Andy:

I feel like I'm seeing you expand and hone your craft in leaps and bounds musically as I watch all the fantastic song writing and bass tracking you have posted over the past 4 months.  This was a complete pleasure with more to come I'm sure.

Jay (HDA)

Jay (HDA ,

Thank you so much, your kind words made my day when I read them!!

I in turn, really dig your vocals, keyboards and your sound in general....very well crafted and tasteful. I was listening to 'two hearts' the other day and it just blew me away!!

I am glad that we finally!! have a collab under our belts, and  it is indeed a happy circumstance it was on one of Stoney's coolest tracks, and it was fab Mike was on board as well. I thought we made a good team, hold the vegetable dip though  .

Great performance on Silver Wings, Jay, super vocal arrangement, and hope to do a few more with you soon!!

Cheers
Andy

Hi Guys
We just collected the following reviews over at IMW so I thought I'd share

Congrats guys - what a fine rock song! Feel a remarkable Saga touch here, absolutely coolness plus intruiging effects. Thanks so much for sharing, this is another favorite for me!

Eerie atmosphere, passion vocals... this is real art rock. Hats off, just love your great, adventurous songs.

Excellent tune - a bit of a techno rocker in parts. Real nice performance by all - powerful but smooth driving. Nice mix as well - Good stuff!!!

Cool

Ian

Stoney,

Congratulations - the reviews/praise are well merited indeed!! This has to be one of your coolest tracks till date (and you have a fair collection by now).

It was great the way you brought a 'world' or eastern feel to the track - its delightfully refreshing!

Thank you Stoney for letting me be part of this wondrous ditty, and thanks Mike and Jay for your wonderful parts!!

On Silver Wings,
Andy

Great stuff guys! I love this song  reminds me a lot of the 80's artist Robbie Neville.. with a bit of psychedelia thrown in.. really solid rhythm section. Love that bassline Andy.. great guitar tone from Mike, solid beat from Ian. But Jay, your voice really makes this work.

Congrats! 

Hey Jay,

Thank you - Im glad you liked the track and the arrangement. The bass line was cool to play, and it's one of my personal favs now, but I will have to give Stoney the credit for coming up with the original bass lines/ideas....he is one hell of a bass player himself!

Cheers
Andy

Hey guys, as usual a very very fun collaboration, it really really is a pleasure to create music with you. I must say I think the vocals on this, both Jay and Ian, are superb, with Andy as usual the creative power house aka (Robobass). It's strange really because I never think of you, Ian, as the drummer, more of a creative genius. Nevertheless, top drumming as usual.

I know you are quite busy at the moment Ian, but there is a little matter of the video.... (just a friendly nudge)  

Here's to the next one....

Cheers
Mike


Thanks Mike, for the kind appreciation. I think your guitar work on this song is just brilliant, wonderful use of textures, sounds, and great lead lines, while keeping that spacey feeling intact. This is one of my fav Mike tracks (and I am amassing quite a few now . As Jay said, this sound is so uniquely you!!

Cheers

I like the word "scrumptious" Donna  . Reminds of lines like we had a "scrumptious" tea - scones, buttered muffins, jam tarts and tea!!!

Wow, you really pulled-out all the stops on this one guys! I usually like to make little comparisons to this or that sound/band,whathaveyou, but this one sounds purely original to my ears, can't even begin to make comparisons..with all the ethnic and psycheldic/jazz/rock influences the way everything is placed in there is brilliant..they just keep getting better and better!
Keep 'em coming!

Hi Donna and Marc
Many thanks for checking this out and your very kind comments 

Mmmmm I wonder how many songs use the word "Scrumptious" ...... I can only think of one from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" LOL ..a lovely word.

Cheers Ian

Hi Guys
This is another nice review we got over at IMW ... thought you would like to read it

What a monster of a track. Had a sort of medieval feel in the opening, but then opens up and rocks with some sensational vocals. Love the space that the bass and guitar give to the vocals. The chorus is full on with some great playing and a really good hook. The whole track is sheer class to my ears. Wonderful change of pace in the middle section, enhanced by some great harmonies and sound effects. Killer guitar break. Sheer class. Loved it. Added to favs and if it's available for download I'll be taking it for sure.

Cheers

Brian
