Thanks!

Why was?It strongly is!

yay

Currently at number 4 in Tower Records' electronica charts. Granted, it's a niche within a niche, but still, I'm pleased. http://is.gd/1mHu2

Great! I'll try to contact you after the release! cheers!

Full album streaming? Nah, I like hearing some new tracks 'after' I've bought it. pleasant surprises or slightly different remixes not available in the full stream may add value.

I'd be hard pushed not to buy a new release though!

You're welcome, Frederik. It seems like a fun way to discover new music.

24 hearts. I suppose I either need vocals or a more involved community presence there, as it seems you need a few hundred hearts to get featured anywhere. Still, seems like a cool site for the more commercial-oriented indie artists.

Craig -- any room in the bowels of obscurity for one more?

Thanks for the comment, Brian. Yep, I've chased up getting FLAC versions of Lemodie onto Bleep, but I'm unfortunately at the mercy of the powers that be. I might see if I can set it for download though Bandcamp, and route the proceeds to Benbecula, rather than wait for Bleep. Let's see if that's an option.

Hi Simon -- I've never really been interested in DJing, to be honest. Much prefer just staying in and writing my own tunes. I'm rubbish at keeping up with the latest tunes too; tend not to listen to much music (other than what I hear when mastering).

Thanks very much, Simon!

Not for the time being, I don't think. As for networking, what's wrong with email? At least we can keep a check on our own communications that way, and avoid it being drowned out by spam or ads (and can also search, label, catalogue messages). I'm just getting a bit tired of spreading my music thinly across different sites -- more interested in... Read More building my own site a bit. Plus I don't like these huge billion-dollar corporations building an empire off our collective, penniless backs, either. I can feel a rant coming on, so I'll stop! ;)

I mean, I don't want it to come off as some sort of hackneyed, anti-corporate stance (offer me a BMW ad, and I'll be all over it), but really, there are better ways of listening to my music, better ways to connect with what I'm doing, and better ways to get in touch with me. All of which don't require the pervasive mediation of MySpace and its adverts. Hmm, it is an anti-corporate rant!

Yeah, might be an idea to offer an explanation on my site, you're right -- thanks. :)

i can't wait

Very kind of you, David -- thank you very much. :)

oh, that's too funny. The jewel pack on my copy of Midsummer was reduced to a fine mist after its adventure through the post but somehow the disc was just fine. THAT'S when I became a fan! : ) Looking very forward to y'alls next slab.
