I celebration of our new website design, here is our latest, possibly last, the way things are going. I already uploaded a clip a few months ago if it sounds like you might have heard it before. All comments will be met with a wall of sarcasm and petulance as usual.

how do you expect us to form an opinion on your song if you make it available to us in 96kb.s???

Make it at least 128kb.s or preferably 192kb.s or up. Mp3 is bad enough with those bit-rates but 96kb.s renders it unlistenable (at least for me).

This is cool Dan; crawling back out of the writer's block

I loved that little guitar break at 2.43

Very enjoyable listen

Very good stuff. An excellent marriage of quirkiness to pop sensibility. I didn't find it unlistenable at all, even at 96kps, though I'd certainly love to hear it at higher resolution.

I found it was about 30 seconds longer than it needed to be, but I'll be damned if I could figure out where to trim.

Gave Butterfly a listen while I was at it. Top stuff.

Thanks for sharing!
Greg

Thanks t both of you for putting in the time to listen and to comment, firstly Mystar, unfortunately this was before and i'll tell the guitarist you liked his stuff.

Lunch Money thanks mate for the comments, butterfly is my favourite thing we have ever done, I think it deserves a wider audience....maybe one day

I would say on a constructive view..... The Drums needed bringing out a bit more, with some compression and a bit louder. I didn't think that 96khz detracted from the song realy at all.

A good song is a good song whatever the bit rate.

But some more clarity in the instruments i.e more sonic seperation as a few instruments are fighting for the same frequencies. Vocals could be a little bit louder and maybe slightly overdriven.

This is just constructive critiscm.... good to hear something that isn't dance music for a cange
