  1. I haven't heard this song in a long time and it's so nice to hear it again.
    Really well done, Gary. I like the extra touches, like the drum beats in the wicked war part.

    I always wondered why the guy would leave a tropical island and go back to dreary England, especially during a war, but there it is.

  2. I really like how the lyrics build up, how the guy is so perfect and he's every woman's dream.
    And you just know there's going to be something about him not so perfect, which is probably there at 2:45.
    I say probably because I couldn't make out the words right there which is likely due to my hearing loss issue. So can you provide the text because I really want to know what's up with this guy.  🙂

  3. I listened to both versions and the 2nd one is a lot better.

    Nice slow bluesy sound but maybe a little too languid? Tempo could be increased maybe 5 or 10bpm.
    I like the harmonica which echoes what's going on in the background.  
    Overall a pleasing sound. Enjoyed it.

  4. Ross, I love the layered development of the music over time. The vocal tracks really add to the wonderful sound as well. Good stuff!
    Big Omnisphere fan here as well.

  5. Thanks for the nice comments.   Totally appreciate it!

    Larry T -  I find myself using female vocals a lot, maybe too much, since they seem to add a bit of ethereal quality to the stuff I do. Something like that.

    Not a genre I usually listen to so I'm clueless about jazz.  I always assume the music is improvised because that's how it sounds to me. If so, then it's hugely impressive how the musicians can anticipate where things are going and continue on in that direction.  Like I said, I'm clueless.

  6. Alone Time

    Kind of hypnotic and Klaus Schultze-ish.
    I used a lot of delay effect which gets hard to control since the notes tend
    to step on following notes. Arturia Delay Eternity is pretty cool.

    I really like Arturia Augmented Voices which I've used here.

    Thanks for listening/commenting.

  7. Love the production Lynn. It's a fun listen, so much going on in there.
    IMO delay on a voc track can be very effective if used sparingly and not quite as much as you have here.
    Other than that, a really catchy song, one of your best I think.

  8. Larry, I love the bassline but it could use a changeup somewhere in there.
    You should try using a more exotic scale to make the song sound more Egyptian.  
    I don't know what Egyptian music is supposed to sound like, maybe something Middle Eastern.

    Well just a suggestion.  I really like the song as is.

  9. Like Supa Reels Steve said above, great hook and yeah I have Sooner or Later stuck in my head too.  
    (Along with "deliver de letter, the sooner de better")

    I think this video tops all the others of yours, Nigel. Outstanding production, the whole package.

  10.  Voices of the Empire.  Couldn't pass it up at this price and additional  $13.16  cheaper with code FORUM.  (Thanks Larry)

    18 GB download.  Had to create new acct with soundsonline.  Installer wanted to download another app, OPUS,  which I passed on since I didn't know what it was. Apparently it replaces Play?  I auditioned a few patches and it sounds very good.

    @bjornpdx thanks for this like. Obviously not popular here but 212 plays according to Soundcloud stats.

    Congrats.  Nice to get  listeners from all over the world!  Still blows me away to see that someone in, for example,  Jakarta listened to a song of  mine.

  12. John, I thoroughly enjoyed the song, partly because I can relate to the topic (and more so every year).  
    The metronome angle works really well here. Great idea to leave it in like you did. 👍
