Bjorn, Very pleasant listen. I hear bits of Georgy Girl but the first thing the song reminded me of was A Summer Place. There are maybe just hints or elements of that style music but definitely has its' own identity. Nice track. Regards

Rik, Fantastic piece, like what you've done with the placement and reverbs too. Well done. Glad to be hearing your work on the forum again. Regards

Lynn, Solid track, the only thing I heard that seemed off was the intro with the drums and bass, they seem a bit disjointed. I think the bass is OK, it is the kick drum mainly that seems off. Once the vocals come in they lock together nicely. Another spot around 3:30 where the rhythm seems to go out of whack for a few seconds. Maybe that is Chaos part? If so, please disregard. Overall super cool song , a couple listens through. Regards

Nice track, has a real space theme feel as well as elements mystery, discovery, wonder, etc... Goes very well with the pictures. As a terrible photographer myself I can really appreciate the time and study that went into capturing these images. Top notch production. Regards

Wookiee, This piece has so many shades, happy, sad, confusion, hope, despair, joyful memories, etc.. Fantastic musical journey that really does justice to all the emotions and thoughts that go along with this situation. Really a tough thing to go through and wish you the best. Regards

The UltraPak comes with compressed WMA files, not MP3's. The AudioPhile version comes with uncompressed WAV files. So AudioPhile is the same as ULTRA PAK except that all of the Real Tracks are uncompressed - in the full resolution. WMA is not as "lossy" as MP3. Regards

Thought the production was pretty cool, then listened through headphones and got a whole new experience. What you have done with the spaces is quite exceptional. Had to have a couple listens through:) Could definitely hear this in a movie or TV show soundtrack. Regards

Nice, like the song, performance, groove, mix, etc... It is quite amazing to me how you all play off each other even though this is an Internet collab. I wouldn't worry about polishing "mistakes." If they are there it is not anything obvious. Having looked at pro-mix multi-tracks over the years I am actually surprised the number of mistakes that exist when you solo instrument tracks or vocal performances. If you took away the collection of performance (groove, articulation, etc.) and mistakes (timing, bad note, noise bleed, etc) away it wouldn't be the same song. I guess that is why I don't listen to newer music that is perfected to the point of sterility:) Great work. Regards

Bat, Good song, very solid performance. I found myself humming this one after it was over:) Super catchy and superbly fun. Regards

Jeff, Nice work. Cool retro vibe and well mixed. I could hear a Steve Stevens style guitar in a jam like this. Excellent. Regards

Nice one Bat. Tele sounds really good, I have a Tele and absolutely love it, it is a very versatile guitar. Great listen. Didn't hear the first mix but this one sounds good. Regards

Nigel, Great song, performance and production. Equally good video and quite entertaining. Regards

Would have a hard time discerning from the original. Recording is a little cleaner, more modern, but it sounds very much like the original. Surprising how you are able to capture Ozzy's tone and vibe, I have never heard anyone really come close. Really good listen. Regards

Pricey but quite excellent. Just picked Envolution on sale for $108. Looks like Sonnox still has a sale going on their website at around $100USD. Any transient designer should work for the purpose described. Regards

KSband, Nice track, really shines when the sax comes in. Super relaxing track. Try a Transient Designer on the Bass to shorten up the sustain, give it a bit more punch and clarity. May be much easier correction than EQ'ing. Oxford Envolution would be a good option for this task. Regards

Nice jam Rik. Sounds a bit Santana'ish. Guitar tone is great. Regards

Rik, Glad to see you back and better yet, playing. I like your track, some very good noodling you got going on. Hope to hear more in the future and that you are doing well. Regards

Nigel, Really awesome song,mix and overall production. Had a few listens through and quite enjoyed it. Cool video, although I hope you didn't pay the lady's boyfriend/love interest too much as his performance was very wooden:) Regards

Very well done. The harmonies are beautiful and the timing is spot on. Regards

John, Cool song. The drums seem like they are pulling back on the song, I might look at a half-time shuffle to propel the song forward while not distracting from what is there. I think it would work with your current bass line as well. Listen to a song like Home Again by Steely Dan as a reference for this idea. If you have the Toontrack Custom and Vintage kit, check out Grooves ‘Swing 4/4 > Song 3 > 120bpm’ Some great fill ideas and cymbal variations in there as well. Regards

Lynn, Thanks very much for the listen and comment. Appreciate it. Regards

Thanks Eric, appreciate the listen. Yes, he is a good singer, makes mixing very easy:) Regards

Really well done, everything is balanced nicely. Interesting melody and harmony..... really like the horn countermelody when it comes in. The countermelody has both an uplifting and ominous quality at the same time. Very cool track, good use of tempo changes, articulation/expression, space, etc.... Regards

I got it on Thomann site for $133 USD yesterday. Very good release, I also have the Hugh Padgham Sonic Reality Kit for BFD, but this is a whole different level of quality and flexibility. Never really used the BFD one a lot but will definitely use this Toontrack version. It covers many different 80's and 90's styles and has a unique way of using the drum machines, which are also included. I have Spark2 by Arturia that are really good copies of the originals drum machines, however, interesting to see Hugh's method of also recording the drum machines live in studio where the drum kits were also recorded. Gives a very polished sounds with little effort. Regards

Thanks Jeff, appreciate it. Was always one of my favorite Lenny K songs. Regards
