Nice stripped back arrangement Keith - nowhere to hide here and you did a great job. A lot of power in the vocal and kudos to you for taking this on - love the choral build in the chorus - those BGVs and harmonies are just great. Enjoyed it. Andy

Reminded me a little of The Return Of The Giant Hogweed. 🙂 Great concept - really well executed - great job. Andy

Agree with all of the above - really great song and mix - very 80s (in a good way). Terrific vocal performance. Enjoyed the listen. Andy

Really great job - thoroughly enjoyed the listen. Wishing you every success with the album - deserves to do well. Andy

Very good Bjorn - you did a great job on this Andy

Forking netiquette aside for a moment (I'm sure you guys will work things out - I also doubt any disrespect was intended) - this is nicely played - very enjoyable. Andy

Reminds me of some classic tunes - harmonies are already sounding good and that oompah piano is the perfect accompaniment - personally I wanted a chorus to come back in after the guitar solo and fade away on some more of those soaring harmonies but it's a minor crit - agree with the above, there is clearly lots of potential in this one. Nice work 👍 Andy

👏👏👏👏👏👏 At last

I'd agree with the above - I had a quick listen to a few of the tracks and have to say I really liked what I heard. As someone who is happy to devote 23 minutes - on a not irregular basis - to listen to Suppers Ready; I will give this a full listen when I get chance. However that will be a week or two as I have a lot on at present. Andy

Now there's an offer - I'd be very happy to let you have a crack at it Rex - you can have full creative licence to re cut as you see fit. Appreciate the offer because you seem pretty busy with all your other projects. PM me if you're interested. Andy

Wonderful tone and attack - I enjoyed this one a lot. Andy

Thanks for that nice comment John, yes I think we might share a common back catalogue. 🙂 I just remember how unconstrained we all were back then. We used to sit around with our guitars playing for hours, and when we got bored of trying to emulate our heroes we'd just crank out some original material for fun. How I wish I had kept so much more of that old stuff. Andy

Agreed - I think you can mark this one as done 🙂

Thanks @ramscapri and @Lynn Wilson for having a listen and giving this old thread a bump. I had a lot of fun re-recording this and it's been on my to do list for far too long. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I appreciate the feedback. Andy

Liked the change up at the bridge - it's a great song. My one crit is that it slightly sounds like its being held back as an overall mix - I guess I just really wanted it to break out and fly. That said - it's a very minor crit - you did a great job on it. Andy

Loved the opening - guitar has a great tone and drums sit nicely in the mix - I don't detect any vocal strain. Don't think the non-standard structure matters a hoot. Great work Andy

Definitely a bit of phasing on the vocals but - with a groove like that - who cares. 😄 Lots to enjoy here. Andy

Nice work John - especially on the bass line, strings and horns - not to mention an impressive vocal range. One of your best I think. Andy

Sweet vocals and harmonies as always Rex. Not so sure about the sound FX halfway through - kind of jarred for me - but I could see what you were trying to do with them. There's a bit of vibrato on your voice in places that I haven't really heard or noticed before - really nice and so well-controlled. Overall another great track - well done. Andy

Can't wait to hear the version with vocals - this was a super smooth mix and when I listen on headphones I can almost 'see' the instruments being played. Top drawer 👏👏👏 Andy

I've got most of his back catalogue - eclectic would be the word but there are some absolute gems in there - Field of Eternity is a particular favourite of mine.

Hmm agree with Nigel - great stuff Andy

Hi Rik - nice work on the arpeggio (not easy to maintain the tempo) and tone is very nice. Did I detect an altered tuning or is it tuned to regular pitch? Some of those chord changes put me in mind of shades of Ant Phillips early solo work (Tregenna Afternoons). Lovely stuff - well played Andy

Mmmm lovely stuff to kick back and relax to - the mix sounds great on my cans. Andy

Impressive chops indeed, enjoyed the listen. Andy
