I regret to be the only one with a nit, but I'd bring the vocal up just a bit.  I can hardly hear it in the mix.  Other than that, the track is fantastic.

Thanks John B! I live for Nit so no worries :) Unfortunately (and for the sake of everybodys ears!) making the vocals louder for this one doesn't do any good. I mumbled - half sung - whispered the vocals as a sketch while wife was sleeping so the audio quality and the performance is really weak. I just winged it with one low vocal part and one slightly higher. I'm not probably even singing all the words everytime :D This is a style i can't handle. I actually did try to sing it and it sounded horrible (i never even listened to it back :)). So this is more about the overall vibe and guitars i think.

You channeled Marc Bolan – I'm getting a "Bang a Gong" vibe from the whole thing – which redeems the song. (It's hard for me to separate this song from its racist, homophobe, regressive songwriter.)

I remember this from back in the day. How could I not? It was on constant FM radio rotation back then!

Not a huge Nuge fan, but there's no denying those guitars rock! You nailed the style and the Rockman tone is the biz. I've got to dig mine up - I know have it squirreled away someplace around here.

Well done, Z!
