Hah! I had to google that, but it amused me. Maybe I should add Bananarama
to our list of influences? ;)

> Only the drum mix sounds rather nondescript. From personal experience 
Yes, drums are the hardest thing and I'm very definitely still learning
there. The drummer also used a borrowed (my) kit rather than his own for
the recordings. I've promised him that next time we'll track using his
own kit :)

Hah, yes. That china is quite distinctive, but sometimes I think it needs
to be place in the next room ;)

> I'd say on the line between Flower Kings an Spock's Beard.
That's interesting. I think the rest of the band would be surprised by that
but the two tracks I used as reference recordings when mixing and mastering
were "In The Eyes Of The World" and "On A Perfect Day". I kid ye not!

Thank you very much for the detailed feedback :)
