Me too, you spammy spamburgers. 

I piss on this spamming bunch of, well, you  get the idea.
Love the song, but the "Planet Passion" and "Ancient Future" stuff makes me think of skinny men with furry faces, speaking of auras and one-ness.  Kinda wish Bill had put a wall-of-sound (The Ramones?) after this piece, just to make us realize how lovely it was!

You know I don't understand this kind of comment.....I mean isn't this station "eclectic" what's wrong with a little Morrocan Spanish Arabic sounding beautiful guitar work-it's pleasant, very very pleasant. What....you would rather hear Garth Brooks?
 
LOL I like a lil Garth but you are exactly right, I liked the guitar and this is what is so special about RP

I took guitar lesson from Matthew Montfort.  A good guitarist, and a good teacher.  The one key thing I remember is that he had a band (I don't think this one) that opened for the Ramones, and he slagged them for being out of tune, and only knowing three cords.

 
Sounds like Matt alright. But I can vouch for the fact that Matt liked some of the Ramones' tunes, particularly I wanna be sedated. We used to conjure up that lyric fairly often for amusement. But Matt, being a genius guitar player, can easily diss the technique challenged bands out there with an offhand comment, a quick joke, and a shake of his head, and then he'll qualify that with a humble, "but they made millions, so what do I know?

I totally agree. I definitely will not run to the next store and buy this CD. But anyway, this song is one of the thousand reasons why I like RP so much!

The musicianship sounds good, but the song seems a bit uninspired and contrived.
Bandleader and guitar player Matt Monfort was a good friend of mine in high school. Back in high school, he was playing John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra licks on the guitar flawlessly! That was his favorite band and he used to learn everything he could from those records. This guy is a seriously awesome musician, and in this band he fuses world music with jazz to create exquisite beauty. You'll hear asian, indian (from india), african and mediterannean music fused with jazz in their songs. They also use instruments from all over the world. The level of musicianship in his band is very phenomenal.
Some interesting melodic and rhythemic ideas. would have preferred authentic ethnic instruments tho'.
