Nice kit there - you're a Roland freak eh? The Mackies will do you proud I reckon, especially at that price. Make sure they're 100% working though before you pay.

+1000101001 except using headphones for detailed sample editing can be much more accurate than speakers.

...and another copy of OOOD - Breathing Space on eBay: £99.99!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/O-O-O-D-Breathing-Sp...1QQcmdZViewItem

Many years to realise that - being merely someone's opinion - complements mean exactly as much as negative reviews... it took me far too long to detach from what people said about our music. Swiftest way to a big head that I know is to believe people when they say you're the shit. Having said that though, you have a piece of music there that I would be very proud to have created, you are a musical genius please will you send me a piece of your clothing maybe some briefs or a sock I wish to frame it and hang it in the bathroom where I may view it whilst sitting on the toilet.

Steady on old chap, all I did was enjoy a tune.

Listened to it about 6 times so far, and played it to a few people. Big thumbs up all round!

I'm liking this a lot. Reminds me of Vince Clark, Howard Jones, Scritti Politti and Bluetech.

Nope...

Well done reggie, you got the joke. Have a banana.

I have joined the ranks! I am now a ranker...

It will help you peel potatoes doublequick. Software-only solution.

Mr. Sound Engineer's job is to make Mr. Producer's music shine though... however even he can't do anything about the quality of the music Mr. Producer has written.

A/S/L?

The way it feels to me is that morally, we should be getting paid from the sales of unopened CDs of our music. Legally, we aren't entitled. Sorry if my first post confused things.

The album was distributed through Flying, which went bankrupt shortly after the release. It was a regular deal with %royalties, but the label never paid properly and after Flying went down, they were unable to even if they'd wanted. Flying's stock was sold off to recoup the company's losses, however the liability to pay artist royalties was not sold with it (ie. the sale was 'unencumbered' - like us artists are such a burden to the CD-selling industry). I can only presume this was the route by which Kagdila came by stock of the album. The rights to the album have reverted to us and as far as I know, Kagdila strictly speaking no longer has the right to sell aLIVE; whilst it's a bit of a wierd situation we don't mind much - good luck to them, glad the music's still getting out there somehow EDIT: To clarify, Kagdila is under no obligation to pay us anything for the copies of aLIVE they sell, as they bought the stock when the original distributors went bankrupt.

Simon's a nice guy, I haven't met the others. All I'll say though, is that people heap a whole lot of stuff on the shoulders of artists so you mustn't be surprised if they can't be sure what people want from them when they meet new people. Treat people like gods and you'll inflate their egos; treat them like regular people and that's what you'll get. We created our 'stars'... and we created their egos.

...and if you like it, please drop a PayPal donation on O_O_O_D (at) yahoo (dot) com - we don't make any money from these sales at all. C. x

Mate your signature keeps asking me for a username and password. What gives?

Hands off, you've got a girlfriend.

No, it was a Roland A90, I think. Either that or a Korg Karma. I wrote it 20 years ago but recorded it in 2001.

Cheers for pointing that out This is just what comes out when I get near a piano. Guess it's more 'me' than a lot of the other music I make. I wrote this piece when I was 18.

Keep trying
