I still have the VS840 that I originally recorded this with 26yrs ago... It is HORRIBLE  (The "original" original 4track tape recording back in '93 was even worse lol) Here's a BOSS VE-8 update  https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15038141

Wow, JAPOV...
This is a really cool song. I like the contrast of the upbeat tempo against the semi-dark, brooding tone of the lyrics.
My only nit (if you can even call it that) would be the backing vocals not being completely in sync with the lead. I realize this is likely intentional to give it a more live-version feel.
But I only mention it because, a as first time listener I wanted to hear and understand the words and the difference became distracting.
Regardless, I like the song. I think your use of the BOSS VE-8 is spot on.
Well done, sir!
Peace,
Dave

Live is right lol... I've been messing with the settings in the VE-8 for a week now. I'm not playing/singing at the same time obviously... but, I am just plugging in and hitting record. I'm enjoying the simplicity of it

Its really great that you can go back and grab one of your own from 26 years ago and record it again so easily....sounds good too with the added harmony and nice clear recorded sound. You gonna do lots of good stuff with this....the ease of use freeing up creativity.

You're sounding great here, Tony. Love those loose harmonies that David pointed out. I always like it when the melodic JAPOV shows up as he does in that chorus.
