Fair comment James. Be a boring world if we all did things the same! Interesting idea crossed my mind in reading your comment though. Would be cool at some point if, say, a dozen regular posters on the site drew lots to remix a song by one of the other 12. Be fascinating just to see just how different things turned out! Logistically pretty feasible using dropbox or whatever for the multitracks.

Yeah I got the Prospero thing immediately but wasn't sure till I read your own comment. Neat song dude and clever as it should be for pop (don't want to confuse the minds of the pop-only lovers etc. LOL.). Thumzup on this and thanks for the mix comments on mine. We're probably gonna disagree on the stereo width thing so no point labouring that one. Others have commented on the mids so I may experiment with that in the coming days. Regards organ and guitar levels I'm happy with them - probably a personal taste issue rather than a mix issue. The bass is mono and no fx btw. I do tend to mix my songs a bit thick and fat sometimes so I'm not ruling out stuff hee hee. I'm not being bitchy (no really) but how you mixed/mastered this kind of underlines how you'd do it versus how I'd do it differently anyway, like I say "thumzup" for this - it's the thumzup button alongside the track title LOL.

My ears got taken in by the track, it's great production wise and really nice vocals. Rated

Thanks very much indeed for the comments folks (and I see you've rumbled me Terry! - Prospero is on an extended sabbatical and may well retire). I nearly abandoned this one a couple of times during the writing/recording (all the same process for me). It's really something of nothing melodically, and not particularly memorable. It's kind of so-so b-side stuff. Main point of interest for me was a sonic experiment. Commercial recordings tend to sound the same on any playback equipment. I wanted to find a way of doing that, and I had a hunch about how to do it. Cutting to the chase - there's no EQ on any of this recording other than a small tweak to the vocals to roll off low-mids and lows. All other EQ is at the pre-recording stage - amp and guitar settings, drum kit submixes etc. And - for this one at least - it seems to have worked. Sounds the same in the car as it does on my iPod or played on this laptop or through my studio monitors. The only bit of spice added to the stew was some mild compression at mastering stage to even things out a little and lift the overall volume. As they say across the pond......go figure...

forgot to note the lyrics...gotta smile through whole thing :)...hate it when we love ourselves so much we can't see anything/anyone else :D Uh-oh ;)...written by the wheel of the mighty Pequod...something's fishy :D

Well, well, David...glad you're bringing some summer pop with you from..WHALES :D Love it! the icon...the artist bio comment...light and frivolous...unmistakable vocals and guitar chops...uh-oh-uh-oh...love it all...hadn't heard from you in a bit, was going to e-mail to see what you're up to...now it is all clear..been to WHALES! Delightfully playful and exuberant! Thumbs! - Terry

It's a good song, catchy, brisk, snappy, interesting take on the subject of MILLIONS of songs, refreshing and clever, I like your artwork too, very cool lead solo break! Andrew
