The other day, via Email , an exciting thing happened: we were sent a version of 'First Failed Escape' that had been mastered by a professional music engineer.
I can't remember the guys name now, (silly me,) but he's started working in Metaphorm studios, where we were recording the song last year.

Anyway once we'd got it off the computer, we eagerly had a listen to song: the mix was wonderfully clean, the vocals sounded great, as did the instruments.
All good news then?
Unfortunately not: listen closely, particularly to the choruses, (I've posted a link to the recording below,) and you'll notice the lead vocal has been auto tuned a little too much, so that it now hits a couple of strange wrong notes.
Even more noticeably, (if you know the song that is,) is that the high backing vocal on the choruses, has been ever so slightly moved, so that it now comes in earlier, and more weirdly, then it used to.
Hopefully though those will be easy enough things to remedy, and then we'll be one step closer to that W!LD EP.

All the best, 
Louis.
