I do like this lo-fi, rough and ready, sound. I'm listening through some 'not so good' headphones so it's hard to judge really - it does sound quite sparce - but I rather like that... Interesting and original as ever. Peter |

who knows the conclusion of this experiment ? I've never heard anything like it. it's on a planet of its own. Like Dick, I feel things arrive on different planes- maybe because of sound levels between guitar and synths at the beginning - though for me they gel at some point ( the cukoo crakers/part, the backing vocals on the empty seats, the bridge)and get really good. i'm not too nuts about the big drums alone before the chorus, though I like it on the talk-over bridge and in the end. great violent-femmes-like singing and synth noises. You guys are crazy. |

It's nice... ...in this minimalist style. Enough changes to keep it interested. Lyrics are cool... If anything, as far as changes; maybe work that distortion in, far in the distance, before the solo, and building up. Then throw it in, occasionally, in the end verse. But I think it's cool as is, too... |

I'm an idiot. But I love this as it is. I'm sure whatever changes you put in will make it even better. I like the absence of low end. the REALLY fuzzy bass (i think) that comes in at 2:41 is great. I get wicked excited to see new Telephone Booth material roll in. What I like so much about you two is how original and unexpected the songs are. So where they may "lack" certain elements, that's what helps set them apart. I won't say "Don't change a thing" because I'm sure if you did change something, it would only add to the song. |

yeah damn this is cool. like early jane's addiction but with better vocals and cooler stuff going on. love this. I like the rawness of it and maybe the only thing I'd change is the drums. they don't seem to live up to the rest of the song's energy - though I do really like the big drums at the end. other than that, a fave. really good, loving the telephone booth stuff. |

watching the man Devo yes I hear that. and those wicked synths are cool. Some good points are made. but you know some times you have to rip off the shirts and let it hang out. there is a lot of really good stuff here. The fast synth sound is that programmed or just all those extra arms working into a frenzy? It's real cool. and yeah I can see incorporating that Rat pedal on the bass in places. |

fi-lo-fi-fum Bob and Carlo, Love the lo-fi take on this. The claen-no verb guitar is refreshing. I think the best thing about this apart from the crazy ass synths is the delivery of the vocals, really energetic and honest. OMG the guitar just came in distorto-matic in a RAT pedal kind of way. Really inventive and original. P |

Raw and.... Minimalist....Quirky and big drums. I personally love the use of big drums in this song. It's the drums and the vocal delivery that hold my attention. I'd like the song even more if the bass guitar was thumping as hard as those big drums were bumping. |

I really like this, as is. I get what some are saying about a slightly disjointed feel in the earlier parts of the song. The guitar sound on the verse stabs is also a little raw for my taste, but that's not a criticism, just a taste thing. The vocal is very cool, and i really like the drums. The bass that is there is really nice; pump it up! Great lyrics, and terrific energy. Can't wait to hear where this goes. Peace. |

great track i like the sparse bass, but would probably make it a bit bigger when it is in (god i love a Rat pedal). i like the real drums when they come in, and the synths are freaking me out they're so good. this is 98% of the way there. you guys are incredible. |

Love the busy synth sounds in my right ear. This sounds really original to me. I like the big drums. I am also missing the bass - but you are right not to just do a usual rock type riff - needs something original sounding (over to you Bob). The Telephone Booth concept works brilliantly in my opinion. Cheers Len |

451 it is future punk. lyric is reminiscent of a science fiction movie. singing and music conveys feeling well, to escape from the experiment, from being watched and from watching. it is well made music, it squirms. 0x0 |
Very interesting. Acoustic guitar and lots of synthy bits and bobs. Almost defiantly lo-fi :)
I guess it depends on what you want. There's a lot of things going on but I don't get the feeling of a coherent whole as yet.
It works as a quirky song with lots of ideas and really does remind me of Devo.
Lacks any bass kick but whether that's how it was designed I don't know.
I really like it as it is but I'd put some heavier bass in.
Dunno if this has helped!
Cheers
Dick
