    thanks, just wanted to add this.

    Slightly off topic, but, without googling or imdb-ing, which of the above list of people appears in an episode of Father Ted? (UK comedy set in Ireland)

    Really like this. It's dark and melodic, and very "new" sounding. I like the dynamic between the verse and chorus. It's reminds me of Darkness but is much more concise (and stronger for it).

    it’s an amazing track. It took a while, but this is far better than Panopticom and it shows Peter is still able to create stunning stuff. It has a little PGIV flair actually. :thumbup:

    Quote from FeelItComing

    I'm not that crazy about either of them to be honest, but I'm sure I will get to like them.

    No, neither is top notch, I've been wondering whether my assessment is the result of too long a wait or pent-up expectations but after several listens I simply believe they are average songs.
