I like it. Much.

Porco, reminds me a bit of your stuff too
It's just a syncopated 4/4 though, isn't it?

The bass part in the middle sounds like a bass to my ears, but slightly distorted and with a mild, very conservative, chorus effect.

That'll do.

(I rather like it; it sounds just like the Manics.)
Accurate spoof is accurate.

I actually quite like it! Quite dark and kind of reminiscent of the Lifeblood/Truth eras. I'd prefer it with James' vocals, but hey ho, can't have it all. I like the drums and the bassy bit in the middle too.

those wanting a download link, please stop following the Franny path of being lazy.

it's sat there on You Tube, install a dl plug in on firefox or simply google for web pages that do it for you without installing plug ins.

It's lovely, very Lifeblood.

I like it! I think it sounds Truthy, SYMMesque. The drums at the start sound a bit like Africa by Toto. Very promising if its a hint of the direction they're going

Not bad, better than the plodding rock heard on PCFAYM, needs some vocals though.

I dig it. Sounds like their escaping the dilapidated town of PFAYMesque material, heading for the sunny pastures of something more interesting and melodic.

It could easily pass as a Lifeblood b-side which is always a good thing.

Well,when I read that was going to be an instrumental track I was a bit disappointed but now I like it,sounds very Lifeblood as others already said.Some James's singing would make it perfect.

The vocals are almost identical to much of it!

Thanks Franny, that's a nice compliment.

<PLUG> But is Franny correct, ladies and gentlemen? Only you can decide! See link in sig. <PLUG>

I like the song, it's interesting. Everyone's contributions sound great! Dem drums! Dat bass! Dat piano! Doesn't really go anywhere, but it's nice, and yes, definitely interesting. It seems more an idea of potential than a finished product, but I like what it suggests about what is to come. I love Graham Sutherland as well, so I appreciate the title

I want singing.

I'm nothing if not constant

Otherwise, rather pleasant.

Also, totally would not be surprised if I learned that Nicky composed it entirely.
