I really like the production on this. Love all the ear 'candy'. You really treat the listener to a cool arrangement and interesting production.
Peace,
Ian

Hey Daryl
The arrangement is GREAT on this piece. I'm diggin the tone/performance of the solo guitar. You are on a roll producing/writing and performing some fantastic music.

Listened to Candy a few days ago and was humming the chorus all day at work. I had to listen again.
I like it!

Cool song Daryl. Not sure about the x-files synth. I liked it for a few moments- almost like the little whale song synth thing in the one republic apologize song- but beyond that not so keen. Very compressed throughout which is noticeable to me in my computer room with little roland monitors. There is some harsh hissing going on there which drops out at certain times- maybe you guys have a pre amp real high on one track or something, gate may help there. Also: instead of power's gone-----power's off ? i think the song is WIZARD though!

I enjoyed it, the nasally vocal tone brought early King Crimson to mind in the opening section Good song, production sounds very modern, thanks for sharing.

truly great piano riff to start with Daryl. thought the vocals right at the start were a little compressed (actually i hear now they have some delay and ?chorus so this is a stylistic choice..)but once the BV and the rest of the instrumentation kicks in they level out well. Mix is great, only thing which needs a bit more oomph is the bass. Wow what an awesome song, you really are a great writer! cheers.

I've come to accept that all freds lead to Bapu, but disturbingly it now seems that all songs lead to Bapu !
Liked it even more this time round - this might have to go on rotation in my mp3 player.

I adore the harmonies on the chorus. They are Perfect. And the mix is just superb. Nice one, Daryl.

I really enjoyed this. And the mix (to me) sounds awesome. I wish I knew how you guys get things to sound like this. I really like the transition to the chorus "Candy's gone now, left alone...", and the harmonies. And the overall production value seems quite high. A lot of talent on display here, good job.

Well, it's my birthday and I thought I would give this song one last shameless bump before it dissapears completely off page 1 and into Song Forum obscurity. Hate me if you want - it's my birthday and I don't care :)
