The Practical Gardener - AndyR Original (Remastered)

[Kenneth]

Wow!
This is great Andy.  Total pro track. Everything about it, the recording,  vocals, playing- killer.

Looking at it say from a person who doesn't record music, ( I  try to imagine how my wife hears it).. you would say, "what album is this on"?
Yea, rambling here because the thoughts are not coming to me at this early hour, but I'm  feeling the power and emotion.  You know your "stuff"!
Terrific track.

Another stunner Andy.

Yes - I definitely get the hints of Floyd and Anderson - but just to throw another one in there - perhaps a hint of Muse?  But stunningly you of course.

Brilliant.

I was commenting on Frank53's Long Shadows, suggesting I get a Procol Harum vibe, and then I remembered how I laughed when I saw this comment Paul!!

I know of Muse. I think my niece, now in her 30s, is/was into them. And once, on a car journey, we (me and Mrs R) had them played to us by my sister cos she happened to have her daughter's CDs in the car (but she proceeded to talk over it so I couldn't really concentrate!)

But I have no real idea what Muse is like or what they do. All I have at the moment is that I know they're something I would probably like if I started looking into them, and they're "on the list" for one day...

[Hook]

Damn! I mean it brother, Damn!
Rock on!

[Ray Brookes]

Great work, Andy. This is an epic rock experience with stellar production techniques in play. The whole arrangement of the song with the light and shade passages is excellent too and a great vocal performance is the icing on the cake.

Just love this. The dynamics are incredible and so effective. The guitar solo is off the scale -  love it.

Been about a year since this one came out and just before I joined SC

When i first heard this I wasn't that crazy about it....but I have learned that many times those are the ones I will end up liking the most...I downloaded this and added it to my SC thumbdrive that I listen to often driving in the car...sometimes on trips for hours at a time...
I heard this again today and the more I hear it the more I like it...it's a massive track and to think the whole thing was recorded and mixed on the BR1600....that is impressive work Andy...this is a bit like a lost PF track.. it's just that big and that good...
admittedly I don't get to listen to alot of Andy's work because most of is linked to a site I cannot get on at work and that is where I listen to alot of music...
