Sounding like it's come right out of the Rupert Holmes songbook, I like the groove too. Surprisingly for being a straightforward verse/chorus structure, it never seemed to drag out, and the 5:16 passed by much quicker than I thought it would. I would only tweak this mix slightly - bring up the rhythm, a little less effect on the vocal, watch the levels in the solo, etc. Otherwise it's fine. A warm recording with a comfortable feel to it. They don't always have to be loud and wild.

Peter,
Nice mellow number. A feel that fits the lyrics well. You have a smooth voice. I would have preferred to hear the vocals without the heavy effect. Good guitar work.
Jim

Nice track there, Peter! Excellent guitar work, with a lot of very nice M.K. style phrasings here and there. I agree with Mike and Jim about the vocals - the flange was so heavy that is was somewhat intrusive, and took away from the song. Maybe a lighter touch, or a delay instead? Fine job overall, in any case!

Thanks a lot guys....I am working with the vocal effects and may have overdone it...I think the effect matches the song, though. A lifelong aversion to the sound of my singing voice makes all effects seem attractive. I am working hard on it...I am on note but need more... more...more something. Maybe 'character' or 'styling'... I don't know... I have a BUNCH of new(old) songs and they all seem difficult to sing well!!! DOH!
