Phil, excellent article.

However, I thought we had an arrangement whereby you would mention me and my album Dreamhouse no less than three times, in exchange for a specified amount of cash in small unmarked bills.

I demand a refund!

Now wait a minute, Tom ... I have the canceled cheque right here, and your endorsement is quite legible.

Must try harder. By the way, did I mention I really like Dreamhouse and can't wait for the new album espcially if it's on vinyl

There has been some discussion of vinyl, but I guess final decision is up to Naim.

The thing is that tracks would have to be dropped. The only course of action for a true fan is to buy both the CD and the LP. It's your duty.

Fred,

Ok, ok, you can have the cash back - but only if you gratuitously praise the Foo Foo albums I've been involved every time you post in the Forum....

But hang on, wasn't the SOS article written before Dreamhouse appeared...

Looking forward to your new one by the way - I've always loved Paul McCandless' playing ever since first hearing him on Eberhard Weber's Later That Evening.

I find the Foo Foo albums tasty and/or excellent.

Dreamhouse 9/00, SoS article 6/01.

Then you'll probably dig the new album. Paul told me he feels it's some of his best playing ever on record.

Thanks for the kind words.

or you could release it as a Double album with carefully crafted gatefold sleeve.

That's up to Naim.

But if they did I'd be thrilled; it would be my first gatefold album sleeve ... my very own contribution to the "roll your own" crowd.
