The song begins with a wonderfully played finger style acoustic guitar accompanied by the powerful lead vocals of John Payne and builds into a progressive rock riff that goes through different melodic movements that eventually taper and lead back to the soft acoustic guitar played by\u00a0producer and composer Milen Vrabevski. As the song feels like it is about to end the music suddenly jumps back into the progressive rock hook for one more round and an amazing guitar solo played by guitarist, Tim Pierce, and then abruptly stops to climax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Producer and composer Milen Vrabevski has this to say about the single, &#8216;Mind Projection&#8217;,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cI believe we managed to deliver an astonishing sound once again and it will delight the ears and sound systems of hardcore rockers all around the world. Bearing in mind the top-notch level of our guest stars, I allowed myself mainly to record the acoustic guitar of the first single &#8216;MIND PROJECTION&#8217;. \u00a0The video was shot in Bulgaria by Vasil Stefanov, a very prolific and talented video director. The explicit idea was to show the level of collaboration and collective effort of all featuring musicians, which I believe, would be one of the most intriguing aspects for the music fans.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video displays all the great musicians of the band in the studio putting in intense work as they all put in creative ideas and their musical knowledge while it briefly casts scenes of a women with cuts all over and blood on her dress, lost in the wide open country of Bulgaria fighting to survive and find her way. As the song progresses to the end the women&#8217;s cuts begin to heal and she shows signs of strength and healing as she finally soars into the air leaving behind an inspirational message that is correlated with song &#8216;Mind Projection&#8217;.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RnoMT7oZaG0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>The musicians involved with Intelligent Music Project III include\u00a0Simon Phillips on drums and percussion,\u00a0Nathan East (appears courtesy of Yamaha Entertainment Group) on bass,\u00a0John Payne on lead &amp; backing vocals,\u00a0Joseph Williams on lead &amp; backing vocals,\u00a0Carl Sentance on backing vocals &amp; ad-lib, lead vocal part on track 7, and Tim Pierce on guitars.
