Kara Square 8203 Reviews	. permalink Mon, Jul 23, 2012 @ 12:58 PM Excellent. I certainly love a good folk rock song… you two certainly delivered. Yeah.
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:19 AM Thanks, it’s easy to extend already great original.
Javolenus 2241 Reviews	. permalink Mon, Jul 23, 2012 @ 1:47 PM Hey man, thanks for this—really terrific! Everything is spot on—instrumentation, arrangement, production, and overall vibe. And your additions are superb—especially how you fleshed out the vocals. And nice little touches like adding delays here and there. The strings are also lovely, especially when they resolve to the relative minor—another nice touch. Yeah, you really took a lot of care with this and it shows. Great snare sound too. I think this should be the theme tune to the TV London Olympic coverage—let’s release it as a single! Thanks guv! P.S. I see from your profile that you like cheese & biscuits—kudos, man—me too!

	. permalink Javolenus Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 12:30 AM Good point—yesterday I had cheesy bread plus cheese, followed by cheesecake! Just thinking: cheese is good for you, isn’t it???
	. permalink Numeron Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 12:36 AM Definitely! I don’t buy into all that ‘low fat’ nonsense, and being happy eating cheese is much healthier than being unhappy and not eating cheese! Doctor Numeron also prescribes a good glass of red wine to wash it down!
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:50 AM Hear, hear!
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:23 AM Thanks, guv. It was all so easy for me, because the original was kinda ready already. Cheese FTW!
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 3:10 AM Updated the file now. There were some minor “mistakes” in my arrangement that were buggin me, so I had to fix them.
	. permalink Javolenus Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 3:27 AM Just listened again—superb mix, an instant classic!
Admiral Bob 3852 Reviews	. permalink Mon, Jul 23, 2012 @ 4:08 PM The Proclaimers backed by Pink Floyd, fronted by Lou Reed… I like the simple and slightly adorned arrangement turning into a big airy production. And I especially like how the vocal has been left front and centre.
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:27 AM Thanks. Yeah, I can definitely hear a strong Roger Waters (one of my fav song writers) vibe in the original.
radiotimes 980 Reviews	. permalink Mon, Jul 23, 2012 @ 6:34 PM Great original idea from Javolenus with a wonderful vocal and lyrics. Then you took it and added some great sounds and vox treatment. This is confirmation of the Burl Ives musical philosophy.. “Keep the chords to the minimum and let the magic do the rest”!
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:28 AM Thanks. Yes, the original was already a strong one - I just added small bits and pieces.
Numeron 314 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 12:14 AM Fantastic! Definitely a modern day anthem - I can imagine Oasis playing this with the whole stadium singing along
	. permalink Javolenus Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 12:32 AM That’s a nice thought! Zep took a simple song demo and created a radio-ready anthem.
	. permalink Zep Hurme Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 2:30 AM Ello, guvna! Thanks. I have the same vibe here.
copperhead 1913 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 7:59 AM Well I was singing along. You should put out a feeler for as many peeps to sing that chorus as possible! That would be cool :)
	. permalink Joel Frijters Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 8:57 AM I’m on it… I have seen this idea a couple times on ccMixter but this time it will work! Recording now… uploading soon… Cheers!
Dysfunction_AL 389 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 8:18 AM Very cool !.. I like all the package here, nice composition, choice of sounds, guitar chords, mixing/mastering, and that sound which seems to come from my surrounding, it gives a nice “live concert” sensation at the song.
timberman 2277 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 10:12 AM What a jewel. Timeless stuff for generations to come. One of your best in my opinion.
colab 1986 Reviews	. permalink Tue, Jul 24, 2012 @ 10:54 AM Hahah. “After 6 beers every song is a good song”. Love it. I haven’t had 6 beers, and it’s still excellent.
