So I'm poking around some different SC genres when I see Mr. Massey in the Experimental genre and listen to Zep-Tepi. Al has previously exhausted my vocabulary with his inexhaustible talent so I'll just say, 'dang, that was real good!'

My l am so behind with comments on your tracks Al, will endeavour to catch up over the next few weeks. What to say here, magnificent piece of fusion, love the complex riffs and the way it seemingly builds from nothing at all, not enough stars! Great stuff Al

Ah yes...the ancient epoch known as "The First Time"...the golden age in which the waters of the abyss receded, the primordial darkness banished and mankind offered the gift of civilization under the tutelage of the Urshu and Neteru. You have put in music perfectly a time when the gods were on the earth and ruled amongst men. Historians don't quite know what to make of it because it throws their timeline all out of whack and they don't understand it so they conveniently label it a myth. There's more there than meets the eye!

Howdy Al, Truly, you must be an old soul, reincarnating each lifetime into musical backgrounds to replenish and grow ever more so each time!!! With out a doubt, this was the winner!!!!! It had to be!!!!! A remarkable work, excellent in every melodic detail; exciting, musical fuel for the mind and soul with a knowingness, an energetic personification of where it should take the listener.....there is no other answer to me. You are a master!!!!! Respect and admiration, Wade

Yet again you blow me away Al - this is such a brilliant piece! Full of drama and excitement, it twists and turns and surprises you with something new every couple of bars and gradually changes from one element to another before your very ears. And when that Leslie-powered rapid-fire lead comes in around 3:24 it's pure magic. Wonderful!

Mystic eastern feel at start and then sound of synths blend in to atmosphere to draw a contempary feel over the sound, and that flute coming back at the end whew.

Great piece!I especially like the progression, where you build up the tension by adding more instruments and changing the melody from beautiful to more agressive. This was an absolute favourite of the night - It is just great music. Nuff' said!

Lovely flute in the intro that leads your mind to the middle east due to the tonecombinations and then a lovely melt of world fusion with high class fusion-runs on various instruments that keeps you amazed all the way to the end. Impressiv work on the drums! Absolutely love that brake at 2.15 mark with a second of complete quietness! Impressiv piece with high class performances on every instruments!

More of a modern Egypt. Great piano work on this one. Loved it! Nicely thought out. This theme wasn't an easy one by any means, but you did it. Drew me in and could stop listening to it till the end. Great talent and skill in your music.

One of the highlights of the evening for me. Twisting and turning, proggy and dark, great stuff and full of quality.

Beautiful tapestry of sounds you've assembled here Al :D I love that you play around with exotic timings as well as melody, together they make the most incredible imagery!
