It is true this has some Alan Parsons influences in it, but it's got slightly more power ;-)
Your vocals are always smooth, professional and creative. They shine once again here.
True power pop!

Hi Rob.
Many thanks for the listen and the review, especially on the mix. For many years I was recording on tape and we used to compress everything at the tracking stage to get a good signal to noise ratio. Rhythm tracks in particular were always pushed into the red on the VU meters and benefited from tape saturation as well. This has the added advantage of making the mix easier, because the tracks stay where you put them! By the time you get a finished mix, all you usually need is a good balancing amp on the main output. There was always competition to see who could get tracks to play loudest on the radio.

Thanks for the kind comments - always like your own stuff and appreciate your opinion.

Cheers. Roger.
