Through an accomplished and strongly delivered vocal arrangement and many different interwoven song parts, all on top of cultured yet heavy guitar the band really hit its focus. The spirituality within the band came out in this song as they hushed down about eight minutes in and broke into
Daniel Lanois ' "The Maker", and then intoHendrix 's "Third Stone From the Sun ". They were stunning musical maneuvers...'"Andrew Tanner, Turning music into gold April 1994, Beat, Melbourne, Australia.]A semi-acoustic version with
