Judging by the feedback we’re getting (especially on MySpace), we can only conclude that you’re enjoying listening to these works in progress, so (click to play/right-click to download):

Hot on the heels of Other People (which seemed more popular than we expected), Nothing Can Stop You Being Mine is another piano-based slow song, except this time with a finger-twisting bassline (I should know). It’s a bit on the quiet side, so you’ll have to turn your speakers up.

Obviously, vocals are still to come, and some of what you hear needs tidying up. The chorus (when the piano stops and mellotron starts) will eventually have heavy rhythm guitar on it, and we’ve got a great solo lined up for just after the big build-up section. As always, let us know what you think!

Here, meanwhile, are the other demos we’ve previously uploaded:
