Here is our latest song. Robert gave Ray and I the backtrack and test vocal for this song. It had a very tricky rhythm to it at the beginning. Ray and I passed ideas back and forth from one side of the world to the other and it became what you hear now. Robert did the final vocal and I added the guitar solo and Ray did the bass and rhythm guitar tracks.
We also have a guest musician who helped out out with the outro. He is very well known on the forum. Please welcome Misha aka Rustyspoon.
Of course we have our other faithful musician Bandi Nabox who laid down the drums and Organ Track

A very nice composition. A little different than what we typically hear on the forum - and different in a most delightful way. A clever play on words and equally interesting music. You guys have a really nice sound. I enjoyed this a lot! Hopijg all of you have a terrific 2021. Take care.
Well, that takes a deep listen to fully appreciate--there's so much packed in! I especially liked that attention-grabbing intro, then the solo area, and the collaboration between forum stars. I decree---great work to be universally enjoyed--or else!!!

Spirit Level Nice one, entertaining and clever. Nice intro Scott, and Roberts vocal was engaging. Enjoyed Ray's bass and Misha's part. Well done by all involved. Peter
The intro really grabs doesn't it? Thanks for your generous assessment.

Wow, gentlemen, that collab is just raging madness... So creative, so good, so different, so fascinating - hats off! I think everybody involved did a terrific job. And Ray, the video fits the song so well - awesome job, too. Looking forward to what will come out of you devils' kitchen next... Stay safe, guys, Stefan
Thanks Stefan, It was a very quick n easy video but not a lot was required given the lyric. Cheers for 2021.

The polish was probably Scott's mastering...he did a fine job. Yes, Misha is always the right secret sauce.

This was catchier than I'm used to hearing from Spirit Level, which was welcome. Really enjoyed the intro and the lead vox. Great job all the way around, actually. Big thumbs up from me.

Thanks to everyone who checked out the song. Your comments are very much appreciated. This was one of our more complicate songs due to the time. Took quite a few takes to get the feel of the song but one we started to lock in I think it because a very cool song. Took us up a notch musically I think. Special thanks to Misha for helping out with the song.
