he Craig, When you going to post some new music? Of if you have please point me in the right direction. This is just great! I was trying to figure out what decade of music you love the most.. Great solo man! The production on the is spot on.. Very polished track. Lyrically very dark and foreboding. You know I dig that every time. If you post any new tracks please let me know. I always dig you music. Thanks for all the support. Take care

Cool.

Back again.seems a bit faster to me!!! Superb production Craig.

Beautiful!!!!

Thanks all comments welcomed

51 coms i see why bud .. very 80.s usa vibe here for me with a twist of u2 in places to be honest.. your vox kicks ass dude.. a proper vocal no fakey stuff.. nice gtr riff solo half through... kool drums and percs .. im like a fish out of water here bro. sorry i cant think of nothing more to say.. rated

Always a favourite for me, love the more upfront 'ahhha' on the verse. The reverse solo is of course genius. Still has that American sheen which I especially like about your more moody stuff, and the jangling guitars sound better now. For some reason I always think that film The Lost boys when I listen to it lol, it would have worked really well in that with a swooping helecopter shot (bit of a tangent there lol) Love it even more now mate :)

Hi, Back again...and now the vocals sound just right to me. Have to reiterate: This is a cool song! Very catchy melody ...like the timing of the harmonies and those 3 main notes of synth that repeat throughout...nice and hooky. Cool guitar solo. Has a forward moving feeling and a positive feel (despite the title). Well done! Rated and nom'd. Cheers, Smudge from SMUDGIE

Wow It's been awhile since I last heard this,this is a fine example of musicianship and Your perseverance. It really pays off Fantastic Song. Vin

working this one dude...like the tempo...didn't pick up on that last listen...nice plodding melodic feel...still has that 80's vibe i was talking about :) axe work is a treat to the lugs...nice tone and fx :) and really nice with the backwards guitar :) the Beatles used to do that a lot :) more noticeable in there tracks tho...it's hard to tell on this...but very effective none the less...can't rate again...but will log in to my other account ;)

Very experiMental. Missed the 1st mix, but I'm loving this 1. I'll have to try that backwards lead sometime, I'll get up the scale for a change ;) R8!

I remember this one Craig, defo. one of my favourite ones from you. Yes I like this mix too. I sooo enjoyed listening to this one. Very well done - nice vocals & production works for me too. Very well done to you! R8d 4 sure. Sony S.

Smooth bud. I agree with my original comment and I still love it. Barry

Gday Craig, you have made a good track better. Agree with Possum on the lyrics, top job there and is a catchy tune. Well done mate.

I really love this one Craig...and I never get sick of hearing people warn us about losing our planet...maybe eventually people will start acting on it. Vocals are very cool in this...I don't listen for bum notes so wouldn't know if there was any...just know I like what I hear and this one is definitely improved and as I prefer you singing in lower register, i can honestly say hand on heart, this is one of your better songs in my opinion.

Left a "book" behind when I commented the first time, all those impressions still hold true. The lead's a nice addition to the mix; lead vocal seemed to waver at one point and had me wondering if that was a slip or intentional, harmony sounded fantastic. Still very hummable, I remember this ear-candy! Nice mix, and a very good song, well done Craig.

Yes I agree, 80s sound prevails in this track but anyone that knows me will know that I LOVE THE 80S! So I love this track. Nice vocal, a few flat notes I think in the 'ahhhs' between verses, but overall its great! Rated x

Totally late 80's pop sound. Maybe some slightly flat notes on the vocals, but that's bareable. Mix is absolutely spot on. Nice guitar sound. Nice little melody runs on the synth. All is good. I'd personally lose the vocals over the solo since they detract from it. Some of the solo notes sound a wee bit out of tune, but that could be easily rectified. I also think you should've kept the rhythm guitar going until the end. T-Bone

Listening to the new mix again after listening to the first one. Definetly fuller, lyrics are up front more with more depth and a couple places that were clearer, guitar chorus adds some metal to it big time, it's great with or without though. Glad you kept the ending like it was. I kind of like those constant low sound endings if that makes any sense. Sweet and rated

nice... it reminds me of an artist from the mid 90's, can't put my finger on it.. Very smooth track top to bottom... i find no complaints, mix is nice and balanced and the vox are right where they oughta be... good lyrics and nice guitar too BTW :-) rated obviously

this is very different dude...nice guitar and fx on it :) gives off an 80's pop vibe infact the full song has an 80's pop vibe about it....cool lyrics and vocals sound cool :) very much enjoyed and it is a bit different for you :) cool stuff thumbs up

Very nice production Bro Craig, tune is absolutly relaxing. all buttons my friend.

nice intro C, nice solid beats that appeal, melodies are cool and you sound good in the mix. I never tune into lyrics so can't comment on what ur singing, for me it only every about the sounds and this all sounds solid, good one.

Contrary to what you may think, this is actually quite commercial rather than experimental! The melodies are excellent and it's got potential to be an even better tune with some work on the backing track 'cause (in my opinion of course!) it's a bit 80's sounding which isn't strictly a bad thing but this sounds like it wants to be more modern and polished. Again, it's only my opinion but I'm not going to bulls*it you...lol Lyrically, you've hit the nail on the head and you get your point across concisely. It's be nice to hear you vocal up a bit louder 'cause you sound like you have a nice tone to your voice. Very relaxed and natural which is hard to pull off! All in all, a fine tune and a good message all backed up by a nice chap called Craig!

Very Marillion guitar sound........have listened to this a few times now.....I think it's your best song so far....in fact I'd say it rocks:P Kevin Mooney

Cracking track. Superb production. I generally try to find at least one thing to moan about but I have to concede that there's nothing worth moaning about in this one. Excellent track. well earned rate.

love the guitar sounds on this one craig, wise lyrics and couple with a soulful delivery makes this a great track, plus backed up by strong melody -thumbs up.

Excellent track Craig. Very 80's sounding- almost like New Order. Superb lyrics. Gets a rate from me. Good job:)

Another good un. all in one evening bloody hell, quick worker

Hi, Back again...still love this. Will you do another with vox a bit higher? I know I'm being pushy but I really hope this is possible! Cheers, Smudge from Smudgie

oh and rated!!!

The opening of this track is good!! I like that a lot!! vocals in this are good also!! very fitted to the track and arranged well!! Guitar is good,that snare is HOT!! lol sorry lol!! I love it!!

Babylon may be doomed, but your music won't ever be. Great track.

Craig, This is Awesome man,I think many great songs come from the cuff as it was done in one evening, you knew what you wanted to do and it came to you and it just makes the whole process so much fun when it's spontaneous. Enjoyed this very much! Vin

This is right outta my book of really like style! Kinda has a Duran Duran feel but more modern... really really catchy vibe to it... Would love to hear some harmonies on it especially on the chorus area... also I would have killed the drum beat at the end and let the bass and the melody line fade out... just my opinion :-) great catch deep pop... i like alot! RN

sounds really tinny Craig, aside from that i agree with most that this is a more subtle, humble style from you. I dont really like the guitar effect your using, its got too much high frequency stuff going on and cuts too sharp thru the mix. All this needs is some heavy eq'ing and thickening up in places. Experimental? i wouldnt go that far but i enjoyed this and good on you for challenging your style and coming up with this on a whim. Highly rated.

Hi, Catchy right from the start...very cool theme too which I appreciate; I like your lyrics. A serious and also beautiful/catchy melody. Really good quality overall. Agree that vocals could be a bit higher esp since the lyrics are so important here. But really nicely put together with great production. Well done! Rated. Cheers, Smudge from Smudgie

Hi Craig, this has very 80's sound to it..which is a good thing for me..jangling guitar sounds nice and that little piano riff is pretty damn sweet, could maybe do with an tweak on the production here and there, but everything is there including your legendary vocal hook, nice track mate :)

Like the intro to the song, nice music, has a retro feel to it. think the vocals could do with being louder in the mix and also think the percussion is very repetitive, mix it up a bit! Nice little song, but stays on the same level all the way through, so structure wise I think you could improve it, give it a break somewhere. Still a nice listen, but I prefer your others to be honest.

In my book the best thing you've done... really reminds me of the first "Adventures" album (I finally realised that was who your vox reminds me of) which is an all-time fave of mine. Mix-wise it seems to have a little too much top end and sounds a bit "tinny" (expecially the cymbals); vox is perhaps a little low in the mix, but I just love the song, so I won't dwell there. Good stuff.

Love Babylon is doomed, very 80s electro i think, which is my fave! Rated Nathalie

Hey thanks for the comment. I know it is a bit abrupt , we are gonna add something there, like an LP being stopped or something. x

I love those little hooks in there, like the descending synth line at the end of each couple bars. Definitely a retro feel to parts of it but let's be honest; those were the days! I think I agree with Sony67 about the drums. This tune could be made into a retro stomper! Great work, mate :)

You done all this in one evening?!..damn man,,,this is superb, let alone for 1 evenings work! Very good production all round, but i do feel the vocal is sounding a hint muddy, needs brightening up a fraction maybe. And thats my only negative. Really good song, nice catchy hooks, without being to cliche', and killer melody, well written! (i just wish i could work as fast as you and get these results!:))) Loved it! MArk

Hats off to you Craig. Superb and tuneful. Reminds me of one of the slower tracks from the 80s. I enjoyed this.

Great track, really enjoyed that, all in one night huh? Interesting Lyric and great arrangement. I'll be going to sleep with that in my head for sure :P All the best Deborah Ivri

Normally I avoid "Chicken Little" songs ("the sky is falling") as we are simply inundated with the message over here in the land of Al Gore, but a few bars of this and you had me hooked. Quite different from the other songs of yours I've heard, but to those who are calling it your best I suggest they spend some more time on your song pages! Interesting lyrics, particularly the verses, not for their subject matter but for the structure and rhyme scheme, giving this a nice flow. Flanged guit and synth sounds cool, but I was waiting (and hoping!)for a big bold lead guitar break that didn't happen. In spite of these crits, like Andy F I found myself humming along with this, you've got an excellent sense of "pop", Craig, no doubt about that. Rated for the rhyme scheme and rated for that melody I'm still humming 10 minutes later. Well done! Not bad at all for one day's work.

Loved it from the out-set. An excellent subject to get the message across, to such a belting track. Guitars and synths sound marvellous. Vox and vocals are great as well and tell the story perfectly. The changes are gorgeous. My fav from you so far bud. I can hear a lot of my own influences in hear and that may be the attraction. Loved it and rated it. Barry

Does it speed up along the way or are my ears deceiving me? Maybe the flanged guitar is a little tinny and could be suplemented by a synth to thicken it up. Bit boomy on bottom end vox BUT my word a great job for a few hours work Craig and v easily gets a rate from me... electronic ambient? Not in my book but WTF do I know about genre's - FA!

I definitely agree that this is one of the best I've heard from you all round. The song is reminiscent of the stuff that tumc's been doing lately and I know you love it so I was kinda expecting to hear that influence sooner or later from you. The lyric is fab...really fits the piece and hits the message home. I was reading lyric as usual so understood every word clearly and in this kind of sound, the music should blend with the vox so if you take em up, I wouldn't go too far, a notch or two only. Love it, Craig!!

Hey my friend I think we've got a 80's theme going on here you and I. Might need to bring the vocs up a tad but the mix otherwise is right on. Good lyrics and your voice to me seems to get stronger and stronger easy rate and down load eric

got a bit of A fixx vibe from the sound of the guitar! Nice solid beat to start! voice is great in this Craig! Like the range you're using! nice subtle keys! One of my favs of yours! Amazing when it falls together in one shot eh? Enjoyed this!

Yup ya had one heckuva day!! Nice tune! Vocal could be a bit higher I would agree... But great job for a day, on a very very inportant subject!

G'day Craig an easy on to rate. Great lyrics and if anything the vox is drowned and some of the sibilants sounded a loud. Loved the tune overall. Good job mate.

I like this Craig, I've not heard electronica from you, but this is good, one thing I would suggest is maybe change the drums to make them more 'electronica' sounding. But love the melody - was totally unexpected cos I am used to hearing ya rock! Well done with this! Should ya look at a drum change, will have a re-listen. But I rate this very much. Sonya Stewart.

Great track, bit different as well for you, like the main melody carries it along great, mixture of synths and guitars sounds quite American and cool to me. Had no mix issues for me, vocals seem fine to me volume wise, but everyone mixes vocals differently so what do I know lol :) Important thing is it's a bit of a departure and a great song to boot so can only congratulate you :) Rated

Hi Craig...All this is one day !!It is a really catchy sound you have created. I felt myself humming to this .I had to read the lyrics as I couldn't make all the words out without doing so.However, it was quite a track which I thoroughly enjoyed and for that it hits the rate button! Take Care Andy :)
