Brilliant ...Ha ha christmas shop, I'll second that! Brilliant Dan, it's a very catchy tune, a fine ear for a melody you be havin. The only comment I'd make about the mix is that in general the vocals sound a little loud to me in relation to the backing, however I wouldn't pay much attention to me because:<BR/>1. I generally always think vocals are too loud in a mix and am often wrong<BR/>2. It's sounds great as it is<BR/>A fine IML debut!Bob Rockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635382990926960208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284238405515538017.post-7593692394207179212008-12-02T12:33:00.000-08:002008-12-02T12:33:00.000-08:00LOVE this Dan!

(i had an idea about the harmony mix and will email that to you)<BR/><BR/>It's got a lovely timeless, almost hymnal, feel to it. <BR/>I adore that balance of the male and female voices on the chorus. Really amazing.Portraits and Muralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525769102573926874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3284238405515538017.post-25367236449795424412008-12-02T06:27:00.000-08:002008-12-02T06:27:00.000-08:00Sounds ace, Dan.

As with a lot of the IML stuff, it goes against conventions of what people may expect for the subject. Mix, lyric and performance wise I've already listened to it about 5 times and wouldn't want to hear it any other way. Well done to you and Maria. Those harmonies are tight tight tight. I'd be interested to know how you write them? Do you improvise with the backing tracks or try them out on a keyboard first. Yours in admiration...browniohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120712144652049767noreply@blogger.com
