Cool track but I've never heard it before. Good luck.

It sounds familiar. Any chance it's Banco? Sounds like something from Garofano Rosso. Or perhaps it's from a Goblin album? Just can't place it exactly.

It's not Banco. The part with vocals and the following guitar solo in the video blackout sounds American 70s to me. It may be something occasionally prog from a non-prog band.

Obviously someone quite inspired by Isaac Hayes' "Shaft". I like the Santana-like guitar sound. I'd guess early 70s, though. Not a big name, top airplay band. Perhaps early Harold Faltermeyer... (joking ....)

I think the chorus is ' what i need'
It definitely has a Chicago-esque nature to it. I just don't think it is them though The Terry Kath like guitar solo can also be compared to John Goodsall of Brand X fame He has that lightning fast ability as in this solo.
and yes it could be a non prog group reaching into that realm. The middle piano synth section is truly haunting

I'd like to find out, too. Actually quite good. I searched all around, still nothing. The chorus may be "Quiet Place" they say, though it's hard to tell. It's obviously an unknown artist, since bing or google can't find those lyrics ANYWHERE. Though, it is Google and bing...
