Okay, thanks for the help everyone. There's a new mix in the original post replacing the first one, but also here: https://soundcloud.com/seatrials/outdoor-miner Couldn't believe how muffled and distant the drums in particular were when I A/B'd the old mix with the new one. I think I found...

Thanks a lot Bulls Hit. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was reading a bit about the original earlier this week and it seems that EMI really pushed it hard as a single - they got the band to re-record a version longer than the <2 minutes one on the...

I'm not hearing that harshness any more andrushkiwt. Much smoother at higher volumes now - sounds like that high boost was the issue.

Good song andrushkiwt. The arrangement and performance are great - I like that little vocal delay at the end of the phrases. I'm not hearing anything being too loud on the kick - sounds fine to me, though I'm not listening with a subwoofer. I am getting some harshness at higher volumes...

Hey Nola, I think the second mix is mostly a good improvement. The vocal sounds at a better level to me now. It's a song that needs the vocal way out in front if you're being faithful to the original - and it still is, but not too much so any more. I also like the distorted guitar a lot more...

Good tune Chili. I think I listened to the latest mix - there are two attached to the first post with the same filename. I picked the one with fewer views on the assumption that this was probably the newer one. Playing and arrangement are both solid. The mix is good other than the harshness...

Great, thanks for checking it out Heat. Glad it sounded ok to you and that the bass sounded good on your system. Yeah, the drums need a bit of work. As I posted above, I ended up pulling them back at the last minute as I couldn't dry them out any more and they weren't quite in the right space...

Good tip Bubba, I didn't know this. Thanks

It's iconic covers weekend in the clinic! Like Nola's, this one's a brave choice. I think paulman's made a real good attempt at an impossible vocal, guitars are good and so's the playing in general. Two suggestions for the mix. Firstly, I'd round up the Po clan to add some shouty layers to the...

Ha yeah, you're the great procrastinator on here Tad. We had a good tune done like a year ago and then you decided to rebuild it from scratch :D Man, your voice sounds so different here. I've heard a load of your tunes over the years but I wouldn't have recognised it in a blind test. The...

It's really cool you took this on nola. It's a great fit for you and I think you've done a fine job. I agree the vocals could come down a little - they clearly need to be way out in front, but I think they're a little too far even against the original. I'm not crazy on the fizzy guitar that...

Hey pete, had chance to listen to this a few times over the last few days. Some really cool stuff on here and I'm glad you pulled it together. Tracks 3 & 5 are my favourites I think. Track 5 has a cool pastoral vibe and I like the soundscape you built up on track 3. They're also the two...

Yeah, it's been a long time since I heard that record too. From memory, I think it's 'Connection' which rips off 'Three Girl Rhumba' and 'Line Up' which rips off 'I Am The Fly'. Justine Frischmann was going out with Damon Albarn from Blur at the time and they cribbed from Wire sometimes too...

Thanks Tad. It's taken a while to get back up and running, but this was fun to do. Yeah, Reaper looks like a decent step up - Ableton could only handle 32bit plugs and to get back the commercial ones I'd bought and got corrupted, I needed to download the 64bit versions. I'll certainly get the...

Great feedback, thanks a lot Bubba. Yeah, I've heard this song a lot of times. The first would have been the late 90s and with CDs being so expensive at the time and the days before streaming, it was a long time before I heard anything else by Wire. Made them and this weird pop song with...

Hey, I started this a few weeks ago - then I had a bunch of problems linked to the Windows 10 anniversary update and my setup got pretty messed up. As part of getting back up and running again, I moved over from an old version of Ableton to Reaper. I figured this would be as good a project...

Ha, thanks for refreshing the link. I thought maybe you'd taken it down because you were ready to move on or something. I didn't know private links expired either. This is really nice and I think the arrangement is excellent. The lead guitar parts come in at good points and really change...

Yeah, I just don't get how Bob Harris can stomach that anodyne shit he plays on his shows either. Surely someone with his past and experience would be bored out of his mind with that stuff. My parents always leave the radio on loud when they go out for the evening, to deter burglars or something...

Ah shit, was looking forward to giving this one a proper listen. Nevermind. You got a backlog from your cabin recording sessions Nola?

Hey Heat, Great to see you’ve pulled something together into an EP. Your stuff’s too good to only last as long as your latest soundcloud moniker. I've been struggling to get into the clinic recently – so it’s cool that you’ve made these downloadable and I can add them to my ipod and listen in...
