Yeah.... that was the kind of music I didn't like either..... but you did it well.  Perhaps you were a secret listener and disciple of the 80's kind of music.
It's not as cool as Sanity Frowns (IMHO) but still a nice blast from the past....  so... if you have any more unfinished tunes in the box... it's time to roll them out and get the job done.
 
 
Excellent work.

Great vibe, and well performed, as always.
 
Personally I'd like to hear a bit more bottom end bass guitar and kick drum, as well as some more beef hanging under the guitars.  The mix sounds a little "tinny" to my ears.

Well, the more it played the more I liked it.  The change at about 2:30 was nice.  This is a cool tune, James.  Instruments and vocal very nicely done!

Walt, it's funny you say that. Most 80s tracks had nothing below 70hz. I thought there was TOO much bottom to be a real homage!
Thanks for commenting.

Well, I wouldn't say "most"... but I guess much of the poppier stuff from the 80s did cut the bottom end pretty aggressively, even including some "heavier" bands like Van Halen (who I have always thought sounded "tinny" as well).
 
Most of the 80s stuff I listen to didn't really go that route (REM, Police, Queen, AC/DC).  But that's not the kind of 80s homage you were going for, so please disregard my comment. :)
 
In any case, still a great job regardless of EQ preferences!

this is deffo 'echt'. even lesser known bands like It Bites were using those vocoder patches and of course the verby chorused drums.
brilliant tune as well, which has been missed a little. i thought the guitar solo was a little weak - not 100% pitching and not as whammied as the 80s could have used - maybe ask Danny Danzi for a solo?!
otherwise loved it James

OOh, I love this! Great, great singing and a great structure to the song. Love the robotic sounds and that kind of "Shaft" meets "Metropolis" vibe. Very cool and something I'll listen to again, that's for sure. You're something good, jamesyoyo! :)

Thanks Mark. The guitar solo I did last year, and I did indeed tune up my lazy bends, but I guess notenough. I am not a lead guitarist in the slightest, I just do what I gotta with it.
