Hello Jeff,

My favourite track so far has to be 'Meg White' although I agree they're all excellent.

I bought the album from the USA but notice it was recorded in Bath, England (unlike the others) so I'm going to try an EU copy as well. Have you got 'Trouble'? I've just ordered it.

George.

I was sent Trouble when it first came out, as a gift from an internet friend. Didn't immediately take to it, but it grew, and I loved the production by Ethan Johns. Till The Sun... is my personal favorite, dark, incredible writing, John's production again, and the song "Empty", just a masterpiece to me.

On the new one, again produced by John's, RL takes more control, giving it a different, but very likable feeling.

As good a lyricist as there is currently working the singer/songwriter genre in my opinion.

good listenin'

A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd
Notes:
A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd is a 2 CD compilation of 30 Pink Floyd obscurities and classics performed by 29 different bands most from the Los Angeles area. AFFoPF has more than 2 hours of music done in a wide variety of styles with songs 1 through 16 are more "indie and interpretive" whereas songs 17 through 30 tend to be more "traditional or prog".

The versions appearing on AFFoPF range from faithful reproductions to "way out" genre bending interpretations. Included on this record are a progressive/metal take on Astronomy Domine by The Mike Keneally Band (featuring Mike Keneally of Zappa and Steve Vai), a Latin folk rock version of Mother by Quetzal, a very Floydian interpretation of High Hopes by Shark and the Smoke (featuring Shark of the Wild Colonials), a stark and beautiful acoustic version of Comfortably Numb by legendary British rocker Graham Parker, a rich southern tinged Fearless by acclaimed solo artist Tom Freund (former bass player with Ben Harper and Graham Parker), a happy yet powerful take on Syd Barrett's Bike by Harvette (featuring Danny Allen on vocals and Dave Chapple of Baby Lemonade and Arthur Lee & Love on bass), a Brian Wilsonesque version of San Tropez also by Dave Chapple, a psychobilly version of Money by Yortoise (featuring former Warren Zevon touring guitarist John Would), a gorgeous version of Childhood's End by Becca & Pierre (featuring Pierre de Beauport, co-author of the Rolling Stones' "Thief in the Night" and wonderful B3/Mini-Moog from Becca Shropshire who has recorded with Lauryn Hill, Lucious Jackson, Wu-Tang Clan), an infectious version of See Emily Play from renowned rocker James Combs, an alt/rock version of Sheep by Numira, a Genesis meets Floyd version of In The Flesh by talented solo artist Shaun Guerin, two tracks by LA's Pink Floyd tribute band Which One's Pink? (Dogs and What Shall We Do Now?), a sultry version of Wish You Were Here from Texas alternaroots rocker Sally Semrad, a GoGoish/Shakira version of Time by 14 year-old Kelsey Wood and the "5 Minute Version" of the Wall by former Atlantic Records artist Rat Bat Blue.
