Hi folks, here's a new tune from me. They're a bit rare this year

Weird little video if you prefer;
 

 
Big thanks to my cohorts on this; Daryl Greenway on vocoder synth, Tim Wilkinson who did the original vocal parts and lyrics, and Preston Richardson on drums (Distant Towers, Single-Minded Soldier Studio)

Brilliant mate - really tastefully done.
Nice to be a small part of it :)

Well done guys ...been waiting very patiently for the new stuff ...not disappointed Many thanks for the post
 
 

Thanks Daryl, that synth vocal layer really took the tune up a notch 
 
Cheers Steve, your support is greatly appreciated 

I agree with Daryl.  Very tastefully done.  Congratulations, all, on a song very well done.  Keep 'em coming!!!

Very good work James, loved the intro guitar lick and all the variation throughout....yeah, that synth vocal was a complimentary nice touch. Did you also play the bass on this? Everything sounded very good here on headphones.
 
Cheers!

Thanks Freddy. I wouldn't mind being 'edgy' sometimes, but I guess 'tasteful' is OK

 Cheers Meshers. Bass is SI played on keyboard.

Cool tune! I liked it a lot. Good performances all around as usual. My only complaint was that I couldn't make out many of the words.

Everybody knows what they are doing. A pleasure to go along on the journey.
 
Kick on the kick drum, to my ears in the headphones, is almost too punchy - you might remove some high mids from the kick? It could totally be a genre thing, where you want the beater that in-your-face, so what do I know. But the kick beater is distracting my enjoyment of the guitars a little.
 
The snare on the other hand is top shelf.
 
Lovely, not often heard amalgam of spacey effects, keyboards, and really great guitar tones, all presented in an arrangement that holds interest.
 
well done y'all!
