Hi All,

First of all - apologies for the very slow response. Things have been manic at work and as most of my day is tied up on computers I've had to unplug in the evenings for my own sanity.
Many thanks for the kind words. I did boost the bass on the back of Grubstar's observation and will look at a beefed up ending, though in the album setting was supposed to introduce the tales that followed.

Rest of the album is here - but I think I've already posted most of the tracks.

I've checked out Curved Air - can't say I'd ever heard of them. I do hear some of Katja's delivery in there - especially if you heard her singing songs that are more her style; Katja like artists like Joan Baez, My Brightest Diamond, Katie Melua.

Drums I use Addictive Drums - it's old, but you can get some good sounds out of them. It was bit easier when my daughter was dating a drummer who could give pointers. Lol.

I will catch up with the new postings over the weekend - just wanted to respond so my post can sink away.

Cheers,
Digger

Starts off with a great drum groove and that droning synth -- remind me a little bit of Rush. But only for a minute because it moves very quickly into kinda darkwave territory.
Reminds me a little bit of Garbage, but even darker -- probably a result of the slower grooves.
Something about the mix, I think the vocals are a little too separate from the rest of the instruments. If you could find a way to get those more on the same plane, that would be my biggest comment.
Nice stuff though, thanks for posting.

Happy to discover you @digger72
I enjoyed your song, its repetitive beat so tribal for me with its strength of the earth under the feet... Lyrics are fantastic, a language that I like because it is modern but written in a way that makes urban poetry of bad emotions!!

 Hey Digger,  ;D ;D

 Hope you are well my friend. Well, I love those drums. I love the guitars, the bass, and the way it builds to a very satisfying wall of sound ;D ;D
 Katja voice is as mesmerising as always.  Top class song old chap ;D

 How's Forest doing ?  Hope you get a refund on your season ticket ;D ;D

 Take care...Stay Safe ;D

Wow! Great production with fantastic vocals.....both in performance and presentation.

Very dynamic arrangement. This song is jumping out of my studio monitors.

When and how did I miss this awesome track?..just luv it 8) like the air of 60's/70's psychedelia it has, (sort of Jefferson airplane White rabbit feel) singing is wonderful, in a spooky wasted kinda way.. 8)

11/10 for this guys... :) 8)

best, kevin :)
