Nice one.
Animal.....JS?
Mix sounds good. Nice full sound I was impressed with the guitar solo that kicked it off. Nice tone and innovative playing.  Was that Sean?
 
It's amazing the results you get with collabs. Who did the mixing and production on this one?

Scandalous! 

I hear the underlying spiritual music, nicely done.

Starise, Herb, Leadfoot, H....

Thank you for listening and commenting. Animal, ha...I had the muppets character in mind when I was trying to figure out who to credit with the drums. I programmed them using EZD2.

Herb, to answer your questions, yes... Sean played the intro and solo, fuzzed/ wah leads. He asked if he could have a go at it. I described to him what I heard in my head. He nailed it. The first reaction that I had when I first heard the intro was...Holy Crap....that's absolutely perfect. He did two versions of the middle solo and I chose the second version. As you can probably tell by now, I was the mixer and producer.

I am becoming a huge fan of this virtual band stuff, we are starting to gel and compliment one another's skills. This song in particular, every ones parts were working well together. Even with both Sean and myself each taking an electric rhythm part, we played very well in sinc with each other.

Sounds well here, glad you explained the Animal part as I had no recollection of playing on this, I say that as prior to being known as the Wookiee when I played drums I was called Animal.
 
Nice stuff all round thanks for sharing.

Wookie, if I knew you already went by Animal, we might have recruited you to lay down the drums.
 
Thanks for the listen.  We are hoping the mix is sounding balanced to everyone.

very nice work all the way round! Can't agree more w/the collab fun....I think the best of tunes takes different musical angles glued together.
 
really enjoyed the kit work here...during the lead it was great at building and support the very cool lead.
 
I would have like to hear the bvox slide to one side of the mix as it seemed to sit on top of the mains....
 
great job guys!!

A very nice song.  Reece, I didn't know you were doing these collabs.  You guys really sound good together.  That vocal thing has taken off for you!  All of the players did a fine job.  I too like the leads.  I like the song too.  All around nice work.
