OK, it's not a whole album, but it's a start!  No explanations required to answer the poll.  |

I'm stunned. . . I've listened to the first couple of minutes. . . prefer to listen properly at the right time. .. can't rush these things.

Gosh - I'm left wanting to find out more; first impressions - disturbing; compelling; stimulating... I like and don't like it here and there and want to listen again... andI think that's what counts!  Thanks for the heads up, Zenrider |

Well, I like it, but not as it was intended. It seems it would fit more a statement about social media or an open to interpretations song, than a statement, or even reflection, of the once vibrant life of Mohammad Ali.
As it is the music seems a bit too morose for the intended subject. Yes, I know he had Parkinson's and was perhaps a bit settled down when Peter met him, but in his very public life before that, Ali was one of the most alive people of that era. In that the music falls a few beats short.
Beyond that, in another context, very listenable.
But, what the hell do I know?
Thoughts?

Just my opinion -
It sounds like an over-produced mess, re-worked to death that was a left-over from Up. A lot of the sounds are just awful and at times it sounds like engineered sound-bleed from different stages at a music festival. This is the third time I've tried to listen, and the first time I've made it to the end. And probably the last.

You are probably right Beef.
Except for the part that says "look at me I'm Muhammed Ali," the song more conjures up images of what the Orlando shooter or the guy who shot the MP in England was thinking and all those like them. Certainly not images of the man born Cassius Clay, who found boxing as an outlet to his frustrations, then turned it into something far more.

Hey, it's OK to disagree with me. Am kind of interested in other people's takes on it. Hmmm, maybe I'll add a poll...

not to sure about the news song or as tribute to Ali but we liked it
musically it sounds like mix of everything Peter G has been listing to over the last 10 years
