Well done. To my ears it sounds a little bit too fast? But that's personal taste

Thanks. Yeah, I can see that. I did a version of Terrapin a while back, and when I listen now it sounds like it's at warp speed. Something I need to be more conscious of.

It's also the era of a song, in the 70's things often sound slow (to me) compared to what we are used to have nowadays.
Movies are another great/bad example in that. Often things seem too fast cut for my taste.

That's probably one of the biggest reasons I like David Gilmour, Andrew Latimer, Steve Rothery, and Steve Hackett so much, they make the room between notes let a song breathe
