“The age of entitlement,
Eclipsed the age of enlightenment.”
That line alone is excellent and the additions to it in each chorus are too, especially the last chorus.
Drums really pop well and the cello provides the ominous tones so well. Your guitars and bass are alive and breathing!
We enjoyed your draft vocal but are also excited to hear the singer from the original Pygmy Beat.
Kudos!

Ray, Really cool start man. Does the Spaghetti in the title come from the Spaghetti Western sound? That threw me a bit, intriguing though. I am not sure I ever know what Spaghetti Puppets means. Maybe your "brand" is to have things a little more "impressionist" art than your typical straight forward pop song??  Thanks David. The title is a mystery of the mundane. Spaghetti for the guitar & Puppets for the band that inspired the thing...The Last Shadow Puppets (side project from Alex of the Arctic Monkeys).
Cheers

Great title!
I love all the lyric parts that start with "The age of conspiracy." You hit that right on the nose.
You wrote that this was just a draft vocal, so I won't comment that it's buried in the mix.

Thanks J&B, I'll have to post a new thread for the changed vocalist as I cannot edit the 1st post in this. Terry does a fab job. The mix is about done but I'm spending a few days listening...not sure if I've been too heavy handed in the manual de-essing. When you do hear Terry you know that the song is a 100% fit for his voice...I must've known that when writing it.
Cheers

Ray,
Love the exotic configurations of patches with the guitars. You've achieved a pretty good sound. That vibrato stands out to me as something that fits really well! I think your vocal work here fits the song in a great way! That cello really brings in a " I Am The Walrus" vibe! It's a solid good sounding track!
Thanks TB
