Very cool Larry. I can only get bits and pieces at a time with my crummy internet connection but it sounds great. I especially like the high bass part in the second song. Rock On! :D

If you like that one, you would really like the piece we do called "Committed". Thanks for your comments!

I started by putting them through my Avalon U5 and selecting different tone settings as per the part and straight into ProTools Digi 002 at first(operated by a Titanium Power Book)nothing was amped then mic'd. BUT the biggest 'help' was during mixing of "out of the silent" when I was able to take everything out of the digital domain and run it through Avalon 737s and Joe Meek and Drawmer compressors and API eqs...... but it is still almost entirely the Bongo and the SR5 at various times, any fretless though is a Mollerup fretless5 custom.
thx for the comments.

We've just finished a new song.

I'll get it available ASAP, I don't even have a copy myself yet!

Good stuff mobay, very good, I have been humming 'I Don't Know' for the last half hour!!!!!

Cheers,

Steve.

Having the song stuck in your head - that's what it's all about! Thanks Steve!

Pete, I hope we can get the CD finished sometimes soon. Although all of the recording, mixing and mastering have been done, we're taking care of all the legal stuff and cover design right now. We think it will probably be finished sometimes in February.

On that note, somethign which may be of interest......

We used to have a TV programme here called the Old Grey Whistle test. Used to showcase loads of new music, live in the studio.

I never knew what the title meant until I recently heard it goes like this.....

Years ago in one of the old record pressing plants, the record company would play new tunes through the factory PA.

If one of the older fellas in the pressing plant liked a tune or it stuck in their heads, they would invariably whistle it. These guys wore grey overalls and were known as 'Old Greys'.

So if a tune was good enough to warrant a whistling, it had passed the Old Grey Whistle test.
