Hey, James,
 
Very cool and unique song with a ton of really wild elements weaving in and out throughout the crisp sounding mix!
 
Great instrumentation and vocals, and the production and mix sound fantastic.  The horns and female backups were tasty icing on the cake! :)
 
Excellent work!
Bob

this song is living proof why I have no problems with you critiquing my songs/mixes.
I don't know what this is, is it reggae, is it pop, is it funk ?
I could obviously keep going...

your one of the people in this song forum I get excited to hear new material from.
this doesn't disappoint.
great over all mix too, just a great change to from "Our Black Regalia"
I love both songs and there extremes from one style to the next.

this is off the hook James,  another great release from the yo yo factory.

Reggae seemed to have turned disco at the halfway point with synths added, etc. no meter what, it's an AWESOME production.

I wish my iPad had a subwoofer.

Fun stuff James.

WTF is up with all the silence at the end of the track?

James this is not a critical comment but an honest one. The vocals, although very well produced, sounded like a fake Jamaican accent. Sorry to say I actually cringed at the vox.

Other than that, top notch production all the way around.

Fantastic production James, as always. I'm glad Ed said what he did about the vocs though, I'd also have preferred this without the cod-Jamaican accent.

What a romp.  Very cool stuff, James.  That sounded like about 1,243 tracks there or close to it anyway .  That's a whole lotta' balls  to have in the air at one time, but you juggled 'em just fine from what I can tell.  The mix sounded spot on to me... print it... it's done.  Great job.


But, as Ed mentioned, there is a whole mess of empty space at the end on the Soundcloud track.
