Ah - I didn't realise it wasn't the final mix - maybe that is why it sounded a bit uneven.
Funny Little Frog was ok - you can hear it on Mark Radcliffe's show

until Tuesday night, I expect (on Listen Again). It was quirky, the lyrics sounded interesting, but I wasn't grabbed by it. Someone texted the show to say that it sounded like some other, bit obscure, track, which is getting to be a trend. Not necessarily a bad thing, but..
I haven't relistened to the show again (it 90mins), and the track is in the first half hour, I think).

I'd guess that Stuart's voice sounds so distant because this isn't the final mix of the record.
I missed Funny Little Frog, how does it sound?
Thanks

I heard the Funny Frog toon on Mark Radcliffe...is it just me or does Stuart now always sound like he is singing in the room next door from everyone else? Such a wee wee voice.
It reminds me of the Black Sabbath stories of the album recordings after Ozzy and Bill Ward left, when Ronnie Dio and Vinny Appice were turning down the guitars, and Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi were turning down the drums and vocals and the sound engineer turned ot the bottle, and that is a good story..
Take care
