It's so interesting to hear a sample of your early work Sean. What stands out for me is the tightness of this rehearsal, the whole performance has a real pro feel, tutored or not, you young guys had music in your veins, excellent work and a late rate from me...

Just listening to this song again, its incredible how good you all sound especially given your age at the time. By the way, we also did a part 2&3 to restless dreamer, but not as long luckily lol. Cheers :)

Thanks Sean. We both played lead guitar, but Keith did mtheist of the lead and the long solo part. Darren :)

15? More than a wonderful touch of Rick Wakeman and his wonderful themed albums...a superb track displaying a crazy amount of maturity and musical ability way beyond my abilities. Fantastic!

Good track. I like your style. It's so experimental and interesting.

Glad that you are digging up the archives and showing us a little of the musical journey that is so vital to understanding who you are ...the first public performance...1983...what better stage than your own high school! Any recording offers after this? Agents offering services? Rock stars in 1983! Thanks for sharing the moment of fame. The emotions of this seem carved into the recording you have offered. Amazing tune, and such highly skilled musicians. Ah...nostalgia :)

Astonishing track - 15 years old? I hardly can't believe it! Spacey intro with a slightly (melancholy) Irish touch and much suspension, (a bit threatening) tension in it. Cool how the hihat and the drums sneak in. Intense, dense, heavy and even dramatic sound then. Kind of epic too. The explosion of the Nova? Like its rhythm very much. (Would it work with strings too (instead of the guitar) and a flute in the intro?, I'm pondering.. tremolo strings for the suspension, timpanis to lay emphasis on the groove? :-)) Impressive composition and co-working, Sean.

Again...a bit of a surprise here. Its good to remember these shows/gigs from our past. Yes a real prog-rocker too. Im getting a picture of some flamboyant musical theatre like in a Lloyd-Weber style? Scantily-clad-nubile dancers.... :-) Some stylish guitar going on there Sean! Just age 15 Wow! k

Very cool track Sean. It's really amazing the direction you took in music. This really rocked my socks off :) Peace Eric

This sounds amazing Sean.Especially given your age..great imagination. Sounds like it was recorded by much older musicians. Brilliant performance all round. I love a bit of Prog-Rock. Has a theatrical style to it. :)

Certainly tighter and more refined, having another listen. Dance of the Giants my favorite of the two older bits you've posted so far, might have to drift back by there next :)

Hi Sean, I agree with Andrew, this is a remarkable piece for a trio of young lads. I guess you're on guitar. Prog Rock had fallen out of fashion by 1983, yet you guys play with great enthusiasm. I bet your audience at the school went wild. A special mention to the Drummer!

Hi Sean, I really love NOVA, it's a very accomplished and subtle performance, lots of light and shade and intense imagination! Stunning performances for persons of such young ages (15 years old!) Really stunning and likeable Prog-Rock, from the vaults! Cheers, Andrew
