Thanks alot Spiv for your honest opinion and I appreciate your preference alot (that's what I wanted from reviewers anyway), it's only that I just can't figure out where in the world do you hear those artifacts?? I'm not saying you don't, but I don't hear any or just my ears don't serve me anymore, yet I'm almost sure there must be some other issue to cause that. Regarding bitrate...well, to be honest I decided for a bit lower bitrate cause I'm already running out of available space and furthermore I think that higher bit rate wouldn't make any audible difference since it's still just compressed mp3 and we would need an option to upload lossless wav files to achieve any noticeable difference. 99% of the people would agree that they don't hear any difference between lets say 192kbps and 320kbps, and most of them even wouldn't distinct mp3 from wav.

The second thing which makes me surprised is when you're saying you're not sure that these are even different takes?? Would be interesting to hear what exactly do you mean by that?

Anyways, regardless all enigmas, thank you so much for your valuable time for listening and your willingness to
write this comparative review....so much appreciated!:)

Hope all is well_____Orlando

Bonjour Dan...Je suis bien.:)

I would hardly say that the guitar was influenced by Ed and I had no intention to copy his style or in any way substitute his presence or even compete with him ( for me that would be completely impossible anyway), but I simply wished to do something a bit different from my point of view and so it happened, but there will be another version of the song uploaded in a few days later, so you're kindly invited to the comparison event when it starts !

Many thanks for your continuos support...means alot,

Leon

At least something...haha....thanks Anders!:)

With appreciation____Orlando

Many thanks for listening and all your positive thoughts!:)

With appreciation_____Orlando

On the contrary, my dear friend....the ol guy on the prairies was the first who correctly predicted that this might cause some positive buzz around here...so that "Bravo" goes to you Ed...:)

Now it seems that we shouldn't bother too much about this one when one of the biggest artists on LM extaticly gave it "10/10" (btw he completely dismissed my previous 2 uploads...haha...) and when our good friend Wayne says : "Can't say I hear anything I would change, it's pretty darn awesome!" (I like this one...haha..)
I wouldn't be saying all these silly things, but...somehow....and I don't know why...I like this shit !:)

However, as I promised...I will give you a new version...soon...and in case I let you down again (probabilities aren't low...haha...) I'll go on vacation and stay there as long as possible...haha...

And ofcourse, thank you so much for stopping by...even if just for a short peek...:)

I'll be in touch_____Leon

As first, sorry for a bit late reply Wayne. Yours and Danke's ears were both right...this is in fact a collab with Ed, but the piece was put here more for the test than anything else and it will be followed by another version of
basically same song....kindly invited to listen and compare when it's uploaded in next few days.
Yet. I'm really glad for such a positive feedback and I have to say many thanks for that and for the fav! Always a pleasure Wayne !:)

With much appreciation____Orlando

Thank you kindly sir...much appreciated!:)

All the best_____Orlando

So nice to read your positive response...many thanks for listening and support mate!:)

With much appreciation_____Orlando

I'm accepting your compliments with open hands...Thank you so much for listening and for the kind words of support!:)

With much apreciation____Orlando

First, sorry for the late reply but the delay had it's purpose. You have very good ears my friend cause this is indeed collab with Ed, it's just that the things are a bit upside down...Ed didn't touch his guitar in this one, so I decided this time around for something guitarish to contribute which is not really a thing for me to do, so I already prepaired another version with more obvious instrumentation choices, which will be (probably) uploaded a bit later and will offer some comparison. Yet, I'm already happy tha tyou see this as positive stuff and I have no reason not to trust my dear neighbour and friend...:) So thanks alot for all the supportive thoughts and for the 'fav' and 'dl'...means alot!:)

With much appreciation_____Orlando
