I'm just listening to it for the first time.

- starts more as a R&B ballad - with a guitar in the front

- then the pace changes - we got a funky tune - based on sax and guitar

- then again, we get a pompous guitar sound (remember those rock ballads with guitar playing a "HUGE" melody), This is where the piano is introduced. Nice background melody by a flute.

- then a sax comes to the front with a minoric slow melody. In the background we hear some nice drumming from John Blackwell. It dissolves into a more syncopatic tune with snares from the drummer.

- and then it ends on a sad note.

The track has definitely more R&B and funk subtones than the previous ones, that including the ballad-like intro and the funky work-out in the middle.

I like it, although it is far from the experimental craziness of East. Again, I think it will flow nicely within the album.

For technical data, the file is called westnews.mp3 The time pronounced in my real player is 15:00. No genre specified.

take care everybody
