so very cool i love the bass in this. i can feel it in my chest. great vox michael, as always. you got a tape echo thing going on in there somewhere? whatever it is, sounds good. really caught me off guard when the country flavored Beatlesque stomp kicked in too. incredible tune. |

cool nice relaxed vibe, anglophilic vocals with catchy melodies and harmonies... was that some slide guitar in there? You already covered the "spot the influence" comment part so I'll leave that out, but does have a kind of classic feel. I can imagine hearing this one on "Radio Paradise"... very much enjoyed. |

Great Song and composition all way around. I agree with all the above. I's there an encore to be waiting for?? |

I like and am amazed by... ...how that relatively low-in-the-mix strummy guitar (is that the Tele? sounds acoustic-y) sort of binds the structure of the song and keeps all the washy synth stuff on purpose... I also really like the vocals... [You're going to have to coach me via Internet on doing the TonePort thing...] I have a feeling this'll be a song that I really revisit... Ed |

You know... I can't remember the last time I listened to one of your songs and didn't feel inspired to make music afterwards. You always make such wonderfully enjoyable songs while always teaching me to think differently, too. |

Wonderful Floydness Your vocals sound excellent and whatever you did to shape this into a song - you did a fine job. As usual - Bryn's work is awesome - I could swim in his atmosphere all day. Nice work boys. |

sleeping So much pop sensibility, but it's still so heavy in complexities. I like sugar in my tea and this is so heavy in both. The bouncy piano bridge stands out for me. |

Trippy I hear a bit of Stackridge and XTC. No bad thing at all. I loved the vocal work and the understated backing. Lovely stuff! Cheers Dick |

spacey really like the laid back strumming - and the slide guitar. love the piano break around 3:15 - lennonesque. as always your vocals are slippery cool - i dig that spacey synth behind the vocals too. someone else mentioned it but i'll agree that the amazing thing is the way that you can take any tune and apply meaningful, interesting vocals to it. |

Mentioned before but, I totally hear Floyd. You can't deny that. A touch of Bowie, too. Great job guys. Dave |

Hi Michael It was quite a surprise to me to see this posted. :-) First of all, my great apologies for not being able to work on this as quickly as I would have liked. I think I sent you the files originally back in May or June and then I got a bit overwhelmed with stuff (a month long trip to the UK, loads of collaboration work, new job when I got back, the infernal heat heat here in Phoenix which has only really subsided this week, etc etc) Stuff just got in the way.... Secondly, when I first heard your additions to this I was blown away (I think lots of people here have expressed very well the way I felt) You are an amazingly talented guy and if you think I am prolific then I would urge you to take a look in the mirror...I think you beat me hands down on that score. I think the main difference between you and me is your more organic approach compared to my technical approach although I think we are both true to the dilettante spirit of open minded experimentation. Third, my version of this is in stasis at the moment. I hope... no I know I will get back to it at some point (along with another biggie for me which is also based on one of your tunes which I have called "Shoulders of Orion") Thank you for posting this version Michael I like what you have done VERY much bryn |

By the way I would love to get me some goggles like the one the head is wearing in your song art |

this is such a cool chord progression. I like this a lot and can definitely hear the floyd references. Actually, it's interesting when something gets compared to Pink Floyd just because of how broad of a sound they had, but this itself includes a lot of different elements. Parts of it, the slide and vocal harmonies, remind me of San Tropez from Meddle, while the tempo and chord progression are very More and Atom Heart Mother. You have such an excellent voice for this kind of stuff Michael. This is a flawless collaboration. The elements coming together here would work well over the course of an entire album. hint... hint.... |

Well Gee Whiz ..... ... I wish I had come up with the idea of an M2/Biba_Nova coupling myself .... cause it works so well together ! I had always thought of you two as having quite different styles ... yet this works so immensely well! Of course I should have known that when you put two geniuses together only more genius could come of it .... I was first shown evidence of this with the "Mount St. Helens" project .... and am blown away again by this one! |

I detect a touch of something from Sergeant Pepper as well, or maybe Rubber Soul, can't decide. Very cool work here from both of you Michael. Takes me to the Beatles straight away, and I love it. Kudos to you for the vocals in all their intricacy, it's wonderful. Ed |

Very good Bryn does have a Midas touch, and you have taken that on board as well and made it Platinum. This is really good. Mind you I do like Floyd, Air and Bowie, but having said that this is original and again very nice. Well produced and brilliant collab. P.s. I too am really looking forward to hearing Bryn's version. |

Lyrics? Any chance we can have a read of them? The music sounds beautiful and Lush, like you said. I like the little music box keys that come in somewhere...adds a little color, and then they seamlessly disappear. |

pretty cool. i'm looking forward to Bryn's take.
