On our myspace page....

Vibes is, obviously, a song heavily influenced by Smile and other similar psychedelic things

Calgary is a Great Speckled Bird cover, with Amos Garrett (who was in the GSB band) on lead guitar

Standing Still is an Association cover

There are a couple other songs, Old Road and Cloud { Dream, but you can just listen to them to see how they sound  :3d

....feel free to share any thoughts or comments if you check out the tracks. Thanks!

Wow, I love Great Speckled Bird. I didn't think anybody'd ever heard of them, but they're probably a lot more popular in Canada than they are in America. Nice cover.

Thanks! Actually, when we covered it Amos asked me "how did you even hear about the GSB album?" I told him I was a big Todd Rundgren (and Ian & Sylvia fan) and he seemed to understand, haha. But yeah, sadly nobody knows about them here either even though Ian & Amos live in the area. I love GSB too, And the guitar play on the album is out of this world. Also, I always enjoyed my copy on LP but Amos recommended the CD saying its a better mix, and its true! If you haven't heard it already, the remastered cd sounds very clear and is also cheap on ebay
