ya floored me here, man

I won't repeat what I said at Songcrafters. You know I love this song. And all the others ... :)

Yes this is simply cool/would sound nice live.

One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!

Great song-writing - awesome delivery!

Think this melody would translate magically to a music box. Beautiful and bittersweet song. My, your vox are astounding.

You rule

Great song, love the sudden change of tempo in the middle. Really enjoying your voice! Perfect diction!

Nice ballad Andy. Pretty good piano playing if you ask me. Lots more goodies here for me to listen to - and listen I shall, as soon as time permits.

Hi, Andy! I just joined the site. Good to find all your great music here. :) Regards, Steffen

Interesting work.good live sounds.The voice is sometimes strong and powerful ,but yet becomes soft and delicate in other moments.Well,thank you for your comment about our songs.Bye!

Impressive work!

Very nice song, love the vocals, strat tones, great lyrics. I like the atmosphere too, very well done.

Interesting song.

great tune, tone, playing, vocal, writing...kickin'

wow...just wow...great stuff here...

Simply stunning........

Great voice and playing. I'd offer to swap some of my guitar expression for some of your vocal expression, but your guitaring is cool as well :)

"You've buggered my day's recording!! I was meant to be working on a folkie thing... now I'm gonna be putting on the strat and reaching for the pedals!" Ha ha! Sorry about that...nothing wrong with putting on the strat tho' Cool track by the way :)

This has a hell of a swagger to it! Fine sounding guitar tones!

I'm listening to your tracks while I'm emailing in another window. Loving it all. This one made me come and have a look - I'm so glad it's called Home. I very much like the concept of "home", always have, always will.

Oh this is wonderful. It's woken me up (7am) and relaxed me at the same time.

This one's really growing on me. And I didn't notice the story behind it when I was first listening (although I suspected something along those lines from the song itself). A sad tale, but a gorgeous song.

Wonderful listening. I've got a piano, but it don't work like that one does. That was superb.

Yeah, this one rolls along real nice.

The "Ahhhhhs" (Sleeping with the Ghost)- it's just patience, close mic-ing and using your "head voice" (try and sing as much like a girl as you can lol). And then for "harder" sounds, "wail" at it. Lots of voices with uniform performances produce "smooth" and "rich"; less and varied performances (as in not the same everytime) produce sharper sounds. Mix the two up as necessary in layers. Also think about recording the "breath" in the notes as well. You're actually getting VERY close to it with the vox on here - think about using different tones of voice and it will all become clear :) Also there's a bunch of EQing tricks - a cut at 3K (Q 1.0) on the bvox will increase the breathy, soft sound (and keep them out of the way of the lead).

Oh I'll listen to it again here... Awwwwwww... Complete class.

Listening to it on songcrafters right now - this is BRILLIANT. Love it to pieces. Utterly brilliant.

Cheers folks :) This one is (out of what I've managed to record so far) actually my favourite AR song. I am hopefully about to post, hopefully today, a remix of it - the mess-up on the EQ has always p1ssed me off so much. For me this version isn't anything like it should have been. What I've got sat upstairs on the desk waiting for me, same performances, is a lot closer... But, that's just me, so I'm gonna leave this one here in case anyone prefers this approach (and I've got various links pointing at it that I can't be bothered to find and sort out!! lol)

Now, you see what you miss when someone isn't "followed"? lol This is fab too. Actually, I don't think I've listened to anything of yours since mebbe a year or so back on songcrafters. Well, I'll be back later and check it all out.

Actually, same here - hadn't clicked that button Follow button on yours either - fixed now! Might as well listen to this again while I'm doing it lol That chorus is brilliant. The backing vox, and then those descending chords at the end of it.

Back for another slice... and this is even better than I thought... but I've already clicked fave... typical Tie the woman to the chair, stick the headphones on her and make her listen (that's what I do lol)

Sigh... :)

Really tasty guitar addition to an already fab song. Nice one guys :)

... But this one's just amazing. You've got more like this up your sleeve - mebbe not written yet - but I'm pretty sure you've got them just waiting to come out.

Woo, listening to them again, and this one's a grower. It was late when I was first listening, and this one is stuck between two special ones, and it didn't force it's attention so much. But it's a cutie on it's own.

Oh yes. This sums up late nights perfectly for me.

I love all three. But this is the one that does it most for me. I love the swing of it, those "icing" guitars, and the song... woo Excellent work, sir. More!

Loving these vocals. I'm listening on crappy pc speakers, but big sound, and I love how those vocals sit on top of it.

Yep, another goodie.
