whoa! big loud intro, I like!

the synth part at :30 is buried in the mix.

holy crap this is a well written tune. don't know where to begin on the production tips. really just the usual stuff, it sounds like you're a really good writer but haven't gone down the production path too far.

got distracted at work but I'm hearing more of the same awesomeness that needs some love. you wrote the hell out of the songs, they just need some polish. feel free to hit me up or just pay leedsquietman or Tarekith $40 (or whatever their rates are) to get it done. afterwards look at what they did and try to apply the same to your songs.

or does the player on the site kill the sound?

banging tunes mang!

man, the bassline in Spiral Sky is slamming!

O.U.T.S.T.A.N.D.I.N.G. Najrock. Sounds a little old school with 21st century groove. Thanks a lot!

WOW! Defintely love the funk, sounds like "we have the funk" lick in there. Either way, as far as songwriting goes, you got it down dude. I've only listened to Cadillac, but I'm seriously diggin' it. Good work!

This is cracking stuff, especially for someone like me who was doin school discos as a kid back in the '70s =) This is disco-tastic mate. Thanks v much for sharing!

Cadillac is insta-OMG!, Party on a Spaceship is less in your face but still great, The supermario sounds in Hey Boss add to a nostalgia fest, Runnings is massive and with mad production could blow brains.

All I got time to listen to right now, time to go pickup a curry.

Love the stuff
