Hi Phil,Was concerned when hearing the first few bars, I should have known the production was teasing the listener and just waiting to kick in. Everything sounds clean, a lot of production work as gone into this yet, it doesn't sound over produced, you walk that fine line very well.
Drums also sound very real on this track, Lovely vocal work too.

Hi all! If you go to: http://www.philmuir.com/ And locate the flash player (you can quickly do that with Jaws by pressing the letter F twice quickly to locate the play button) then, you can listento a track called "Overtaken By Love." It's the first song in the playlist.The song was written and sung by a friend of mine, Gordon clowrey. I played/arranged all of the instruments and did all of the drum programming, mixing mastering etc. The BV's were sung by myself and mywife, Sarah. Sarah came up with some of the really cool vocal arrangementsfor this particular tune and as usual, gave an honest critic of the mix. That's the cool thing about Sarah, she has great ears and really does knowwhat's required and what should be left out. This was all tracked in Sonar. All of the BV's, mixing and mastering was done in Windows 7 Professional inSonarX64 with Superior Drummer 2.2.1 64bit, on a couple of PC's, both ofwhich are core 2 duo. The fastest one is only 2.13GHZ and this one which ismy laptop is 1.6GHZ. Just shows you what can be achieved on two fairlylolly systems, at least by today's standards. BTW, the snare that I used isthe NirZ custom however, I used the centre hits, rather than the side ones as the side hits, would have been a bit too ringy for the tune. Enjoy!
