Very creative - I love the piano part. Not sure about the drums, they felt as if they were flown in from another song - everything else held together really coherently. But that's subjective. Cool track.

Thanks for the responses.

That's pretty much how it was assembled. The basic track, done in one take, without rehearsal, is the grand piano and BassStation playing along with the Pocket Operator bassline. I edited the resulting track in a few places, then added all of the overdubs, EQing, etc. The drums aren't from another song as such, but they are added 'dry' in Reason, whereas the basic track has the emptyish acoustics of the church where we recorded it.
