Planet Mars
The more I listened to it, the more I got into it. I had to listen to it again.
thanks guys hey neil it was a great night we had with you guys up in killin
The vocals kinda remind me of Inspiral Carpets. This is a really catchy track!! Bobbing me head and typing at the same time isn't easy...well done:)
I love you guys and your stuff! Ever since I discovered you following your heckling session of The Shine in Killin last year (come see us again, what a cracking night). I'd love to work with you sometime if you ever need an honourary Rascal! Take care, Neil
Love this you guys! I can totally hear your roots in this. Reminds me of (The Jolly Beggerman! I'm not sure why) Good stuff boys! A jammin chune fur sure.
thanks
This is Great!
thanks man
Hi TR One word....... Catchy, I actually quite like this song, the female vox are very well joined with your own. DJ DAH (still here not forgotton)

Hi, This is fantastic guys! Love it! Soooooo cool! Excellent great perfect in every way! Rated and nominated. Cheers, Smudge from Smudgie
thanks guys
his confused me too lads....i thought id commeted on this....and i have ! lol. But, its been ages ago.! `` The Tartan Rascals - 13 March 2007 cheers alan friend The Tartan Rascals - 29 September 2006 Excellent again, you guys have a knack for catchy riffs and melodies``. BUT!!....ill reitterate what a crackin song anyways.....u know im a fan...;)
Jay comes across another long-enjoyed gem on planet mp3u. Fantastic, Ste and Alex! Just fantastic! I'll be back, as the big man said. Got to put the boys to bed now. btw in the earlier days of mp3u there was Bob Tink and 'What?' which I think you'll like, quite similar to this martian peach of a tune.
thanks for the visit ricky/tom/polar/foonk/..it means a lot to us
sorry took my time getting to this very cool guys as always..good vocals and very nice guitars good wor all round me thinks... another rascal performance....well played guys thumbs up..if it lets me as i rated the song before
I found the intro a bit too long. The mix sounds not right. The keyboards are too loud in relation to the vox, and somehow there seems to be a bit too much compression but i can't really define whether it is the whole mastering or just the synths. the drums are very much in the background, especially the snare, not sure if this is intentional. melody line and lyrics are good.
Hi Guys, sorry m comments are never very technical, I just come along and sing but anyway, really like this track my favorite bits were the intro and the harmonising. cheers, Kaesmel
I thought of the Sand Dance as well.....it's got a lovely folky feel as well and the "He speaks of me and you" line is really hooky. Top track. Kevin Mooney
thanks folks much apreciated
Ahh a very good song! the bassline makes it and i like the vocals following along with that (or vice versa) Glad i listened :) ------------------------------------- Dave - I though only i was capable of somthing like that! LOL :)
DOH!! What a cast iron prat. There's me thinking I'd heard this way back in September but no, The Tartans informed me the upload had just picked up the old comments from another song. Dementia's fingers are stroking my brain. I like the 'Egyptian sand dance' feel to it. Still as fresh as when I didn't hear it back in September...... Pass the medication........
You can buy a semi-detached glasshouse 2apartment for 30,000 mardimes
U guys never dissapoint - i could tell i would like this from the onset! that bass line kicks ass. Those lyrics are inspired! (stoner hippy!)fantastic. (what are the property prices like on Mars?)
What a cracking track, bass line reminds me a little of a Jonathon Richmon track. .but this is awesome, the vocals are as catchy as a catchy thing!!!the production is tops, top stuff rated and my final nom of the week :)
Still as fresh as when I heard it way back in September. Top track
Ah this is a nice wee change from the mighty Tartans! Its kinda like your style tho its sounds new?! lol Anyways you know i love the TRs vocal performances and Carrie ann scott is a great addition to this track! Great playig as usual and really nice filled out mix with the strings! Really enjoyed the listen lads! Best of luck with it! Marty
Hi Stephen and Alex, Another quality and tight track !!!! Rolling with melody and harmony !!!! You guy's have a real sense of style !!!! Kind of got that cowboy gallop to it(bass line), and makes it up beat... Would have liked the vox a little higher in the mix...as well as the drums...just a little tho,...other than that, it's perfect !!!! Ace preformance all the way around and a wonderful song to do by Mr Scott(Stephen's brother ???)
hi guys, well now I have to say first off, that bass line, reminded me so much of that egyptian sand dance thingy :-/ sorry lol.. anyway that's not a criticism, just came to mind lol and it certainly does not detract from the fact that this is a really enjoyable,nicely performed and produced song.. excellent harmonies, and I luv it! And us hippies have to stick together eh? :-) No it's fab boys!
Hope you don't mean that awful Razorlight single BMR? This one sounds alive in comparison! Nice track guys, flows really well :-)
i wasnt sure for the first few seconds and then it kicked off..cracking track mate..sounds a bit like America in places...dig out some more
That was very good guys! I agree with Hans, that bassline really is what makes it float along and carries a really neat melody without intruding in the space for the vocals and guitar... nicely done! Love the lyrics - they are thought provoking and picturesque.... I'm throwing a rascilly rating back at cha boys :-) and a nom for good measure
thankyou so much for all your reviews guys! your song planet mars is really chilled, and the vox are perfect. It's fun and different. great stuff. x
Its like a capsule in time with great humor sense and very driving music, liked the bass much and vocals are sticky...Nice1
Big sound with nice detail. I wonder if a bit more vocal variation in order funny just as I wrote that it happened!!! Nice one - jon.
Nice folk intro, I really like the bassline. It's a melody on its own, not getting in the way of the rest of the track. Vocals are great. Lovely track man ! nice story behind it aswell.
Hey you Rascals! :) Another signature song by the more than fabulous duo! Start to finish perfection! This has got a really good feel for me. I like! Best wishes with this! :)

Love the lyrics on this one. The vocals might be a bit more aggressive to match the lyrics. Great classic songwriting.

How the heck did I miss this the first time around? I must be mad. SUPERB. I enjoy all aspects of this track great backing, top vocals as usual and the guitar playing is up there with the best. I like the way you end the track as well. This song reminds me of some of the music played by that great band Horslips.....showing my age there lads!! Bonnets off to the Tartan rascals.
top rated, very good track, great vocals and production.
Good songwriting as always from the Tartans! I like the arrangememt and the storyline... Production is nice too.. I like the seperation on the instruments... vocals sound really nice as well! Please accept a rating!

It pleases me immensely 2 know that this song made the charts, love your sound! Kid
The album surely cant be far off, Im really suprised there's no record deal yet. Yet another quality tune :D Steve Coles
np dawn we have been told that this song is not busy enough but I guess thats all down to peoples own prefs eh...thanks for the comments and your always so kind & complimentary.
I found the background too busy with all the electronica but the song is solid as are the vocals and lyircs have nice assonance to add to the mix. I always enjoy coming here, my friends, because classy music is guaranteed.
ohhhh well well well.....after being missing in action for a while....i come back to find all sorts of changes. this is a brilliant piece of music, grafted with clever lyrics.....but, cmon guys, i know ur from 5 mile fae me, so where did the ....ney accent come from??? lol (only kiddin na na na ) Ur day of recognition must be soooo close now....no-one can keep producin such clever work, and not get recognised.. brilliant.(again)Rs up
a bit of compression and thanks for the quick replys guys its kinda still under progress
Already been here, but saw your message on the board so again here. Maybe the keyboards (donno whats that sound)is a bit upfront, vocals could be more upfront when you got a lot of instruments at once. I really appreciate the nice sound of the vocals, got a bit an effect on or is that natural, sounds cool though. Good lyrics read them just yet. Rated already so noms for sure!
still love it :) gr8 vocals very unique voice you have. cool backing vocals everytime i play your stuff i hear a different influence. anything from kulashaker to manson to idelwild cool guitars all round quality you guys are the dogz :)
Ok folks from here on in its our new song Dont Wanna Know.....all comments welcome.
You make me not wanna sing anymore whenever I hear your voice! This is simply gorgeous, to die for...lyrically precious! This song flows quite nicely...hey, I could even see an acoustic version of this, just the voice and a nice guitar...hmmmmm? This song gets the trifecta..rated/comms/nomination. Can't believe I missed this one. Soulful, love the title...I got it! You guys are so classy...Kid
Really cool laidback track. Gets me a summerlike feeling, warm, sunny and laying back watching the sun passing by the day. Cool track with some nice vocals and melody. Rated this!!! :)
there aint much i can add to what has been said already ! this is chartworthy stuff !!! the backing vocals ! they seem a little distant ! is that meant ? great track !!!
This song is pure class. Chilled yet soothing and very easy on the ears. It also sounds very professionally recorded.
another class track guys love the vocals and the cow bell :D i love cow bells :D another strong performance thumbs up from me :)
Smooth sound guys! Enjoying - rated!
Excellent!...Really love your guys style, Great vocals, great songs, great playing! And not afraid to experiment either. Another great song guys, excelent work! Mark
