This has the conspiracy feel about it! Lots of spys in long trench coats and hats covering their eyes so we cannot see that beneath their disguise lies an image of ourselves!

Wow that was deep and meaningless but I felt it had to be said:)

Like this a lot. Good sounds but you know I got this feeling half way through that I wanted the tempo to be ranked up so the whole thing went sprinting along! Probably just a subconcious reaction to the trench coat!

High standard as always!

Thanks for your review RadioTimes, I always look forward to your comments (they never lack word content :o). Cheers!

I like the dark atmosphere of this one very much and think that it is enhanced by the tempo of the song. As always, it’s a real pleasure listening to your stuff.

Thanks very much Sub (I guess thats your cc nickname?!?). It’s obviously always a pleasure to hear that people enjoy listening as much as I do.

Packed full of chromatical darkness. That piano at 3:13 though. That’s some tripped out stuff. I love it!

I had forgot all about my Dub Pistols albums… But…

This song isn’t anything like any other scottaltham track I’ve heard. I still know it is your track. Yeah sometimes music can be cross compared, but you have the ability to take a song and make it your own.

Well done.

Hey Raven, Glad you liked this track. I’m conscious of the fact (as I suppose all mixers maybe) of not sounding the same all of the time. We try and break out of our ‘music fingerprint’ which forms in a track whether we try to make it that way or not. Obviously its nice to be recognised by our musical style, thats how the subconcious links random tracks by the same artist. But to at least display an ability to move away slightly and introduce a curve ball is a good thing to accomplish. So your comments are greatfully received as always! Cheers :o)

i like the ebb and flow feel to the synth wash stuff and your beats are really great. mix fits the vocals really really well. very cool mix and really well produced.

Great atmosphere- as others have said, fits the pella nicely, and is a bit of a departure from your usual signature sound, though still definitely a scottaltham track. There’s a slight tongue-in-cheek quality to the synth line, though that could just be me…

You know this has something of a Genesis vibe about it , especially with that mono Moog solo line.

Like a segue track off Lamb lies down on Broadway part two.

Nicely Slushy :-)
