I particularly liked your singing with the big reverb which works really well with this song.

Nigel, I was hesitating a bit on that reverb and delay in the vocal tracks. Changed it several times, but came back to my initial settings...

Maybe take the kick drum down a bit though.

Vic, the drum were loud because I wanted them to. They had to pound in your head. Actually I used for kinds of loops for these drums. But thanks for thinking along :-)

Man, you are so good at building a song and supplying it with the perfect band and arrangement, Hans. The mix, of course, is a shining example of your craftsmanship.


Marty, it's me who had to say 'Wow' for this complioment of yours. What nice to read this, although it's a bad situation the song is about.


Here we now have a real heat wave. Tomorrow will be worse. So in a way, I myself live on scorched earth, but I still can recognize my house...
Have a nice day,

Hans
