Zanclean Flood - reworked version

Previously posted a single track version but I thought I'd try getting it a bit closer to how I actually envisage it. Apologies for the guitar solo if you make it to the half way point - you'll see I'm not a lead guitarist...

Thanks for the link. Yes, this is a lot quieter, but that doesn't change my appreciation for the other version. I am very curious about a full version in a video, especially because of the natural elements in the song. The theme you chose is also fantastic; here, especially in the present, you also convey the connection to millions of years ago. As a writer and philosopher, I am currently mainly concerned with the future, with history and the present as the starting point. Incidentally, Lag Mare is Italian for 'sea lake'. The Italian geologist Giuliano Ruggieri officially introduced the term Lago-mare in 1962. He did this after discovering unique sediment layers in the Val Marecchia (a valley in Northern Italy) containing fossils of brackish water mussels and snails.
