Hi, Janne.

I've always liked Tales of Mystery and Imagination, but I think in Poe, Steve Balsamo really knocks it out of the park.

Definitely sounds bit like an Aztec Camera song, at least in the chording (Safe In Sorrow) and the instrumentation (drums, piano - other Dreamland songs) and the counter-melody (Sister Ann). Not only because sounding like one of my all time favorite bands, this is really nice pop song with interesting chord changes and very pleasant melody, including the enjoyable counter-melody. The arrangement is lush and the solo sax fits well.

Dreamland is great, but High Land, Hard Rain was probably my favorite album back in the '80s. I played it constantly.

Thanks for your kind comments about the song! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
