A big thanks for all the feedback on this one. (I'm still without internet in the week apart from my phone so sorry its a belated thanks.) Really appreciated the comments.
@Skub @Rightly @Jack_Diamond. @Movin Flavour @Sterix @Katie Wilson @Yodasdad @Bill Saunders @Paulski @Jamie @shadowfax , Bowie is my musical hero, so to get 11 comparisons to The Dame pretty much made my week.
Katie, thanks for the comments on my voice. I'm not a fan of it at all personally... but it's the only one I've got
. I appreciate the thoughts on the stuttery lyrics, I do intend to redo them a bit when I rope the other guys in the band in, so if you've got time to point out which bits in particular didn't flow to you that'd be most handy. And yes
@Neil C , chorus vocals need tightening, absolutely.
@pompeyjazz @Cawproductions , Bill, Neil , @Paulads,
@tboswell - was also chuffed to get mentions of Suede / post-Punk / Magazine / The Undertones and particularly the Vapours. I was really aiming for something that had the spirit of 'Turning Japanese' / 'You Got My Number'- that kind of jerky-riff new wave feel, so I'm glad that came through.
@SlavaB @redrhodie and Bill, good comments on the mix, bridge and synths idea. Will bear them in mind for the non-demo version. I can hear them synths too now you mention them...
@Viscount Cramer & His Orchestra , always love your reviews! Thanks for making it even more surreal in my head, now that the song is about female eels.
Hope you're having great weekends and the sun is also out where you are. Brighton is on fire today!
