Staggerman - this is good! I love its elegant simplicity. You create a soft, intimate feel on this and the uncluttered mix with beautiful, haunting piano line makes for a very reflective feeling. Unforced, simple and relaxed vibe with excellent playing and production. I will be listening to this again. I came across you through Glocke from East Germany who did some great guitar over one of your jazz tracks. Really enjoyed this!
2nd review as more thoughts struck:
Backing is dark, almost Goth, atonal disturbing, total deconstruction of the original, stripped of the confetti and candy floss, this is a menacing, brooding take on something, more Dexter (involvement in the macabre and digging it) than any love story boy/girl thing. Modern brutalism of the bass is superb, reminding me of a slowed down Clash, Paul Simenon quasi Dub bass via Jah Wobble, in post-modern minimalism. Drums with shakers, tambourine and percussion sound good, especially crack of the snare, but more editing out to give light & shade and let those scything chops of electroshock guitar do their work. Also reminds me of Portishead.
2. Her Vocals! Why is she not famous already? This is Sandy Denny's evil twin sister, some PJ Harvey in there too, but then again, totally original; the vocals will stand more of the backing doing less, but the backing is fine in itself. Spine=chilling voice
What a mean bass line; it drives the piece along, I like that chugging guitar that comes in half way through that fleshes out the notes. Vocals are great - what a voice. Hard to classify into genre but amazing stuff and a firm favourite of a song I would never have believed I would listen to with any great pleasure until now. The dark side of desire

very, very nice, soulful, melancholic, stirring, profound, beautiful, stately, magisterial, composed. The drums surprised me a little but i got used to them. Wonderful stuff! Like to hear more.
thanks for listening and take the time for this, i am glad you find it wonderfull much appreciated.
you get the feeling in this song and that my friend is great.
