Congratulations, Stephen.

BTW making early 2002 is perhaps a tough call by now, though...

Agreed - though we are really going to try!

Stephen

for the kind words. What about your stuff? I see you're a musician too.

Regards

Stephen

Thanks for that Stephen.

Alan

Sounds like the stuff we like to hear!

Is it on the net?

Regards

Stephen

..for the kind words again! I was up until 3 sorting the studio stuff out last night. I'Pills' has had a good response so far and it's appearing on a Virgin Poland (ah, the big time ) compilation album.

Nicks right Alan - get the stuff somewhere we can hear it!

Regards

Stephen

Ah, the old "straight-to-piracy" strategy.

Nah - we'll remix for the album and add Hugh Hopper playing bass.

You can't beat a nice bit of mellotron.

Indeed. I think it's the most inspirational instrument known to man.

Back to the album - are we going to get a similar proportion of instrumental to vocal tracks? I thought the first one had that just about right.

I think it'll be the same-ish. It's looking that way.

There can't be that many working mellotrons knocking about these days - and I would have thought there's a fair chance it has a history - any ideas?

The one I've used came from a studio in London. I don't think it's been around at all anywhere interesting.

I do, however have the Roland D50 used by Jon Hiesman on 'A Touch of frost' and the EMU EMAX used by White Town on 'Your Woman'!

PS -I wasn't joking about Hugh - he's releasing some stuff on Burning Shed. It's an album of loops and cut ups of the likes of Robert Wyatt and Elton Dean in a contemporay ambient beat setting - so Tim says

Biosphere meets Boards of Canada meets Royksopp meets FourTet.

I like the sound of this too. Although I don't know Biosphere (which one to buy?) the other 3 are great. Any chance you could send me a CD to listen to?

I never get this response when I say that The Fire Thieves sounds like Blue Nile meets Prefab Sprout at Peter Gabriel and David Sylvians studio, while inviting the Cowboy Junkies, Caravan and U2 over for lunch.

Stephen

usual address. Thanks.
