What a composition! Everything in here makes perfect sense and that moogish Michael League-ization is baaaaad f'in ass!! Almost broke my seat there.

[@TheFlomboy]

This album is just absolutely amazing! :)

[@MrBretowsky]

Some really fucked up shivers going on my arms and spine right now...

[@TheDonnyPittsCode]

This is the jam! On of my favorite tracks on the album.

[@ulrichgamingandmusic]

Michael's basslines are just heavenly, insanly funky, crisp, smooth, just gorgeous music overall ♥

[@smithjoseph5556]

the beginning was my favorite part with Bill's incredible talent on the piano and I'm trying to learn it but it's taking forever if only I had some extra help from anybody who got more experience on the piano than me

[@blockhax6146]

Smith Joseph haha, that's what teachers are for! ask around a bit see if you can get a couple of lessons for a bit and then you'll know if you want to continue

[@eloc6167]
