"Oprhans" looks so cool. 3 albums in one! Tom just rocks.

I listened to it! It was worth the time for me. It's a little like a Beatles fan club meeting, but it was fun listening to George Martin and his son talk about the project.

The interview starts a little after 7 (the second hour).

I realize this is too late and worth nothing, but there are a few mellotron tapes that Streetly made that I haven't seen in sample form. They are the recorder, Ian Mcdonald classical flute, bass clarinet, and sad strings tapes that you can find on I believe the streetly website. Is there a chance that any of these could make the cut for Squids Tron 2, or is there any other Tron libraries that have these? Thank you so much.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the sounds comparison, but...what a fantastic website! And very funny - I particularly liked the "Sounds that never quite made it" section, and the chances of them restoring a Chamberlin ("Staring, pointing and laughing. Really, this time.")

Plus...I want a Skellotron!

I don't think for Squids Tron 2... but maybe vol 3!

Squids Tron 3, when's the groupbuy? Sorry Squids, I guess we ask too much of you.

I thought Keanu Reeves was the Kung Fu Jeezus (in The Matrix).

Haha, no I like to hear what you all want! After all we create these products for you. Luckily I like them too so I wouldn't mind having the sounds you're mentioning as well. I don't think I have them currently but I will have to check through the archives and see. I did have one thing in my possession that I will have to get back which is a set of tape masters that are extremely rare. They have some strings and a choir that was made by Eric Carmen & the Raspberries plus a bunch of other stuff. I had the reels but no way to dupe them becaues Patrick Warren got rid of his machine!!!! I would have bought it from him if I'd known... it was really cool looking too! But, anyway, I sent it up to Nashville where I believe it was duped to digi and I may try to get that back for either Squids Tron 2 or perhaps a 3 if there continues to be enough stuff like this... although it is going beyond just trons really. I have quite a few esoteric rare keyboards to release. Should be fun!

Hey Squids -

any news (release date) on the Reason crossgrade for vol.1?

Actually it isn't that far off but finishing it has been pushed back at the moment because of some other things, preparing for NAMM early and stuff like that. But this will be revisited after NAMM. In the meantime, I don't know if you have "Mello-T" Sonic Refill but if not it is quite a good one for trons and a great price as well.

Is this some radical new therapy?
