This is sweet. Haven't got Hybridism, so getting these via ocremix is great. The messy little intro really screws up this listener's expectations before the track goes into what I by now associate with and assume permeates Hybridism, if not RO. Love the scratches and and stuff, especially those around 2:02.

Yeah, the piano slurs the intro pretty badly. But thankfully, it's just a few seconds. What follows is tight. Plenty good. I like the alternation between busier, lead-filled sections and more mellow, laid-back ones. This doesn't quite blow through the roof for me (yet, more listens might open it up more), but it's near, and it's very enjoyable, and it's making me groove..

Anyway, I can understand why the piano would be a little skittish for the intro, but that can be overlooked for what comes after.
This isn't just any lounge/jazz music though; its full of caffeine giving it a very nice jittery, upbeat, energetic vibe going on.

On a related note, I was confused for a few seconds, but in the actual album this track is listed as "Higher than the Sun."

What's wrong with the intro? Sounds perfectly fine to me.

Haha I can see why people are criting the intro but honestly, its the nittiest of nit-picks and not a problem for me.

I'm loving it, sounds awesome, like your other stuff
your public demands more

re: intro. The timing of the piano is a little off. I double-checked, and curiously it sounds fine on laptop speakers, but quite offensive on headphones. It's a nitpick, yes, but it's also the first thing one hears when pressing play. It wasn't the greatest first impression.

That out of the way, let me reiterate that this is one fiiiiiiine track.

This is sooo good.

The intro is just stunningly great.
Awesome background synth filling in.

A little Jamiroquai string arrangement it sounds like. Good job on those.

Awesome track.
Highly recommended I say. Get itz!

Anthony and Joshua are still amazing at working those solos. It's one thing to just play up and down the scales, but it takes a good ear to make very unique solo where every random note grabs your attention.
