@jacksimmons - So good to hear your woprk again Jack, nice to know the house is all sorted, and that you got your studio back together.
Really dig this song, Thought the clever use of shadowing the gtr with the Vox at the beginning, then the Strings doing that job, Yeah, as someone else said, I can hear the Associates in there, 80's for sure, the vocal thing @1:47 you could lose the acoustic gtr.
@2:23 the strings were too high masking the lead Gtr, if you can get a eBow, that might enhance the '80's feel of the Gtr in that section.
Liked the Vox coming in @2:50 that was very effective, think the drums could have faded before the Vox and left the Acapella going.
Very nice production.
You do have a knack for creating very hooky, riffs, that's worth a lot of wallop...
Good luck with the album jack.
Hope this helps
Rich
