It's a weird one, even for me, but I just wanted to pay homage to Mr. Bowie.

Always there for you. Repeat listens are always welcome!

I appreciate that Mark. In a sort of Lull at the moment, but I will get back to it soon.

Thank you Dan.

Thank you, always trying to be unique.

Foos yer Doos, mate. Always appreciate your kind comments.

Interesting advice, so I usually cut the dB about -3 to gain dynamics. I hate over-compression (Loudness wars), and I listen in many different types of environments to understand how it sounds on the worst and best equipment. Also sending it out to people whom I trust will tell me if it's good or not. I do know from the monitors that it is not clipping at all, as well as the Izotope Ozone indicators. On the best (Bose 12 speakers in a high-end car system, and a high-end Paradigm system), it's amazing; even on a mono track on a basic phone, it's just fine and very clear. So it's very fascinating to me what you are listening to it on. As I am always open to feedback, I do have that question. Also taking a cue from the Bryan Ferry world of mixing, there are quite a lot of tracks going on and sometimes subtly. I hate basic dance tracks that literally use only 8 to 10 tracks on the mix as they really lack depth. I usually tend to end up with 40- 80, sometimes. Curious why you make that statement and if anyone else hears that. look forward to that feedback @all

Ahh, the album is pretty much complete; supposedly my test EP is arriving from the Netherlands tomorrow, fingers crossed. I have always wanted an LP

Cheers, mate! Thank you!

Thank you, Phrygian modes are awesome, and so is your comment!

Well, it's an idea as opposed to a dancefloor extravaganza. I added the extended bass drum to give a DJ the ability to mix.

Not as Twisty as most of my tunes, but otherwise spot on!

Thank you, the Phrygian mode and the sitar give it that flair, ehh?

I love Utah Saints; I have to go watch the modern video of Something good again. I do own the CD, lol

I am so glad you enjoyed it. Bowie is a big influence on me.

Thanks, Anthony. It's more of a seventies avant-garde mix.

Thank you so much.

Yep, that's what I liked about Bowie, and also the eclectic sounds of Carlos Alomar's guitar work!

TY so Much Mate!

I shall check that out!

Thanks, mate, I can hear what you are saying about Josh and the Kings of the Stone Age. I get that. Wasn't the aim, but actually maybe deep down inside... Oh, and watch Josh on Dish, very cool!

I do love "Fashion," but recently I was turned on to the Berlin Trilogy. Now I understand so much more about what Bowie was doing artistically at the time. Also, this weird bassline reminds me of the weirdness of early Devo, who asked Bowie to produce their first album, which he declined due to scheduling, but recommended Eno, who did produce, but in Devo fashion, eliminated all of Eno's edits on tape. Such rebels.
