I won't do that! The spoken vocals are cool - it's kind of going in a Public Service Broadcasting direction at the moment maybe. I reckon you could bring em down a couple of notches though. They sit on top of the mix & I always think spoken word samples work better sitting in it, otherwise...

Jimi, I listened to this a bunch of times at various mix stages and kepy meaning to post, but didn't. Sounds very cool man, love the vocals and you captured that era incredibly well. Good work :thumbs up:

Wasn't what I was expecting to hear from you Bubba, but sounded really good. I can't quite work out where the vocals will fit or what melody you might have in mind with what's there already, but will be interesting to hear. The drums are busy, but I think that's what makes it pretty unusual -...

The updated mix is sounds like an improvement Chuck - I think the drums are sitting a little better maybe? I'm hearing a touch of unevenness on the vocal levels - like for example that "I don't know how to do it" section is clearly sung louder by you, but the actual level compresses unnaturally...

Yeah, I hear a little Knockin on Heavens Door in this maybe. I didn't catch any earlier versions, but this latest mix sounds great to my ears. I wasn't sure this was my thing stylistically when I hit play, but it surprised me how much I enjoyed the listen - smooth mix and those backing vocals...

Yeah, I'd love to hear you take on See No Evil Bubba - those twin guitar leads would be right up your street. You could see it as a warm up, before you took on the real challenge of Marquee Moon itself :D

Yeah, this one's definitely almost ready for radio play now - commercial radio stations play this kind of stuff all day right? I think the first time I ever heard your stuff was in one of those songwriting contests years ago. I remember a song of yours called Whales (I think) that was about 20...

Two new fleet songs in as many weeks! Always a treat to see some new Harvest Home/Aztec Ladies/Nantucket Milk Maidens or whatever the hell you're calling yourself this time round... I listened a couple of times over the last few days, and it's sounding great. Plenty of stuff to keep the...

Good work Phil. I listened to an earlier mix, but didn't get chance to comment. New mix sounds damn good, and sounds like you're all done with it, so I'll just say I enjoyed listening :thumbs up:

Yeah, I think this is definitely true. A review, recommendation or airplay somewhere has some kind of legitimising effect I think. It's the catalyst that transforms you from worthless schmoe bugging everyone with your crappy efforts to someone making something credible. Even more so now...

Man, surely you don't actually believe this? People may well enjoy your stuff, but it's a big leap to say that you (or anyone else) only ever posting on here to ask for clicks, comments, mix feedback and to market your music is ‘giving’. If you don’t feel inclined to take the time to...

Yeah, I agree with all of this. The volume changes kept catching me out, but hope you keep posting the developments.

Great to hear something from you again Fleet, it's been forever. I saved a copy of this the other day when I wasn't near speakers in case I didn't get chance to check it out before you inevitably take the dropbox link down. I just checked out the latest mix in any case. It sounds pretty...

Yeah, that's fine man - send me either the stereo file or individual tracks when you're ready (depending on what you want to do) and I'll get them mixed in when I can. I agree with trip that the song comes in a little abruptly - I'd have sorted that if the dropbox link was meant to be a proper...

I hadn't heard this Beck song before, it's really cool. I think I'd have re-recorded the vocal to get rid of the clipping as it just sounds like digital clipping to me too, but if you're fine with them, that's your call. The only other thing that struck me was that it's a rootsy kind of song...

This was good fun to do, especially as it's one of my favourite songs/albums/bands. I didn't hear 4tracker's mix with the piano in, but I didn't really do anything special with mine other than add it as a separate track to the stereo mix he sent me. It's just panned to the right, no other...

Great cover choice. One of my favourite songs from one of my favourite albums. Guitar tone sounds really close - they have quite a thin lead sound on that song, and so I think that although the piano line is quite low in the mix, it's important to fill out some body. I don't know if you're...

Shiiiiiit, this is great KC. I love your stuff when it goes down this route. Reminds me of my favourite era of Warp -BoC, Aphex Twin, Chris Clark etc etc. Synths sound awesome, beat is great and I don't think it needs any more low end. Only thing I'm not mad on is the kick where the bit rate...

Agreed. I've heard this a bunch of times in different versions and it's a great one of yours Ray. Personally think the style of vocals work really well here. It's always reminded me of Goodbye & Hello era Tim Buckley and that folky edge suits it more than a punky snarl style I think. Hope...

Bubba, this is a great take - really authentic mate. If anything, it's a bit crisper sounding than the original. Drums, guitars, vocals all sound great. Guitar feedback and verb on the backing vocals is all spot on. Well done man!
