Description : I think Ben (Our resident BringerofDoom) has been rubbing off on me. Wanted to get back to my more technical, proggy side with this one.

It's tempting to over-explain it here. But you know what? I'm not gonna do that. Not going to tell you anything. Maybe except that one of my friends described it as, and I quote: “A Mike Oldfield fever dream.”

An amazing track, one of the best I've heard in a while. Fantastic keyboards, I could see this being used on a modern soundtrack for the movie Metropolis.

Thanks so much man, you are FAR too kind. That being said, I've never seen Metropolis so I have no idea what I'd be soundtracking. Still, I'll take it lol!

Lots of high-energy in this one. Reminds me of an old survival game I used to play. Love it!

Thanks so much Paul! Just realized I hadn't replied to these. I love Pink Floyd so that comparison does me great honour.

Well this was an epic trip and just when I was trying to get to sleep! I was expecting guitars given the talk of prog rock but instead got some rather tasty keys. There's something psychedelic about a hammond organ isn't there? Fine work man, sustains that interest and tension all the way through. Cool percs too.

Hey Chris, thanks so much man! Oddly, I first encountered the Hammond Organ in a rocky-jazz context. So its always had prog associations in my mind but you're right, it's probably the most important instrument of the psychedelic age. Thanks for the encouragement and the listen!

ah, had to put off listening for a couple days. and as this about caps a bout 4 hrs of catching up on the loop, o god damn man i know why i am here. ezekiel’s flaming flying saucers as filmed by werner herzog!!
that bass comin over me at 1.21 conjoined with the organ and drumming, the sequencer and stringpads and strings, the buzzing electronics, the mounting ecstatic bloodthirsty rush, i am a werewolf on the moon.
this is thrilling music, cam.

D*mn, you've outdone even yourself with the imagery this time my friend. "Ezekiel's flaming flying saucers as filmed by Werner Herzog." Never in my wildest imagining would I have come up with that lol.

Thanks so much for the listen Mike, it's always greatly appreciated!

This one is also beautiful.
I see the indians dancing arround the fire together with the riverdancers together as 1 big show lol.

Man, as Wayne said, this has some incredible tension in it, with a great build throughout. I love music that literally takes me somewhere, that touches something deep inside and this one does that for me. While I can hear the Oldfield reference, I think this one is all Cam. What a wonderful journey, thanks for sharing it with all of us. Outstanding work Cam, I hope all is well.

Bear, you are far too kind. But I'm so glad this track made you feel something. I love the intellectual/conceptual side of music but at the end of the day what I love most is music's ability to make me feel things. So, thank you, your comment means a lot.

This has a native american feel to me but updated with more modern sounds. The keys are fantastic. There's a certain amount of tension in the song that gives the song energy thru the whole track. Punchy and impactful.

Well done Cam, a dilly of a track!

Oh hey Wayne! Haven't seen you around for a while, hope everything is going well down your way. Thanks as always for the comment. I didn't consciously think of native american music at any point but I can see why you did. I thought about chickening out and switching the taiko drums for a drum kit actually but I'm glad I didn't.

Wow Cam, or should I call you Mike?
My friend this is what I mean by a piece of true music.
Wow, it is a brilliant competition.
You never disappoint mate.
Great job.
Well done.

Ha! No, I have no desire to be Mike Oldfield. Don't really want to have a nervous breakdown and go live with sheep in a mountain cottage lol. (I'm not kidding, actually happened to the poor guy) Still, as ever you're far too kind Maj but I appreciate it.

Well mate if someone is going to rub off on you Ben (or Bod) is a very fine and pretty creative choice and this track is wonderful, deeply rhythmic and percussive with lovely melodic flourishes too. If Yes and Pink Floyd collaborated to make a river dance track it might sound like this. A very nice trip indeed : )
Killick
Killick replied 22nd Oct 2022 - 3 years ago
Yes and Pink Floyd are both idols to me so I take that as an incredibly high compliment. Thank you sir!

Cam honestly for me this has a river dance vibe. I’m loving the movement and the heart of the matter is the percussion interwoven with the melody. You provided a solid listen and a big thanks for sharing your talent.

Thanks so much Mark. The samples are Japanese Taiko drums, so the riverdance connection is not one I would've ever thought of. Now that you've said, I can't unhear it lol.

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
