Hi Nicholas,

Your work is consistently delicately beautiful. This has a bit of a Mark-Almond Band (not 'Soft Cell" Marc Almond) feel circa "One Way Sunday" from '71..

Though I love the whispered vocals, I still think they could be mixed a slight bit more above the music, and then you might look again at a few pitchy spots. But I can tell you are a fan of a classical music approach, letting a greater dynamic range impact your work.

I'm not wild about the kick drum, which seems to indicate the song might bust out into an orgiastic free-for-all (glad you didn't go there, LOL) --I think a nice staccato cello or string section played with sharp, staccato notes would serve your intention better, there..

The instrumental section is otherwise very beautiful, especially when you are lingering on the sharp 4 note Lydian mode around the 4:30 mark..

And your vocal ad lib--late--are you a fan of "The Blue Nile" and Paul Buchanan?

We probably listen to a lot of the same artists..

Good to hear you are working on some good stuff.. smile

Mike
