Hi Steve,
This is really, really wonderful listening.
When I looked at the musical ensemble, my first thought was, "How on earth does Steve manage to get such a warm, cohesive and inviting musical sound using such a wide range of Realtracks!" If I was wearing a hat right now, I'd tip it towards to you in acknowledgement. Without doubt, you are are the master
I feel bubbles of panic rising in me when I only have 4 tracks to mix and arrange!
Back to the music...
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It has commercial quality and is so very, very friendly on the both the ears and the psyche. As I listened, images of all that makes Christmas special for families drifted through my mind.
The duet between you and Rachel really is the icing on a very fine musical Christmas cake.
All the best,
Noel
