Was enraptured by this song and mix the instant it started playing. Wow Paul, thank you once again for a stupendous musical introduction. And the 12-inch is EPIC!! They just don’t make ’em like this anymore. And there’s nothing better than getting new music courtesy of you. Like Daniel says, you are a “music angel.”
