Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 12:05:53 +0800 From: Bill Busch <mrnaturl1@gmail.com> Subject: In the now Probably because not everyone has the same taste, regardless if it's the same artist. Just as well some liked Now Voyager, still others hated it. I also have no illusion I'll be hearing Barry Gibb/Bee Gees. I will note that someone calling this a MASTERPIECE just goes to show that from some people it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to be objective. I've only managed one listen. I didn't dislike the song but it didn't make me want to listen immediately again. I'm way over the breathy voice crap. If a song grabs me, I will know on first play then play it repeatedly for a while. I've had no chance to see/hear the 360 show as the Internet where I am vacationing is just too poor to stream anything. Hopefully it will still around when I get home 5 weeks from (not in the) now.. Regards, Bill ====================================================Date: Sat, 20 Aug 2016 10:38:24 +0100 From: Robin Setty Subject: In the now Don't get some of the negativity about the song. I think it's considerably stronger than tracks such as dr mann, underworld, Great ghost and other stuff since TIWICI. It has a very strong hook. I think the lyrics are clever and subtle and whilst I know that Barry's voice is not what it once was, he sure uses it very very well and I really like the harmonies. I also am very impressed by the guitar phrases (is that Steve?) And the keyboard. Very excited about this project. Kilburn Towers. Back to top

I'm not fond of 'Star Crossed Lovers'. Sounds like something I'd hear in the dentist office. But I do like the 'Illusion' song. Has a rock feel to it. As I said earlier, the title song is not bad. The worst part of the songs are Barry's vocals. He is struggling. I for one can't hear where Barry is using his voice in an effective manner. That ship has sailed. I wonder if some truly believe Barry sounds good singing anything or is it merely, they can't accept the fact that his voice went down for a dirt nap years ago. If this were some unknown singer, would I still hear that his vocals are great? And "he's in g But far be it for me to dispel anyone's notion on what they feel are quality vocals.
