Here is a cover of Genesis' 1980 Turn It On Again, from their Duke Album, featuring MGC59 on vocals.   A month or so ago Mark posted his version of Turn It On Again.  I was also working on a cover to Turn It On Again at the same time and asked him if I could use his vocal track for my backing track as well.   He graciously agreed and here is the track.  Critiques and comments welcome.

Nice faithful version. On first listen - vocals and drums (esp snare) too loud, which is making the whole track sound a little empty. All the good stuff in the middle is there, but a little buried. Snare needs to be bigger, but further back.

 I'm not one that should be giving mix advice. Wonderful performances Mark, love the vocal and harmony.

I liked it - I am no mix expert, but I thought it sounded pretty good.

Hi, Mark,
 
Wow, another amazing re-creation of a great classic track!  It's always great to hear one of your fantastic covers!
 
Excellent playing as always, and a faithful redux of the original instrumental tones used by Genesis, and MGC59 did a super job on the vocals and harmonies.
 
My only minor crit is that to my ears, it seems to be lacking a bit in overall low end, at least here on my monitors.  But, I haven't heard the original in forever, so maybe that's what it sounded like and what you're shooting for.
 
Anyway, dynamite job as always, Mark, looking forward to your next one!
 
Have a good one!
Bob

The tracking and performances are really good.... a very faithful re-creation of one of my favorite songs.
 
I agree with jamesg1213.... the vocals and drums (certainly the snare) seem to be too loud and it takes away from the depth of the music. When doing a faithful re-creation like this - do you reference the original during mixing? You likely should - at least for the balances.
 
But I'll end the way I started.... this is great. You've mastered the tones and the timing.

James,
 
Appreciate listen and the critique.   I have already done a few tweaks to the mix, based on your comments, and will post an update soon.   I know you are a Genesis fan and have a lot of knowledge of their musical style and mixing techniques so very much appreciate the feedback.   The unfortunate effect of hearing a song too many times is that you become blind to certain aspects of it.  As soon as I read your message, could immediately hear the problems:)
 
The playing and production are also challenging for this style of music but am happy with the way they all turned out.  For me the struggle is always more with the mixes than the overall playing or arrangements.   This forum has been an invaluable resource for further developing that skillset....  Lot's of great ears here/hear..... 
 
More to come.
 
Regards

Others have said what was needed to be said if you are going for a faithful repro.
 
 

Nice cover Mark
