A review by Nathan Stokes

(about "Take It Over") This is funky and fun to listen to put you in a great mood. The key element of bass is all there I love funk music for bass! This is a tight sound and the piano goes really well here. The vocals are good go well too. Catchy tune! Nathan Stokes, London, Ontario, Canada

A review by Jose O'Cohen

(about "Take It Over") Piano: Very tasty intro! The comping on the verses is in the pocket but I wish that part had a bit more variation. Cool changes in the chorus. Production: A mixed bag for me. I'm diggin on the 'Kamakiriad' feel to the groove but was wishing for a 'real' guitar track to pop up somewhere. The rhythm guitar in the chorus doesn't really work for me but the other sections do groove well, especially for a Triton source? Mood: Somewhere between Steely Dan and Squeeze. Overall: Groovey.

A review by Graham Allward

(about "Take It Over") ..it's a kind of Jazz / Funk Wedding Present hybrid,the clav sounds spiking in there is picking up the "one" and the voice is effected in an interesting way, not the most fantastic singing, but strangely compelling (hence the David Gedge comparison). All the instruments are comfortable in what I consider to be a good mix for a demo. No over the top jazz twiddling, will be listened to again by myself, good work chaps.

A review by Chris King

(about "Take It Over") Great bass work... kinda reminds me of Early Southern Gospel.... there's a little mid missing.... something really not there to keep that middle.... kinda makes the recording flat... even during the chorus it's still missing that middle... I think the piano is a little overpowering.... maybe bring it down a little in the mix... but overall the song is good! Chris King, Charleston, Virginia

A review by 'Skeebo' Knight

(about "Take It Over") The piano and the rhodes sound very good. The organ underneath adds even more soul, it might be cool to feature it a little more in the mix. The groove feels good. The tune has a cool relaxed jazzy funky mood with a nice Steely Dan vibe. The vocals are smooth and soulful. I like the positive and upbeat lyrics. The production is excellent: five stars with extra credit. Very nice work! 'Skeebo' Knight, Macon, Georgia

A review by Eric Lazar

(about "Take It Over") Production is great. The drums have a good funk sound, keys are a hair loud in the mix, but I love the chord changes. Vocals are interesting and remind me of Steely Dan for some reason. Eric Lazar, Sacramento, California

A review by Krystian Winn

(about "Take It Over") Funky beat dude! Rad bass line! Nailed it to the floor! Awesome! Keys are flying! Keep it up! Krystian Winn, Truro, UK
