RWA - Leader

New long one.

This one started out as a leader for a local TV show; that's where the first 30 seconds come from. And the brilliant title obviously. Trying to make a song out of it I clocked it at 11:32 minutes.

Thanks.

Truth is a lot of this material was written and recorded between 2008 and 2010 to end up on the 3rd GC record.
I've been doing other types of music with my new project (Romanov) in 2010 (some will be released soon also) so I wasn't really into the epic prog thing for a while. These last few months I've been finishing a lot of the long songs and throwing one out there every few weeks. But trust me, it took a while to build all together.

That's a tremendous piece. I love it!

Ron, I've been hooked on Overload for a while now (iTunes says it's one of my most played tracks!) and I have added Polar, K2, Interrupt and Leader together to make one mighty fine album. Without the Ghost Circus vox and solo guitars, it has shades of a heavier take on the best parts of latter era Tangerine Dream - which I mean as a compliment incidentally!
In answer to a previous question of yours, I'm always happy to support musicians by buying their products - I bought Ghost Circus CDs previously - and so I'd be happy to pay for any new material you produce like this.
Thanks! 8-)
