Good one George! You wanna to come over and help patch it up? Get all soaked. It will be a blast. It's a balmy -20 degrees C today.

Yikes! No way!

It's chilly here today, too. I doubt it'll get out of the '70's...

-S.

I'm cool here. I even went swimming today.

I'm having trouble following all the quotes here...

Vitamin D - So cool hearing something from you in the contests and especialy this month Indeed there's a great goa feel about this with quite a lot happening in the background. So what if your production skills are not so good yet; I realize that with you offering this for the contest you are sharing your love for music here and I for one applaud you entering this. Sure there's room for improvement on this track, but the intention you had when creating this is one that comes across and that is what counts here. And as I see it that was the whole intention of this months contest. I'd surely love to hear more from you in the café

hehehe

I dont know whether to thank you or to curse you??

nahh I thank you for the comments!

though I personally think the production (err sequencing) is a good one.. I just didnt add on to it as I should have.. as of now its a pretty short journey..

and I'm fairly sure the EQ has to be way off as everyone knows I dont have proper monitoring equipment...

I get the feeling from your words that you are trying to be polite but really dislike it.. if thats so its no problems.. thats to say, if there is anything that you feel its lacking, I'd be more than happy to hear it/them no one advances from hearing only good words and im no expert

so lay it on me! sharing is caring!

'nailed my rag to the door' as it were. sorry, i'm in a lyrical mood - i mean i've posted my submission.

glad to see there's still less than 20 entries as that means my customary 'reviewing' of every track won't take so long and the wife and child will 'know me'.

@knockman - just started listening to it.

wtf does it remind me of so far?

Ah! Eno "Some of them are old". hope that's not too wide of the mark.

thankyou. ENO's warped pop is where i want to go

(better go and listen to that one again, in case i subconciously ripped it off )

[clueless]

phew!

[knockman]

it's OK, eno's track's 5:11 mines only 3:57 so it'll get thrown out of court

[clueless]

of course...

[Wopelka]

in case i subconciously ripped it off

did you rip it off?
i don't know eno's own tracks very well, but yours is excellent, i dig it.

thankyou, no i didn't. i'm just delighted that clueless has made a reference so welcome. though curiously, having just listened to 'here come the warm jets', the album on which the eno track in question appears, i notice the word 'maisonette', that i used to label my truncated version, features in the lyrics to 'cindy tells me'

anyway, off to work on my next track 'another brown world'.

Well, I'll second the Eno reference. Disclaimer: Eno is my favorite artist and has been since I discovered his music in the 80s. And it's kind of funny because at first I mostly liked his instrumental stuff and the bands he worked with, but by and by, his voice grew on me and when I heard that song he did with John Cale, "Spinning Away," I was hooked. It was that song in particular that made me realize there are a whole bunch of feelings and concepts which could be rendered visually, but music and language convey so much better. As opposed to the usually mutually-exclusive trappings of music and (visual) art. You and I both perceive things visually so I thought that might be interesting.

Anyway, I really like your piece too. Easily my favorite song from you and likely my favorite in this contest - warts and all. I love the concept. It reminds me of a book a housemate shared with me back then about all the hidden biology, chemistry and physics in everyday life. It was "The Secret House" by David Bodanis and it creeped me out. The mellotronic flutey sounds are more vintage psychedelia than Eno and the big finish more romantic 80s new wave than the plaintive beginning - but those are all things I love too! Wow.

OMT: That mellow electric guitar when it first comes in is sublime. Very 70s Hollies - a la "All I Need is the Air that I Breathe."

thanks You™, i'm very taken with the way you express things - for me eno's an example of how things merge and expand simultaneously - all these endeavours are one and the same whether they're labeled science, art or cooking, we're just investigating a human need. i wasn't conciously thinking about any of this or eno when i made the piece, just allowed myself free rein, as i believe i always do, so it's no surprise to me that an earlier psychedelia creeped in. plus in reference to john cale, whose excellent collaborations with eno have yielded such gems, it was his recent 'homo sapiens' album that retriggered my enthusiasm for modern song and lyricism, providing as it did the evidense that i've still got a long way to go - i really need a distant horizon to set out for

enough rambling

Knockman, it's a beautiful track. Does it remind me Brian Eno? No, King Crimson instead. I love it
