Groovy backer simple but very effective are those the empty lockdown Gin bottles in the break.....nothing coming down with this track excellent collaboration chaps

Holy hell I love this minimilistic masterpiece. Everythings perfect about this gem of a tune. Well done.
Rock on!

Yeah fantastic. It's got some really strange/curious sounds that go so well with those great off the wall lyrics. Definitely one to make you ponder... those old images of those guys trying to fly are facinating, but they've been brilliantly worked into a very cool song here. Requires a couple of listens to properly appreciate. Great stuff lads.

Very nice indeed. An 80s ish feel but a different angle with those various synth noises and stabs coming in all over the place. I really ike the middle part from about 2:53, some nice sounds and clever melodies in that. And I love the fruity bass sounds all over this, I presume those are all bass synths? I like that bass line underpinning the whole track, very noicely done.

Brilliant lyrics from Tim, some fab imagery there and a really nice performance that suits the music so well. Great mix as well, plenty of bottom end punch without getting out of control. Very nicely done indeed guys!

I'd recommend having a look at the Surge virtual synth - it's free and from here: https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/

And there is a funky VST host if you can't be bothered with a DAW here: https://www.cantabilesoftware.com/download/

The not so fruity bass is the Poly-D.
