This sounds really good, but it sounds like the bass drum is clipping rather badly ...

its really good if a bit muffled sounding. great synth work and you have a good voice although I would have liked a tad more reverb or delay on it and more double tracking.nice housy drums.I'm actually impressed you went for this song cause its a pretty complex tune.
I always love hearing covers much more than remixes.sometime I might get around to that when I buy a good mic.

what program did you use to record it?

I chose this one because I think it's one of the best songs the boys have made in years.
The vocal part is very tricky indeed. It took me ages to get it right.
My studio setup is powered by a computer running steinberg cubase 5. It's a wonderful application and helps to make good vocals too!

Fix the drum sound and it will be alright. Sounds terrible!

This is AWESOME.

Superbly produced/performed as always, spEE, but this is the best you've done, in my opinion.

Hey, very good indeed! But if I can complain about something, I think the voice is too prominent.

>I think the voice is too prominent

Actually it is. I choose too keep it quite loud because new pet shop boys stuff is mixed this way (see: all over the world and IDOSAC new versions).
