Great stuff. After hearing it for first time in years, clicked RP's link to Amazon and bought my own copy of CD. Thanks for the reintroduction to tunes long ago forgotten.

never heard this before, sounds great, thanks.  I like repetitive trance etc etc however this sounds fresher to my ears than some contemporary stuff - like the fusion elements

It is a bit...relaxed...but I'm in a more tolerant mood tonight than the last time I heard this, when I invited a fellow listener to put his LP on the fire. 

Reminds me of "White Bird" by It's a Beautiful Day this time around...a temporary reprieve from the "3" I gave it.

this would appear to be one of those classic time and place songs.  i wasn't there, I wasn't alive and I hadn't dropped a few tabs either. 

so i'm sorry to those who "were and did" but to me it sounds like a rambling shambles of mediocrity.  as an aside it should be criminal to advocate any song which features seagulls

Wow, taking me back to the early 70s. Reminds me to ask: do you have Gilbert Street by Sweet Thursday (same era)?

Great tune. I would also give a vote for "What Am I Living For?"
 
I would certainly second that emotion.

Ah, yes. Wore this one out before I did my 9 month, never-comin-back, find-myself tour of Europe, Morocco & Israel. And yes, I'm rollin' another one right now...great to hear this awesome, all too forgotten classic!

Wowww, what a nice mellow trip. Never heard this song in all my years ... and I bet I never would've if not for Radio Paradise. Well done, RP. Well done.

I gotta give it a 10. It's a masterpiece. Granted it's 10 minutes long, but so many wonderful things going on there. Thanks for turning us on this lost gem.

Oh ... and sorry about the "squeeking thing".
