    Very nice subtle chord stuff going on there James - great playing by yourself and the big bottomed one.
    I used to live pretty close to the Cotswolds and it never sounded like that - more yuppies than yokels these days

    Thanks Daryl. Yes, it's all rock stars and royalty 'dowun by thurr' these days  Part of the reason I moved to Scotland, couldn't afford to move house where I grew up.

    Very nice James (and Ed)!
     
    Nice job getting Frampton on the intro
     
    That kick sure is deep...
     
    I really like the changes introduced throughout, and the arp fits in really well.
     
    There is one spot at 1:16 where the lead sort of doubles and gets louder than I think it should be.
     
    Love 2:30...and the return at 3:01...quite noice.
     
    Regards,
    Dan

    Thanks Dan, good ears, that bit at 1:16 is a bit loud. Is the kick 'deep' in a good way? I struggle with low frequencies. Was listening to the track from another room and couldn't hear the kick at all, so I beefed it up.

    Nice...   Your phrasing throughout is well done.  I really liked the guitar harmonies.  And the vocal snippets are a trip!
    Oh, and the bottom end (both kick and bass) is deep - in a good way. 
     
    If I had one nit it would be that the drums are somewhat static.   Maybe a bit more variation?

    Thanks Steve, finding that Cotswold dialect poem was quite a coincidence, I couldn't resist using it  Yes, drums..I'm still getting used to AD2. Will get there on the next track perhaps.

    Yes, what Steve said. The kick and bass are nice and deep in a warm way. Like hot chocolate on a snow day. I thought about suggesting adding some "top" to the kick, but after three listens I think it is just perfect the way it is...

    Gents,
     
    Sounds really good.   I like how you wrapped the synth lead around the guitar parts as well..  Very Framptom'ish as someone pointed out.   Good listen:)
     
    Had a look at some pics of the Cotswold countryside while listening,  what a beautiful area.

    Very cool indeed!  Good playing by both you and the Master Bassist.  I like the way that the synth comes in and out to complement the guitars.  Of course the vocal is icing on the cake.
    Well done lads!

    Thanks Freddy! I like to use synths and guitars in harmony/unison occasionally, makes for interesting textures.

    Dig it.  Tune is inventive and sustains interest.  Nice idea throwing in the little spoken bits.  I like the bridge change  about 2:30 in. Mix is flawless.  Great.

    Excellent musicianship. The bottom (bass and kick) could use some distinction.

    Wow, nice. From the 1st warm deep thump of the kick drum to the fade out. The lead guitar and harmonies are very pleasing. Like the touches of Synth bass that drifts in and out. Solid mix fella.
