Yo Kevin,good to hear something new from ya.

In a lot of ways this is a slightly different song from yourself,I'm hearing all sorts of classic OMD style fills,yet with Rush overtones,your voice hovers close to late/current Geddy Lee tones. Clack a set of mole grips on yer nads for the early Rush.  :D

Love the song,is it possible for you to punt out a bad choon?  8)

i dont know how i missed this kevin...i think i mustve thought it was your last song got bumped back up ..
anyway my first thought was The Who  ;D... no you know what it is its that arpeggiated synth at the start it sounds  like the sort of tremeloed organ at the start of Wont get fooled Again thats all

anyway i love that pounding bass & the synth that sounds like a guitar?
its not as immediate as a lot of your songs but it is very catchy as always ...you seem to be going in a synth pop direction lately & mixing the guitars low
i think you should spend more time getting a good lyric now & then....i know youll probably say pop music doesnt need good lyrics & you are right but a realy good story occasionally would make a different  impact like a change of style
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

Hey Kevin

Good to hear your stuff again - love your voice to bits man - where can I get me one of those? First thing I thought of was - is this a Who song? - JUST KIDDING!! :) :)
Sounded like a Shadowfax song to me - and a damn good one at that.
Lyrics are direct and simple - worked for me.

I also could discern a "The Who" vibe.  That's a real positive for me. 

The intro/Lead-in was a real departure from your norm.  GOOD FOR YOU.  It adds a lot to your sound to have a little surprise thrown in somewhere. 

As always, I loved the song.  You have a real gift.

Hmmm, maybe the vocals should be more prominent in the mix? I think it would help someone like me understand the lyrics without too much effort. It sounds like compressed in some way, I'm not sure how to put it.

Other than that I love the cool-chill vibe of the piece, and really love that "laugh" at the end of the track!

At the start your music remind me of the last time i was in a cinema a few years back they had sound effects all over the place but then your vocals came in and it was really nice listening.

You got a great night club sound/song here and what i would suggest is find a night club DJ and give it to him/her and let them do what they're good at.

 Lovin this  ;D ;D

 Right up my street.  Love the groove and all that
 reverse stuff.  Works really well with that powerful
 synth melody, and when those power chords kick
 in around 2.20, it goes to another level ;D ;D

 Excellent work.... loved it  ;D

Nowt as queer as folk...........my gran

For me, there is a faint taste of the Who power, here......

So it's not just me that hears a little Who in the intro, and it's no slight of the song at all.....just the sound that triggers a memory of the intro to Won't Get Fooled Again.  And, as I said, it does go off in an entirely different direction and otherwise bears no resemblance to the Who tune.  It's not unusual at all for a piece of a song to call to mind another piece of a different song.....there's no foul in that.  Yours is a good song.  Peace.

I really don't know how you do it, mate. One after another they come these fabulous songs of yours with seemingly little effort.

I love the "feel" of your recordings - it's hard to describe but they just pull you in and they are all different. This has a great, rolling vibe riding that bass line. Lovely little details like the girl's laugh and the unusual keyboard sounds that you use. I could go on but you really should be a star.

Bloody wonderful.
