Firstly I shall add my thanks to TheBang - can you believe it but I had Tongey playing in the kitchen but was watching Dr Who, so mised it!!
I am asuming the slightly muffled/cotton wool audio is owing to the internet thingey of the file (Tongey sounds as if he has a cold) - otherwise methinks I shouldn't be too hastey to judge. If I am honest, the cocoon version is one of my fav u/w tracks - the bassey bassline, karl's deep voccoder-a-thon vocals, and the gentle snare/cymbal rythm in-fills ammount to a truly sublime track. This version, in comparison, seems a bit too busy. However, a) I will doubtless grow to love it on its own merits, and b) it maybe a single mix and therefore subtly different from the album version.
Ultimately, I trust karl, rick and darren to give us an utterly beautiful cd come October
