STIL comment	"Thing On A Spring was actually something I wrote to test my first driver." "TOAS never had it. So the middle section has nothing to do with the tune (bad). The 3rd section also has nothing to do with the tune but just fitted the tempo and feel so well...." (RH)

peebee:
I think this is a really good, different, interpretation of a classic Hubbard tune - give the guy a break!! At least it's happy and refreshing! Stop being nit-picky and enjoy!!
djdaemon:
Nice but long
Quarex:
Probably a minute or so too much Spring here, and the intro sounds like it belongs with another song entirely. But individually, pieces of this song sound really good.
omoroca:
Something's wrong with the mixing, but I can't say what it is. Sounds dirty somehow. I don't like it.
lisawolf:
Promising, but it gets dull very quickly.
Waz:
The idea was promising enough, but it's been let down by the execution. The opening promises much but as the tune carries on it delivers little. Needs tweaking in terms of mixing and incorrect melody notes.
eliot:
I already told u via email 😉
k_rostoen:
Several times during this tune I get the feeling that it is building up to something big… But then the air goes out of the balloon. It never takes off.
Skitz:
So much promise, lovely kick, nice trancey samples and then… Poof… It stumbles.
Tas:
Thought this was gonna build into a cracker after a slick opening but it just didn't happen sadly.
LaLa:
Not much here to keep my interest. Gets boring pretty fast.
weasel:
Similar here. First 30-60 secs are promising… When the beat started it pulls it down. Later in the mixing - the part with the techno-organ (~1:15-2:15) is also a nice idea but was executed to simpel kind of. Doesn't meet the _absolute_ earworm original!
drm:
It's an ok tune but it's too slow. Speed it up if you download it to make it about a minute shorter.
romeo_knight:
Dance style does not match the Thingonaspring-feeling IMO. Production could be worse though.
Makke:
It's alright. Does the job, but only that. The beat gets a bit boring after five minutes…
Dan:
Thought this was gonna be nice when it first started but deteriorated after that and the lead at around 2:38 is just awful
