Hello Rayc, What I like about you is that you try to break out of a classic chord series. The female voice fits well with the melody. It's pleasant.
Kindly regard,

Thanks JaniJackFlash, I've been experimenting with keys that actually fit my limited, (3 note), vocals and that move has forced me to play with new chords as you hear. Yes, Trudy's vocal seems to work well. Still some tweaking to do but I'm getting there.

Very Grace-Slick-meets-Pink-Floyd. Who is your vocalist? She deserves credit... Solo is nice. Mix sounds really good. Vocal sits in just right. An excellent listen. fj
Thanks fj, Trudy had a different, more aggressive, take on the choruses that was VERY GS. It didn't really suit the song so I cut n pasted that take into the 2nd half of the choruses for dynamics. Yes Eric Drabwell, my original collaborator from 1976, did a nice job on the guitar. THANKS for the assistance.

Ray, Yeah, this took very interesting turn. Amorphous in places, yet holds shape nicely. Definitely more complete. Trudy did the job right! Listens very well. The only thing that I thought I would mention is I think vocals might need a different type of treatment. The oohs and string has a a "large" hall type of reverb, but vocals are more like "live" club mix, "hitting the walls" a little. Regardless of my blathering, you did good. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Misha, I was a little perplexed by the reverb. It's the same on both but I think there's some "room" in Trudy's recording that places it elsewhere. I'll try to tweak that.

We must have missed the last update...went to find it but not available.
Everything works very well for us ... audio and video.
A Grace Slick feel indeed! I never felt that irrespective of her stardom she got the credit she deserved for vocal chops. As a fan of all her iterations it's very easy to fall into this production.
Stadium epic in our book.
ALL sounds good to us on the KRK's and we will stream it to the "big system" this evening.
Kudos to ALL involved.
