Steve - this so well realized and well written. The concept and lyrics are really insightful. Love the Gucci snakeskin line. Also like All the music here - great bass and inspired use of sitar. Philip is hot these days. Excellent collab. |

Very resonant Not only do I have days like this, but I just had one last week! This is impressive - great production, and an outstanding vocal (reminds of the singer from Mansun I think they were called) which nicely complements the very well-written lyrics. I love the restraint on the vocal, especially on the verse. It gives the chorus great impact. Lovely playing throughout. I like the sitar-sound at the end, whatever it is! Very cool. Sorry to hear you're having health issues. Hope things get better. Nice work, again. Peace. |

Another MacJams supergroup... Terrific lyrics and a terrific vocal delivering them... I'm really loving the drums on this, that go from intelligent accents to knowing when to lay back into simplicity... And then are perfectly locked with the bass... Drew continues to be one of the MacJams site secret weapons... The tracks you folks are turning out these days are perfect examples of songs where the arrangement and the mix really work together... Every sound is where it is with a purpose... Much going on, but the whole comes across as simple and focused, as one thing... |

Steve it's good to see you back. A great track from you all - I like the Sitar - and you sound less like Bowie... Sorry to hear the wrist problem persists. Thank for sharing Peter |

Just brilliant.... like another take on a rap song. Great work here and the backing is fantastic, regards M |

Surprise Pleasant surprise. The chant/spoken vocal still makes great use of your voice. The guitar and bass are sharp and original, this is the beauty of these collabs, the whole is better than the parts (which all sound good to me) Thanks Guys Bill |

Got it going man Love the little touches here with that sitar, but overall, just like how this thing is put together. It really keeps one's interest by the way you constantly add variety along the way with your different sections and layers of complexity all kept together with that driving beat. This is just soooooooooo good. |

help I can't see This is so blindingly good, incredibly diverse, vapours of The The's Matt Johnson. 'No trace in the empty seat, my deletion is complete' what a great line, deserves to be all by itself. And the Gucci snakeskin' jesus !! Beautiful transitions, yeah as others said the bowie vox is all but squeezed out,or is that racerat ? though the backing vocals have the lodger/scary monsters vibe which is brilliant, I love it. The production values are top drawer very much. I picked up logic myself a few months ago on ebay but I'm finding the learning curve hell, any links to 'Logic for Dummies' a think a greater clarity of sound can be achieved than with using Garageband, which I feel lacks edge. And man I just have to get the full edition of Addictive Drums. The percussion sounds so punchy here. Of course all the equipment/software in the world does not make a great song, it take a great songwriter, and that I must say you very much are. One of your best. Wow gucci trainers !! I don't know what to say now. |

Yeah it's good. Good to hear a new song from you Steve. Great tune and production. I agree with the Matt Johnson comparison (it could be off Infected and a Lost Songs entry!). Great production job as always from Philip. You've got a good team going there. Quality. Phil |

Powerful images But not only that, there's one hell of a tune going on here! Great work guys; Steve, the talking parts were a surprise, so the singing came like at a point I didn't expect, but hoped that you would sing at some point - so not disappointed when it did happen. I think after all the comparisons are made that you sound like Steve of Echoroom fame. If Bowie, Brett Anderson, Matt Johnson et al were each to sing ths, then yours would be the definitive version.... Production is immense. Great addition to your stable. Jim |

yikes Steve, I missed your music very much! What an amazing collab, everybody--I don't even know what all is in there, but I know it all sounds good together. it's one of those songs that take you away. I love that break with the great big drums and sitar? drop-to-the-floor good. Every bit of the song. oh and that repeating, high string sound, so urgent. |

5 stars to all of the people being involved into this outstanding track. A song that works from the very first listen and another track I'd like to find in the music stores. |

My Deletion Is Complete Well, if they release Mission Impossible 4, they'd be stupid to use any other song than this. This has that really cool Secret Agent kinda vibe for the majority of the song. Might be that bass line. A really nice rap coming from you, MC Echoroom in da house. Plastic knives in the business aisles... Gucci snake skin.... Prince of Strangers.... this is loaded with strong visuals as usual. "Flame by flame, I burn to keep it" Great writing Steve. You tell really great stories. Have you ever just written for the sake of writing? (Here's where you tell me that you are a famous writer). Great variety of well performed instruments. You guys are rock stars. |

Good to have you back man! Smokin collab!
Love the concept. I too have pondered such things from time to time.
Excellent arrangement and stellar production. Love the change ups and turn arounds.
I could listen to you sing all day long Steve.
Be well friends!
