Holy crap, this is fantastic! Love the horns, are they sampled?

I think this is great. Those vox are not too loud to my shell-likes, but I do think they need more 'air' - Andy, you know what I mean, tweak the EQ up about 12KHz - just a touch dull. Just looked at my previous comment and said the same thing then, so either ol' Hank's ears are knackered or there is a tweak required! Good work guys!

Powerfull stuff,very dramatic and quite unpredictable first time round.Nice brass sound,adds a nice touch.That chorus would definitely fit in a Bond movie.ABP

Frickin fantastic sound guys! Only comment on the sound is the excellent vocals are a tad too loud (to my ears). Real dramatic feel to this piece, fantastic track. Loved everything about this one, vocals are spot on and the music is really well composed - not to busy for me. Plenty of drama and nice direction. Rated and nominated.

Well what can I say, great stuff guys! Vocals performed excellent mizz rosemarie. love that brass type sound there, gives the production it's character. Guitar work perfect & production perfect - Don't expect anything less from james aka oakwood! My only small crit. is that it needs a breakdown somewhere, but the rest as good as it gets! Brill work all! Ooh defo. rate!

WOW! Why am I just hearing this? GREAT! All Buttons mashed!

Got to this one eventually! Like others, I feel the vocal needs room to breathe - a nice quiet section to get the words across. Otherwise a good track. Enjoyed the brass. I got a King Crimson feel at times :-)

Really cool! Like both versions equally well-each has it's own strengths. Great composition & Voc. ian-spirits of the south

Very busy powerful and very talented work throughout. Love the vocals - only thing I would say is that there could be a break or two to give prominence to the guitar or the vocals or both to give just a bit of variation and focus. Great track can`t wait for the DL to keep me awake on my travel to work.

Its like a climb to the edge of the atmosphere looking at the unknown mass of ligth that heads toward us and crying it welcome....and the music builds this feeling...I enjoyed twice then when i found the lyrics it shined.

Superb track....powerful and expressive.have rated

This is a very big and busy track Andy. That trumpet effect is very innovative. I agree that there is a lot going on in the chord / fuzzy guitar dept there and its clashing a bit and even detracting from the vocals a little bit. Overall a great track Andy and deserves a rating.

nice to see you back Andy! there are some great elements here but it really needs a re arrangement, its like being bombarded by noise for longer than required, great performances but too much competition with frequencies and instruments, the drums drown in a sea of mid range, i certainly would not want to mix this as it is. The track has a a big feel to it the vocal works but i find the lyrics a little pretentious. I dont want to come over as too negative cause this is a fine track but some of the fat needs cutting out to give it some much needed air. All the best mate

Awesome production and vocal. Nice collab.

Power on Power! Epic is the right word and I dig the Bond connection just right. Love the Brass on this. Like it! Andy :)

Big Big Sounds...wow... Sure has that epic feel, and Mr Bond lookin to shoot one, or lay another!. I get the feeling its a bit busy tho.....and a mid refrain to allow some air into it. Mid section vocal lines seem a little odd too.....they fit, but its just the melody sits outside the normal phrasing boxes. But, i guess thats whats unique anout it. Best, Mick R`

This song should be in the next next James Bond. I feel the song is too long though. Awesom Guitars and instrumentation. Sounds a bit too busy throughout, but maybe that is a unique thing about this one. I love the prechorus/chorus. Beautiful voice as well for this, powerful and nice BV's too. Yes..this should be the next James Bond track. I love how it sounds like a mix of 70's and modern blended together. Nice work on this song and all the best with it. Regards Matt Stevens

Probably, I am going to be the odd man out again...but I did say on the Mistimed track that i didn't feel it needed vox...and while I think these are powerful vox, I just don't think they add to the original track rather than take away from it...sounded too busy and put the focus on the wrong thing, in my view....the right thing being the rich and glorious music. Sorry for my negative view.

nice intro :) reminded me a bit of mark ronson stuff for a few seconds there...then went on a different tangent when the vocals came in...quite the epic really....good performance all round me thinks...its not your best mix andy but still sounds good...some nice touches through out....liked the delay on the vocal...and really good guitar :) and bas... think maybe the drum track is a bit to heavy for me...think it would sound more like a bond track with less percussion...still a good track and the percussion works well...just think less would be better :) cool stuff guys thumbs up

Well done you 3. Sounds very much like a Bond-song, with an epic-feel. Would love to see the light show for this one. It begs to be performed live. Loved the vox and the music-track. Lyric is interesting. Only nit: it might be a bit repetitious and long, but if you like it, you may not care. Dean

I finally found MR. JAO. Missed you dearly. This is first rate. Hope you are doing well.......R....Dan

This is very James Oakwood top-line-wise.....it's a big Bondy track.......it's a good one. Kevin Mooney

You have been busy,What a wonderful song, You all are awesome!! Love it,can listen to this stuff all day long. Push push ;-) Vin

Gday Andy, DJ, Allan and Craig have pretty much covered what can be said. Big song, big sound and a huge effect. Re the all verse, all chorus, I think if a song repeats a line (in this case "Ever After"0, it can cover the need for a chorus in some cases. This one is an example of that in the writing side.Dynamics wise it could a difference I concede. Great job on vox Ro and can see why Dj alluded to SB and her soundtrack efforts.Maybe a huge Sci fi film soundtrack? Loved the guitar work Rich, esp after pre verse 3 and Andy, the everything else bit was pretty darn good too mate :) Great collab and rated, cheers Anton.

Can't help but think of some of the great soundtracks Shirley Bassey did for the Bond flicks, this is huge! Lush arrangement and professional performances and production, very impressive guys (and girl!) Rated.

This one must have been a challenge to sing, the vocal has a really big Linda Rondstant vibe (remember her lol) which I really like, it sounds very big to say the least. The instrumental track is crazy epic as well lol. I like the little delay swells on the vocals as well. From an arrangement point of view after the guitar solo, a dropout might be nice as well (like the intro feel) as the song really needs a breather before the big finish, perhaps a dropout with just a verse with a building piano and the other elements before the big finish, but this is just a personal wish as I cant find anything really wrong with the track lol and have to moan about something lol. Good to see you guys back anyway :)

Liked the WIP very much. Always sounded kinda difficult to imagine vox on. It's a very grandiose piece of music. Ro has done well. The vocals sound big and theatrical which is in keeping with the music. Only small crit, the melody of the vocals doesn't seem to change throughout. It's either one huge verse or one huge chorus. That said it's a good melody and great performances all round, just lacking a little in the way of dynamics. Rated. Craig
