This song makes me cry it’s so good. Heard it on record (vinyl) tonight at a drum mentor’s house who has a ridiculous Cobham collection. Instantly, hearing the first few notes Gave me chills instantly. I mean it was so intense that I do even think I can listen to on mp3 or cd and not feel the same as I did with hearing it on record.

I went to high …
I went to high school in Vaud. One day, a friend left “Total Eclipse” on my turntable and I became a Cobham fan. When we saw the Montreux Jazz schedule that year, we bought tickets and went – it was a big deal for a couple teenagers so we couldn’t believe we were there either. The next year we saw Shakti and Sun Ra and the year after that I became a jazz DJ in the US. Been one ever since.
I don’t believe you …
I don’t believe you… but in case it is true, wow
Seeing Alphonso …
Seeing Alphonso with The Stick, it hit me.. this band could pull off Crimson’s Indiscipline if so inclined (if it had been written yet). Scofield does Fripp? It… could…. work!

Sorry You are wrong . It was a sample of the same kind of Moog synth in this video .
However with a sine wave , not the square wave you hear on this video.
