Ha, that's super cool about the Durutti Column album. I am a fan but never knew that about album. The stickiness of the hand made album wasn't so much a concious choice as it was an unintended side-effect of using spray paint to color the CDRs. I'm glad it still worked for you though- we eventually stopped doing it because a few people complained it got stuck in their cd players! Doing individually painted unique CDs did encourage people to buy the album, and we eventually had more demand than we could keep up with. I loved being able to give people something unique, as no two covers were the same. Thanks again for buying the other albums - I think you might like BackwardsOnwards too, as that is one the stronger efforts on there (which I somehow managed to record during the tumultuous period of separating from my wife and moving between countries), so feel free to take advantage of the free download.Astralp wrote:That's good to hearI'm not really sure why I haven't checked out more of your stuff before now, but I'm glad I stumbled upon your post here. I was remembering how the paint on the hand made CD used to stick to whatever was next to it, I thought that was great. It reminded me of the 1st Durutti Column album which had a hand made cover made of sandpaper which destroyed all records next to it (Joy Division were paid to make them before they had any records out). Anyhow i though it was great and made it a precious thing, mine had a couple of Aliens on it I think.
To everyone else, thanks so much for listening and for the suggestions. One thing I was thinking about changing in the song was the end...instead of having the "am I free" acoustic part I was thinking of just having the last chorus part repeat one more time and fade out. Any thoughts? I just feel the last part kind of hints at a new part following but doesn't go anywhere and is just not necessary, but I don't know if I should change it or not.
