I'm totally gob smacked that nobody has picked me up for my wanton plagiarism of Shakespeare in the chorus lyrics! Wot, no outraged classics scholars out there?

Earl of Oxford from Burghley in Stamford is the latest suspected originator - so I've heard...

Right - thanks all, again. Having now walked the dogs and settled back down for the day.. It's list time again.

It's nothing he didn't do himself.

Kit Marlowe: Holla, ye pampered jades of Asia! What, can ye draw but twenty miles a day?

Shakespeare: pack-horses and hollow pampered jades of Asia, which cannot go but thirty miles ...

Righto!! Defo Grammy's time this time!
I have now done;

Dropped the guitar bass down during the verses to give the kick and everything else a chance. Left it same level in instrumental section for jaminem.

Completely removed delay and flange effects from main Vox... On your own heads be it! Have that! Is all I can say! Just a little 'Famous Plate' reverb from Dear Reality. Cut the Telephone Voice track to key phrases for emphasis rather than 'on all the time'.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to super refine the snare hits for extra groove. It's all a one shot as opposed to grid samples now. I managed to get extra hits in alongside it for V2 - but I've hit the limits of my abilities with it now.

Many thanks once again! You're all amazing!

I'm late to this discussion, but I'd still like to add my praise for this track - it's SO quirky!

As I write this, I've listened to the version uploaded 2 hours ago, so I assume tht all the discussed tweaks are already in place.

The only thing I noticed on first listen through is that the vocals between 3:14 and 3:39 are way too quiet to make out.

Other than that I'm loving everything!

Hi Martin! Thanks very much! and I'm so pleased you enjoyed it! I shall certainly tweak up those third verse vocals - don't quite know what happened there. Thanks for spotting that one!

Transient Shapers! Wot?? Amazing. Huge thanks to jaminem for the pointer. I have learnt soo much this weekend. I can now finally feel that this one has no more that I can do to it for benefit. Got a transient shaper - fiddled about - it came with a free tape saturation emulator - fiddled about. That's it now. We've all had enough of this one including me Onwards!!

Thanks again to everyone for your help.

Sorry late to the party - just want to say I started listening to the intro and I was like WTF is THIS but very intrigued to hear more then it just kicked in with that quirky Dawn of The Replicants and Beta Band vibe in the verses and choruses. I really like the 'get up if you...' panning in the speakers in particular. Very well done and keen to hear more of your other stuff. Is this DIY mastered by any chance? You might find the slight 'muffled' vibe is sorted by mastering -but I would also not want to lose the lo-fi feel too much.

Just started Kaleidoscope - definitely Dawn of The Replicants vibes - they are one of my favorite bands I expect an influence?

Cool! Glad you liked it! I don't know the bands you mentioned - but I'll certainly check them out. Yes, DIY mastered - it is what it is. The key to it is the kick drum - which is where it all starts in the intro. 3 off beat kicks to the bar introduce the lilt which carries through to the verses - and then slightly different for the chorus - but essentially still on the off beat. The mid section goes more on the beat and doubles up - then back to the development again. I think that's why folks like Drew were so keen to have the kick out loud and proud in the mix. Hope you like Kaleidoscope - that one was fun! They were all fun!

Another late party goer.
This is great, I'd say one of the most interesting tracks I’ve heard here (thee most interesting?)
And "interesting" isn’t code for rubbish.
Keep calm and carry on.

Thanks buddy! High praise indeed!
Don't know about the keeping calm bit - freaking out's more my style
