Oh yeah Definite 80's pop hear. The John Hughes film reference was too funny. Ironic too, as I've been teaching myself to play "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs (a great band) before everyone found out about them thanks in large part to john Hughes. But I digress... a lot! Real pleasant vocal and perfect for the song the way you've done it here. You change this up with Moon style drums and I still like the song, but in a different way, you understand ;) I like it. I like it a lot! |

80s stylee Hey Michael - this is ace, a real 80's style track - this has a really nice, sweet feel to it (the synths do that, i think, and your voice). I was listening to mirror Moves by the Furs yesterday - this has that Keith Forsey style production. Nice track.... almost a kinda synthy Mary Chain track. |

I like this I can relate. The song I just posted, at least the last part, was compromised. I played it totally different live than now. But, I liked what you've done with this. AClark was dead on, I could hear this in Breakfast Club. Not a put down, a compliment. I would be very interested in hearing a rocked out Who version, though. Dave |

hey you in parachute pants riding a new wave. sounds really great Michael. has a lot of good sounds. great synth sounds and the drum actually fits the style. Did I mention anything about velvet yet? No? Can't it wasn't in style for the new wave set. Excellent piece totally enjoyed it. very polished |

Is it just me? or does it seem to be an increase in the 80's retro thing. This is definately from that time (meaning the sound). I wonder why it seems most songs do come with as much hope as they did back then (maybe Im just rambling). Anyway I think you did a pretty good job with this. The style is definitely reminds me of my childhood (wow, Im old). |

well done This is a great track. Definitely a favorite of things you've done. I hear what you mean about the other direction with Keith Moon drums. The drummer for my band is crazy talented and I'm so used to saying, "can you put a Keith Moon fill at the end of each progression" and he does it perfectly. Programming MIDI drums and/or finding the right loops is a pain in the ass. With that said, I think what you've got here is perfect enough for me to get all self conscious about what I'm working on! |

plenty of things I like in here:the drum machine, this cool setting on the alpha3 I'd use on any song, the ah ah ah that's reminds me of the Jesus and Mary chain, the chorus and well... I like everything, actually. |

Very cool song however you approach it, I think. This style works perfectly for me. The sounds are great, and your vocal works very well here. I love the drums - it does have that retro thing going on - and I think the feel of the synth sounds is excellent. Nice one. I'm not sure how you could improve on this with a different style, but having said that, I'd be very interested to hear it! Nice work. Peace. |

Good One I've always embraced 80's Pop (all the while getting ridiculed by my metal buddies) so I enjoyed this a lot...I think you're right about the bells excellent production! Mike |

worthwhile experiment Really showcases your voice. I like the backing vocals and really all your vocal work here. Bittersweet. The song is a great mix to my ears. "80's" in a timeless way, if that makes sense. Doesn't sound dated. (Wouldn't mind reading the lyrics) |

You have the JAMC oh - ho ohs going on love shoe synth gaze pop mix. It's the insistent bass that really puts this in place. BTW - watch the mail - I'm sending those drums you need. |

Hey Michael Didn't the "Psych Furs" do pretty in pink. I like to Fx on your voice here. To me the production fits the tune perfectly, but what do I know. Latter |

nice one! You definitely captured the 80s in this one. Not many artists can do that right these days so kudos. Would LOVE to hear the "feedback soaked fuzz pop" version!! |

80s pop song... ...it is...and rolls around in my mind quite nicely. You work this genre really well, michael. Somehow my body and mind survived the '80s (no fear for my spirit...that's for sure) and this is a very pleasant reminder of the times. Thanks. |

This has a nice beginning, which is great for the listener to sink into the tune. Nice backround as the tune continues, lush synth. Enjoyed the singing as well. Interesting words. Nice backup singing in the parts were added. Cool bass thumpin! Thanks for sharing! |

Dig it. I dig the techno nature of the track. It's a good tune, so it will probably work with any arrangement. How about a reggae-polka-punk-square dance kind of a thing...? I'm only here to help... |

Yes!! Awesome song. I am thinking Sixteen Candles rather than the Breakfast Club. Viva La Thompson Twins!! |

Lovely track A very nice track, it does remind me of some of the better tracks of the 80's, but with an up to date touch. The lyrics are really good and so well sung. I am very impressed. |

Love the delivery Good song Michael - very Beatlish (what's new?), but a more modern touch with the synths of course. Like it a lot. Neil |

keep em coming nice tune. I like the chorus. I am thinking Sting when i listen to the chorus repeated. Nice production. I like your dream of a drum pac with such greats as moon and bonham for jazz id like to add billy cobham and jack dejohnette oh and tony williams oh and......... |

yes! smooth. vibrant. pleasant with a touch of darkness. totally engaging. This track really has a great feel and mood. Nice job of restraint with the instrumentation- I'd have been far too tempted to wash it all out. That definitely shows maturity and experience. Oddly enough, I can totally hear this song the other way that you describe. Can't wait to hear it that way, too! |

Moon the Loon Fab drummer was auld Keith - love your voice on this choon - kinda vulnerable and cavalier, great wee understated hook n'all Michael- digging your vibe. |
