mmm, that's tasty. I like it; not thrilled with that clap though.
don't know who Ashley Beeching is either, but very nice voice.

Hi Gary,
thanks for the feedback and positive response.

Ashley does have a lovely voice, doesn't he. I'll pass on your praise.

what a great kick,and I really like the warbly synth sound that starts up.
this sounds really good.

Excellent track, Ian. The singer adds an interesting touch to your style. The voxless stretch from 3:30 to 4:00 is all the more excellent for the contrast.

That clap is a bit dodgy, though.

cool

Great track, wonderful vocals! A few things that came to me though, while listening:
- The song takes a while to get started. Maybe you could get to the vocals more quickly or use a few sound bites from the vocals in the start section to sort of announce what is coming?
- The vocals could be mixed in a tad louder. They are recorded well, though and have a nice sound.
- I like the clap-sound, perhaps it could have some less reverb though to make it more crisp.

I love the backing music and indeed that break in the singing forms a nice intermezzo which builds towards the final part. Great stuff!

Steve, thanks for the feedback and most pleased that you like it
Seems that the clap needs working on / removal.
Better work in that!

Thanks! Not sure which warbly sound you mean, but glad you like it

Hi Marc, thanks for listening. Re your feedback:
1. I wanted the vox to come in at that stage and felt that the chopped up segments paved the way for the actual singing.
2. I agree with the level of the vox and will add a bit of compression to bring them up in the mix.
3. The clap will be worked on, too.
Pleased that you like it
