Was concerned when hearing the first few bars, I should have known the
production was teasing the listener and just waiting to kick in.

Phil replied: that was the idea.  I heard the pre chorus in a dream,
complete with the telephonic sound and scratchy vinyl which is kind of funny
cause I wasn't happy about going straight to the chorus so I thought, better
run with that.

this yet, it doesn't sound over produced, you walk that fine line very well.

Phil replied: thanks Steve!  That's 10 years of faffing around in Sonar.

Phil replied: Thanks!  Think it shows off Superior quite well.

Steve wrote: Lovely vocal work  .

Phil replied: thanks!

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.
