I have the usual stable of valve amps - Marshall, Fender, Burns, Laney etc. But I also have a couple of Transistor / Modelling Amps - Blackstar and Orange Crush for instance. Whilst I am sure most / all of us could tell the difference between what was valve and what was not, I honestly don't think that a lot of people at a gig could!! What's everyone's opinion on that? I know I MUCH prefer lifting my Blackstar which weighs next to nothing as opposed to my Laney which weighs about the same as my car? Nigel

Thanks my friend - at the moment we seem OK in Cape Town - all the real bad stuff has been in Joburg and Durban - just hoping it doesn't spread our way!!!!

Michael Thanks so much and your kind comments are really appreciated Cheers Nigel Hi Tom Thanks for this - yes, worked hard on those drums I seem to remember!! Really appreciate the great comments Thanks Nigel Hi Jeff Thanks for taking the time to have a watch and make such kind comments - much appreciated Cheers Nigel

Hi Bat Hope the album goes well - we all know how hard it is these days to promote music, no matter how good it is!! Cheers Nigel

I like the synths you have used - they sound good - mix sounds pretty good as well Cool Nigel

The start sounds a bit like Beethoven on some good mind bending drugs!! Love it!! I like the build up towards the end - can't wait for part 3!! Nigel

Hi Jack - the sound (i think it is rain?) that is there from the start until about 1.57, I really think is too loud - distracts from your vocals Other than that Good start Nigel

Sounded good - what synths were you using? Cool Nigel

Great Guitar as usual and yet another good track Mix sounded really good to me Cool Nigel

Good stuff Wookie - and different sounds - very interesting Thanks for posting Keep w ell Nigel

Sounds good here as well - nice stuff Nigel

I've got a few of their products and they are pretty good - so I thought, why not!!!!! Just downloaded - a real mixed bag of stuff but there is bound to be stuff worth more than 75 bucks!!!!

Hi Tom - I think this is brilliant - great beat, very cool lyrics indeed and I love your video - just GREAT And as Wookie said if there are any issues I missed them as I was just enjoying the song and the video too much!!! Cool Nigel

Hi Makke Another great bit of guitar playing and yes you really know how to use that Tremolo Bar!! Cool Nigel

I don't really care what genre this is, I liked it!! The mix sounds fine to me Great job Cool Nigel

Steven Thanks for positing - i never get any notifications from Lennar about updates etc Cheers Nigel

Hi Kenny Great playing - enjoyed every second and every note - well except of course the last note!!!! Cool stuff indeed Nigel

Thanks for this - so pleased you enjoyed the video, as we put quite a bit of effort into those these days!! Cheers Nigel Hi tom Ha ha, well thanks so much for trying!!!! Always appreciate your time and your comments Keep well Nigel

I settled on using just one brand of compressor and I stick to this about 90% of the time! I use Arturia compressors - i purchased early in a very good sale and have upgraded along the way - the compressor I use the most (and it has side-chaining) is the Fet 76 but i do use the others as well https://www.arturia.com/products/software-effects/comps-bundle/comp-fet76 The other effects in the full bundle are also excellent and get a lot of use - i love the Dimension D for instance. They do have reasonably regular sales I believe Nigel

Hi John Wow thanks for those great comments - really humbled and really appreciate them Thanks so much Nigel

Hi Jack - again I definitely hear some Steely Dan influence, which in my book is a very good thing!! Nicely done indeed Cool Nigel

Like this David and I thought the mix was spot on What did you use for the violins / cello etc? Cool Nigel

Good Guitar playing, track sounds good - nice job Nigel

Steev Exactly what Bjorn said!! I don't think I've ever heard a cover of this either Great job Nigel

HI Michael I listened to this on my studio Monitors and certainly up to around the 1.10sec mark I thought the guitar was up a little loud in the left channel Apart from that, I thought it was a good track and well put together Cool stuff Nigel
