Hi Stefan,
Good song!
Very well written, arranged, and performed, I especially like what you did with the horns.
Maha did an excellent job on the mix as per usual.
Best to both of you!
Hi Dave, thanks so much for your kind and supportive comment. Maha was delighted when I passed your remark on her mix - I think that's helping her a lot with her improving. All the best, Dave, Stefan

As we have both received three jabs of mRNA it was not even necessary to turn on the sound system to listen. The chip implanted in our brains took care of it all.
Your strong vocals well delivered the witty lyric. Witty and hitting home.
As always you called in a great band and well augmented it with the cool horn arrangement.
Maha set up a nice soundstage with the mix.
Well done and best to you both!

Stefan ...
Super cool rocker! Too bad so much of the lyric is probably true. But man ... you know how to put a song together! As always, your vocal is tops. I also love the horns. And the chord progression. And ... well, everything!!!
Di and I hope Maha's health improves.
Great son g - great listen!
Both of you take care.
Alan & Di Hello Fi and Alan, thanks a bunch for that very nice comment - we always appreciate your kind words a lot, because you both (as such talented musicians() definitely know what you're talking about. I think you've already received my e-mail. All the very best to you: health, health and health !!!!! Stefan

Funny lyrics, although based on scary truths about the current new world. Server farms and dolby surround in the same song, very clever and skillful writing  And very good ending line. Excellent sounding soulful rock. Good work on the arrangement and mix, you have made horns great again! I really really wish to see the video one day, maybe "they" have it all ready!? Janne Hi Janne, that was a very, very kind comment - thank you so much for it. The video will definitely come - one day or another ! Take care, Stefan

Stefan,
Sorry, late for the party. I wanted to sit down without kids running around in the background to listen to it.
Ohh my. How do you come up with those lyrics? Mind boggling good. They read so easy as Shel Silverstein, but only for adults.
Excellent performance and musical arrangement. A+ to Maha for mixing. Hope she feels better and starts doing creative stuff soon.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.
P.S. Had a guest over last week. A musical friend since school days... I put on a couple of tracks from your "SF" stash from 1970s . He liked it a lot.
Hi Misha, wow, what a plaudit from the lyrics genius... Thanks an awwful lot, I was definitely blushing. I have to admit that I didn't know Shel Silverstein prior to your message, but now that I looked him up I'm double flattered by your comparison. I passed your compliment on the mix and your good wishes to Maha - she was flattered, too, and says, Thank you so much. Your PS was stunning: I would never have expected that ANYBODY but us old bosy ourselves would ever have a listen to our old Space Fart stuff. Thanks a lot for blowing some dust from that part of my website - I'm really glad that you enjoyed the listen. All the best, Misha, Stefan

Fun lyrics, clearly (as well) sung. Good arrangement - the brass is a blast to listen to. The swells on the horns were a bit slow, but that's how they're recorded in Vintage Horns, so there's not really anything you can do about that. I really enjoyed this - even without the video!  Hi David, thanks a lot for your kind words - due to that pandemic you may have to hang on for a while but the video will definitely come. All the best, Stefan PS: The swells weren't the built-in ones - they were 'handmade' in the velocity lane. I had never read the VH manual, so I simply did not know about those possibilities . But meanwhile I do know and in my last song I made heavy use of them. As I've always been a huge Chicago fan I especially like those sforzatos...

Stefan & Maha,
EXCELLENT.
A very clever write. And very well written (your best, It think).
Killer horns! You are so good at that!!
The mix is superb. Everything sits right. Everything is crisp and clear. Vocals are right where they should be. A treat for the ears. I do hope that Maha can continue working her magic in the future...
Good Music.
fj Hi Floyd, thank you so much for your very kind comment - I'm gla you liked it. I passed your plaudit for the sound and mix to Maha, and I think, that your words possibly bolstered her up more than anything before. Thanks a lot for that, too. Stay safe, Stefan

The Stasi of free society. You are a clever fellow. Those are a fine set of lyrics. Love the horns. I enjoyed the listen (again  ) Haha, Scott - I think you nailed it... (I mean the Stasi, not the clever fellow. On the other hand...) Thanks so much for your kind comment. All the best, Stefan

Stefan and Maha:
Another great write and catchy, “up” tune . . . with a bitter taste of truth about our big data companies—just sadly so true. Your usual stellar production. Very cool tune! I’ll look forward to a video at some point in the future.
My very best to both of you,
Deej

Clever lyrics as per usual, Stefan (and yeah, I don't think big data have our best interests at heart), superb horns and excellent vocals. Great fun.

Leon
