Full of.... Class and elegance. This is a very beautiful piece made even more so by a very beautiful vocal performance. I think ledebutant is on to something mix wise, I agree with her observation. Thoroughly worth a D/L though. Thanks for giving this one to us. |

wow is right! I guess Daniella is not using the built-in mic... hehe. Yeah like ledeb, I think that a bit of a bass bump would be nice, and I don't think Daniella would get lost. I love the orchestral percussion additions. Did you try a version with the original vocal mixed in? I like boy-girl harmonies and maybe it would be nice with you singing along in the choruses, Phil. The other thing I felt like the last chorus seemed like it lost a little oomph instead of coming up, maybe because you pulled the bass back a bit with the addition of the electric guitar part. Sort of odd, maybe it's my ears playing tricks on me. Man, this is nice, though, even though I listened a lot to this song before, it just takes on a whole different feel with this version. |

I don't think... ...this is the final, perfect, ultimate mix for this song, but I think it's a testament to its strength as a song and as an arrangement and a vocal performance that one comes away from it convinced that this is really good... Yes, with Lisa and Jim, I could hear more whomp and thump in this, and there DOES seem to be a point near the end where it collapses to mono for a bit in my headphones... I love the melody and the lead vocal, and I love that distorted guitar tonality that reveals itself on the outro... And without any clear clue about the what it's about, really, I truly like the lyrics... Downloaded as is, and leaving space on the hard drive for the next one... Ed |

Cool one Phil Daniella sure can sing - a great combination with your playing. Mix wise, there seems to be a lack of definition at the bottom end. From memory, you use Ozone, and I think you could do a good job on the bottom end in the "Multiband Dynamics" section by increasing the attack and volume of the bass and kick. I think it's beyond simple EQ tweaking, but a little of that wouldn't hurt either. I think the suggestion that you join Daniella for the chorus is a good one. Cheers, Neil |

Doubling I dig the Sting vibe. There is an imprecision in the vocal doubling that might be made better if you panned the voices farther left-right and used slightly less reverb. But the slight pitch variation her and there need some pitch-fixes too. I like her softness. Not sure if you need to double her vocals at all, actually. |

just stumbled onto this... and i'm very impressed. the vocal quality is beautiful, with a precise delivery. the music has an ethereal ambiance which drives this track well (love the various breakdowns in the beat which add dynamics). production is very much on point. cool track, and great job to both of you. |

Well done Congrats to you and Daniella on a job well done. The space you create with your mixing is great. I am a sucker for that current take on 80's pop. Tobin |

A Cave Of Stars nice recording! i really like how this brings out and updates the better qualities of 80s pop, without sounding dated. it could use a few more contemporary touches, like the exciting beat that kicks in at around 2:45. cheerz, -=ez |

A great voice without a doubt. I did find the vocal 'sound' a bit thin and processed through my headphones - but the quality of the song more than made up for it! Peter |

Very nice this is a great song, and a terrific vocal performance. The production is really nice. I get what some people are saying about the bottom end, so I won't labor the point! I really like the bassline, and the vocal is wonderful. Man, you set the bar high! This is way cool. Nicely done. Peace. |
Just a great track. Dig the vocals, fabulous instrumentation. Love the orchestral accents
