Another great track. I need to listen to this a few dozen more times, but my first thoughts are: this is really nice. I'd probably tighten up the vocals, but then again it's obvious you were after that particular sound. The end is great, from the break. I love it. Again it reminds me of the pixies, with some little bits of (sorry) status quo ;) I got very excited when I noticed that you had something else for us to listen to, and I wasn't disappointed. > > shayne > > -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.
