Hi Guys,
 
Here is a song that I posted in the forums many months back in a draft form, here is the final version of the track with video which I debuted at my album launch last week, it went down really well, a real curveball from my other stuff.
 
Co-produced by my long term collaborater (I reckon I can say that by now!) James YoYo. Its a lot edgier and darker to what I normally put out.
 
Have a look and let me know how you feel

The mix comes across quite well here Cian, must admit I did not watch the video, thanks for sharing.

I watched! Great vid. Love the kaleidoscope sections, how did you do those?
 
If I remember right from your first version, the vocal was a different take / style? I like this one much better. Is it the same vocal or did you re-sing it?
 
It has a little snakey Middle Eastern bounce to it, pretty cool.
 
I don't know that the word "relapse" comes through enough, I remember commenting before, probably just my ears that hear it as "relax" but that's probably what I want to hear instead, so no problem!
 
Your video was fun, like an animated Rorschach inkblot test. I found myself feeling some unconscious thoughts come up . . . 
 
 . . . and you might want to put a "strobe light" disclaimer for the epileptically inclined. Yeah, I know, I'm no fun.  :)
 
really cool Cian

Yeah, that is different for you...   I liked it!   Everything was really well done - great production on a solid song and arrangement, and good choice of synths and sounds.   I didn't hear anything out of place.    And who woulda thunk it... a short Cian rap.

Chase/Wookie - thanks for the listen
 
Tom, this was all redone with James onboard, and I came a lot more pro than my own version. Some of those videos were taken from other youtube accouts, I dont own all footage, but thought they worked really well. Thanks for the strobe reminder, I had been meaning to do that.
 
James1/James2/Steve & Lynn, thanks a bunch 
 
I actually really like this song and proud of it, something different to what I normally do and has some substance behind it.

Good work all the way round...very much enjoyed the whole project. You always have great chops and as an official member of the JamesYoYo fan club I can say I pretty much always enjoy his work.
 
thanks for sharing!!
