Good stuff guys! Cool lyrics as always, Robert, and Scott always comes up with the perfect part for the song.

Good vocal and I like the production too (the "evasion" pan works for me, I liked it)

Another strong offering from Spirit Level! wink


Thank you, Dave; nice to get a plus vote for my "evasions"!

You guys have carved out a forum niche that Janice just
referred to as avant garde rock. Way cool with your
vocal and guitar melding.

The timbre of your voice and Scott's chops/tone really
establish and keep the vibe nailed.

And we're on the level.

J&B,
Well Spirit Level have quoted Milton before; I`m glad you enjoyed this without overthinking though and I like the term "avant guard"... I translate it as "lookout!" we like to keep surprising you level headed guys.

Production-wise, I would have preferred a stronger sound on “evasion, evasion” in the chorus—the vocal is a little lost there for me and so the chorus (again for me—it’s all subjective) loses just a touch of momentum. Lyrically poetic—it may be a bit over my head—but it all hangs together really well. Great stuff!

Best regards,

Deej,
I can hear some 80`s techno pop in this also- Scott`s synth works well for that.
I appreciate your thoughtful comments.
