3:20 is my favourite part in this song. It’s playful in nature and the contrast in rhythm is inventive. Bill truly amazes when it comes to groove songwriting.
@@kevinkinnu341 This period in Connors career I find baffling. Back with Return to Forever, he had his own individual style. Then in the 80s he attempts to basically clone Holdsworth. Allan himself was on record as being rather mystified by Connors' abandoning his own distinctive playing style. Fortunately I think Connors realised the futility of copying Allan and eventually went in a different direction.
@Kevin Kinnu If there was an alternative universe without Allan, then you might have a point. But ultimately, there was only one Holdsworth, which explains why Connors stopped the cloning attempt after a few albums.
Great player. An interesting change of style from his earlier RTF days and, as mentioned, very Holdsworthesque. Perhaps a bit too derivative, or as derivative as one can get to such an original. "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be Allan Holdsworth!"

The depth of this chill composition is amazing.
What reality did this come from..
never get tired of this song,thanks Bill,Tom,and Kim
This music takes me to a place I don't want leave.
exactly!
I concur
thanks for posting this.
Love this style from Mr. Connors. I consider it timeless no matter what era it eminates from. Ethereal. From the cosmos. thank You.
Masterful guitar playing. Top notch/stellar composition
BILL CONNORS (g), Tom Kennedy (b) and Kim Plainfield (d) in 1987.
Amazing stuff. Beautiful guitar playing.
My favorite track from that album.
Great track
I could never work out why he didn't become a major star in the Pat Metheny mould. He has it all.
It's because he never played with Jaco
@@chrischoir3594 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.
good bass player
Tom Kennedy is one of the best out there.
he got his ECM years too
Let's hear it for Bill Holdsworth!
I prefer Bill over Holdsworth. By far

Bill Connors is a genius songwriter. His progressions are unmatched in my book

Even a guy as generous as Allan was reportedly pissed off and more than a bit baffled, by Connors' appropriations.
