I demo`d this song a while back, and could never get a sound that suited it, I sent it to regular boarder and producer Big End, who put the whole thing together with a band from up in his neck of the woods, a full 400 miles from my house, and they came up with this version, which has turned what would have been a rather sad song into a joyous and fun story of philandering.

I thought the girls were fab, it was interesting to not have my own girl`s local accents on the backing vocals, and fascinating to not know what was being done to my song, by people I had not met yet.
There is a film of the event as well, which will follow.

I want to like this Martin... but... (didn't you know it )

Wake Up Screaming is sailing close to a cover, can't put my finger on the track but it's really ringing bells.

I lke the production ideas but the overall thing is a bit dull and flat - no top end. Frankly I think you are still looking for that sound that suits it.

Much prefered Sabrinesque and Take a minute - the quality of the recording over screaming stands out immediately.

I am totally happy with your opinions Zoo, particularly as you have mentioned other tracks which I have done, so cheers for that, it shows you are listening!
"Screaming" seemed to write itself, but I can`t put my finger on where it was coming from either. When a song comes that easy to me, I find I back-check myself so much to see where I found it from.

Ideas on a postcard to.....

Not my fave of yours either. The drums are quite far back and sound like a machine on one pattern. I'd have tuned the vocals around the second and alternate lines at the start of the song as it does grate a
little, but I don't feel a "perfect" vocal would suit you, your sound is a bit too raw for that.

It's quite fun though.

thanks for the input guys...if it sounds remotely "fun" to you, then I've succeeded with this one...rough, ready and in yer face suitable for the genre and audience.

That said, I do think another set of ears at the mastering stage is desirable just to give things a bit more edge.
