Pink Floyd in outer space!
-------------------------------------
Honors the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light and of peace
A timeless space experience
Sonics for healing
Sounds from the ambient frontier
Ethereal music
Self-reflective, calm sound-scapes
Transcendental music
An eternity of endless space
Experience the transcendent unity of all things
From a withered tree, a flower blooms
To a mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders
And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time
Enlightenment is like the moon reflected on the water, the moon does not get wet, nor is the water broken. Although the light is wide and great, the moon is reflected even in a puddle an inch wide, the whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass

...very unusual vibrations ... lovely sonick experience, spanning the aural spheres ... perhaps from Neptune in either sense of possible entities?

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates. " - - - The Kybalion
Hey guys. Just droppin in to say In the Bed of Grace is a cool piece and a good addition to your sound. Best of luck and hope all goes well with your shows. - James
Thanks for being our friend, Brother Iota! What a great name; we are brothers of cosmic rock, that's for sure. If we cross paths we are certainly going to have to play on the same stage, and even jam together. That would be a psychedelic event!
