Interesting to hear the vocal, which is very good, treated in a way that is more associated with electronica dance music artists and so call R&B.

A simple song, good tune, tight rhythm section with a bit of the feel of American AM rock about it, though it's still clinging on to a post punky-brit-pop thing.

They'd have to bland this out a bit more for the States I think.

Nail on head as ever Mr C. Thanks for the homestead pics - looks lovely, but rather you than me!!

I think their producer should leave the knobs alone - I spent the first 30 seconds trying to figure out what was wrong with my headphones. I then got a bit annoyed by the oh so obvious overdubbing of the voice.

Underneath there was a cracking song.

Did anyone else hear similar harmonies to Yes towards the end of the song? Brings back nightmares to me but I know many others think differently.

I can hear All Of My Heart by ABC in there. Are we talking latter day Yes?

I get a Tales Of The Topographic Oceans shudder down my back. It is almost a taste for me - a cloying sweetness.

I'll try and replace it with a remembrance of ABC...
